Not even been riding 6 months yet, just got knocked off on my way home. Not serious, only got cuts and bruises but the bike is fucked. Cracked one of the engine cases so it pissed out all it’s oil, fork is cracked at the axle end too.
Traffic was moving walking pace, clear oncoming lane so I was filtering on the right, only about 10mph and a driver suddenly turned right without looking in the mirror or indicating, hit the left side of me with her door/front wing.
Not really sure of the next steps so any advice appreciated. She’s immediately calling her insurance and reporting it to the police which I told her wasn’t necessary anyway. I don’t want to involve my insurance as I was not at fault so don’t plan on making a claim with them. Will want to make a claim through hers. I have a witness who corroborates that she moved without indicating and that I wasn’t travelling fast etc. She doesn’t have his details.
