Was out riding in Julian the other day and came across this pickup truck stopped in the road, two bikers along side of the driver giving hime hell and another in front facing him with his arms waving.
The guy in the truck throws it into reverse, smokes the tires and heads backwards about 10 yrds(almost 10 meters) yeah I had my tape measure
and smacks into me . I braced myself and put the front brakes on hard as I saw him coming. Bam! he hits me and then rides up over my front wheel and lifts the back of the truck off the ground.
the bike now stands by itself.
the guy that was waving his arms runs up to the driver and grabs the driver around the neck, I jump off the bike run up to the guy pull him away from the driver, who now commences to get out of the truck and pulls out a knife and say's "you want to fight then". Mean while i pulled the guy off of him.
The guy who I pulled off then say the knife and (saw Red) came back at him beat the shit out of him, told me that the guy had pushed the other 2 bikers off the road whilst they were trying to overtake him on a double yellow(thats a no go over here). People by this time had called the CHP saying a guy had caused an accident and was brandishing a knife.
The original 3 bikers got back on their bikes and rode off.
Friends of mine removed the drivers keys as it looked like he wanted to take off as well.
Well the cops arrived in a possy as well as a few paramedics and fire engines within a few minutes. They must have been hiding around the corner waiting for us to call.
Over here you are supposed to carry your registration and proof of insurance with you, and when involved in an accident swop the insurance and driver details. The guy tells us his insurance is at home and tells the CHP (California Highway Patrol) the same thing.
I was not hurt or or pissed off or anything, thinking his insurance will take care of the bike.. I get AAA to pick my bike up ( I have coverage for 100 mile radius free pick up to any destination of my choice.Which is part of the AAA card holder agreement. Get it delivered to MOTO Forza (benelli dealer), and call my insurance in the morning.
Now here cames the shit part. I get the police report - the other MOFO (mother F**er) did not have insurance and was cited. My insurance cannot get a fair market value on the Benelli as they are so scarce, so give me a value of $6400 what they want to pay out as well as take a $500.00 deductible.
Oh and the parts to repair it is over $13000.00 plus $2000.00 labour. So they total it (write it off.)
Accessories on the bike were about $2000.00. They want to reimburse me $500.00
NOW I AM PISSED and sad
I have refused the settlement value and will update on what happens next.
