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.

Caught the fire engine fairly quickly and they were good, offered to call an ambulance, full exchange of details, offer of a tea, etc. Being a bloody big fire engine they didn’t even notice any impact, first they knew of it was some pissed off motorcyclist shouting at them at the next set of lights.
Just all a pain and today was probably the first time in London that I’ve ever ridden without a jacket on -sod’s law.
Why do I have different log ins on my phone and iPad???

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.
