    I hope you got his details, that's a no fault claim for you. If he has insurance you can chase it with them. Easy way for a free body kit and repairs

    Obviously he was very sorry and he admitted his distraction...he has insurance (in italy is required) ... now it depends how much the insurance pay...

    I push the horn for 10 seconds... in italy people are very distracted by using phone on driving... it's getting more dangerous driving on the streets... i'm also against in using phone-earphones, because if you concentrated in a (job) conversation you're too distracetd in driving...the man in the van wears earphone... maybe he wasn't using them...who knows...

    It's a $534 AU fine and 3 point's to your licence (can have a maximum of 12 point's) if you get caught using a mobile while driving here in South Australia.
    Personally i think it should be a higher fine, i still see so many people using their phone's while driving.
    Australia is now getting camera's that can detect a driver on their phone, as well as adding them into fixed and mobile speed camera's and they're installing them everywhere
    They say an estimated 2 in 3 driver's are tempted to use their phones while driving

    At least it's ABS, make sure it is injection moulded, not glued on lugs or anything. And NEVER GET PVC FAIRINGS!!!! I can't stress enough, you are not saving $100, you're just wasting $500.

    Yesterday at work I was tasked with getting a scooter running. It had been sitting for 10 years. It's an LML 125 2 stroke with four speed gearbox. Unlike anything I've ever ridden, felt like being a learner again due to the controls being different.

    Got it running with some fresh fuel, battery and spark plug, then a wash.

    Finally got to work on bikes! As in my own bikes. Had dad picking a bike up for me, too. I put the TTR250 on the ramp. It's not pretty, but I need to get a spark. Backburner. I was planning to get the VTR 250 sorted first. It's been sitting a while, so carbies off, pretty clean inside, back together and tried starting. I put a little fuel down its throat to help it, not so good, the bike caught fire (like a BBQ flash fire, just blew it out) and flooded it. Plugs out, iridium plugs, blackened and wet. Found a couple of old plugs and fired her up! No, the bike ran, not set it on fire, again. Now for all those minor things, like chain and sprockets, make the brakes, see if the clutch and gearbox work, check fluids... Aftermarket exhaust sounds means. received_2374748466173587.jpeg Doesn't look that good in the flesh.
