That's a hit and run. You should have called the emergency services (police for hit and run, who will investigate fire), they will certainly know exactly what vehicle it was.
By the way, call MCAMS asap. They'll help.

I could sense that impact from beginning of description, nasty!
Can confirm hgv can hit various things and not hear, feel it or really even notice. Neighbours parked car (skoda supurb estate) got hooked by a rigid body truck and flung into a junction and dragged along a few other cars. Probably £100k of damage in 30 seconds and the guy only really stopped as a dog walker in the road they turned into jumped out and stopped them. Was about 8 cars scraped to death by the supurb bumper attachment. Whilst it's no fault and no injuries at all, means my postcode insurance will now be up for next millenia....

Picked up the Harley from having rusty headers replaced this evening, very hot so eschewed jacket and nice easy ride home along the carnage that is Wandsworth Road. I never usually go down there, but the mechanic is on it (Ace motors - very good people) it’s shit, Clapham is shit and Wandsworth is shit. Knocked off while standing still in traffic by rear end of a fire engine turning right swinging round and clouting me. I was stationary in the straight on lane , as was he in the right turn lane then he moved off and bang. Fucking bit of a shock. Passers by helped me pick up bike and then off after firefighters. Broken clutch lever, indicator lens and rip on seat. Bruised arm and hip on me. Quite annoying and annoyed with myself too. Probably going to fuck my insurance big style. Not happy. First proper off in about thirty years.
And to cap it all get home to find an expensive new shirt has shrunk despite me hand washing it in barely lukewarm water - fucking bastard thing.
