    It does seem a lot of damage caused by a bike, it the kind of damage I'd expect in a fairly high speed car collision or maybe being hit by a larger vehicle like a lorry. I had a car drive into me a month ago and the damage wasnt even close to this.

    I'm not saying your lying but the insurance company will be extremely suspect so expect a lot of in depth questioning and people coming out to inspect. This is of course assuming the insurance company advise her to retract her claim of liability which seems to be the norm these days.

    I headbutted a car door when I came off my motorbike in a collision.

    The claim for a dented door on a corsa came to around £1000 according to my insurance.

    It cost me less than £30 to repair my 'bike with second hand parts......
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
