Ok today I had my first crash, or more my first crash had me. Classic example of someone not looking, I was coming round a roundabout quite quick, when a mum (with kids in the back) pulled out in front of me, I hit the side of her car and flew off, bike one way me the other. I was to her right (and thus had the right of way) and she admitted to not properly looking when she pulled out, blamed it on the sun, then the kids, then just apologised. Anyway took down insurance details etc, the front end of the bike is pretty much a right off i'm guessing;
and the wheel is gone;
but this can be solved by a new set of forks and a wheel, what worries me is this:
now its not a huge dent, but it is deeper then it looks in the photo. What I am trying to gauge is can this be fixed?
also she has asked if it is possible to do this outside of the insurance company, what are peoples experience with this?
