That 0.1% of doubt is your self reset button.

Use it wisely.

Glanced it at 15 mph. And that much damage. Glad I never owned a Peugeot 😆

What year and value is it?

Alpin, what relevance does your story have to this ?

Whoever was at fault in your story, you were aggressive to a female driver. Well done there you big man you 🙄

don’t leave your bike lying on the floor of a carpark in future.
Its a difficult call. Where do you put your bike? Against your vehicle? (fall/scratch etc) – on a verge etc in carpark out of grabbing-distance? Chance of being pinched.

Are you a man or a mouse?

So you leave your bike out of ‘grabbing distance’. Are things so bad where you live that some scrote dare take your bike from under your nose?

That’s a vote for the UK then, 😈

4×4 a3 diesel and two oranges.

Do I win the internet tonight?

You should be ashamed of yourself! 😈

Have you seen the traffic at Neville’s Cross? It would make anybody cross 😆

You must conform to the way of thinking of the majority of STW’ers!

No 4×4, no Audi A6, no Orange bikes!

these are the rules that must be obeyed!

🙄

Yep, that’s exactly what I meant. My self deprecating nature means I regularly post on internet forums to have a moan at myself. Mate, have a beer and watch bake off. It’ll calm you down.

Love to, but can’t have access to the remote! 😆

The sad fact is that some judges would actually let ‘scrotes’ off for this reason

Is that from the daily mail book of facts that are made up?
I have to thank you for your highly intellectual answer

an actual intellectual would not have needed to ask

WOW!

Thank you for your intelligence and obvious wit 🙄

Who cares and who really cares enough to log onto a forum to have a pop?!

You mean people like you? 🙄

What is your case tizzzzle?
I guess if you have to ask then your viewpoint is different to mine. Which is fine.

I don’t have much sympathy with the OP because leaving a bike lying around and getting it run over is like leaving your car/house unlocked and getting it screwed- your negligence/laziness is a contributing factor in it being able to happen.
So in your professional capacity you’d let off a scrote who stole stuff from an unlocked house or car because it was the owner’s fault?

so, your dim enough to leave your bike on the ground in a busy car park where other vehicles are passing and it get damaged and that someone elses fault – i think he / his insurnce co will run circles around you.

Cheers bud.

Case in point

What is your case tizzzzle?

Junkyard, You seem to have a lot of experience in these issues.
What exactly are your transport legislation / experience in these matters?
What does it matter? His posts in this thread are based on obvious common sense and a basic understanding of the application of law In relation to a moving vehicle striking a stationary object.

…..and common sense is always law?

No offence OP, but I think you need to wise up. The man was in a 4×4, that means he doesn’t have to pay much/any attention whilst driving, and I bet he’s got his additional “4x4c*nt” licence, which means he can just shout and swear at you before speeding away.

……and that’s my point!

The hatred of 4×4 drivers in this mad world. We are all tarred with the same brush, and yet, some of us also ride MTB like the rest of you.

Bloody hell… He was at a trailcentre, you park nose in because you want easy access to the boot. Same reason everyone parks nose in at supermarkets. Get a grip.

I drive a van with rear doors and always reverse into spaces, no problem for me getting in the back, the housekeeper usually unloads the trolley

So……are there any signs in place to say that you ‘must’ reverse park?

I doubt it.

TuckerUK – Member
He reverse out of a space, instead of reversing in and driving forwards out as per basic common sense & the Highway Code. Bell end of the highest order, and his being a bell end caused damage to your bike. Simple.

Look at any supermarket car park and look at all the “bell end” car Parker’s you complete muppet!

What relevance is the “large 4×4”?

I have a large 4×4, but it’s just a car to me. So can we stop trying to get all the tree huggers on your side?

Every time that I leave my bike at the back of my car, I always make sure that nobody can run over it, I have even moved it on occasions when I have heard/seen the car next to mine want to reverse.

As a driver of a “large 4×4” or any other car, you do not normally reverse with the steering turned so sharply that you would hit either of your wings on vehicles parked next to your own car. So I find it hard to believe that the car’s owner drove in such an irresponsible manner. I know that now feel angry but surely some of this is your own fault and you know it.

Without photos, accurate measurements, etc, what is your proof? The word of a few mates?

Legally, there are so many ways that any judgement against the car driver can be declined that it is just not worth the trouble. You will be lucky with the £20 offering. Sounds crap, but that’s the way it is,but a very good learning point for everybody following this post.

Just leave the label blank, because we would never agree on anything 😆

Principal Mining Engineer for an international consultancy
where & when did you start out? I rather stupidly turned down a sponsored position at nottingham uni to study mining eng, always wondered what I’d be up to now if I’d stuck it out.

Started out in the late eighties in County Durham. It has taken me all over the world, and still does.

Principal Mining Engineer for an international consultancy.

So I get to travel to some interesting places around the world……and get paid for it 8)

Pay is good.

Used to go to college with lots of people from the Environment Agency. They used to investigate fly tipping and told me that they search the rubbish for things like letters.
Doesn’t matter if somebody has paid for rubbish to be taken away, at least they should know who they paid.

We need the holy one’s words of wisdom here, has anybody heard from bikeind today? 😆

Regardless of what energy source that the UK decides to use, there will always be somebody that complains about it.

But then they still want electricity and heating 🙄

Does the sky come alive with these? 😆

it’s not exactly the safest way to make a living.

That’s true, I’ve been working in the mining industry for over 25yrs, and I’ve died on multiple occasions now 😆

That’s opencast not a pit. The decent easy stuff like that was finished off years ago, what’s left is the bottom of the barrel and they’ll struggle to make a profit.

Even though that’s thermal coal, and not coking coal or PCI, they’ll still be making a profit.

So we had the “wheel size, trail come alive post” and now the “Chinese lights” post, I wonder what will be next from bikeind? 🙄

Mine make the trail “come alive” 😆

Yes, it’s back again!

Same here. I saw the thread earlier about it, so I wasn’t surprised when it started to happen on my ipad.

Big bowl of porridge

Encouraging your children to watch such things on TV……….shame on you!

Sennheiser PX360 here. Excellent sound quality and very comfortable to wear.

I forgot about mine, but it turned up today. 8)

As long as she doesn’t check the search history and sees all the ‘other’ sites that you regularly visit 😳

Do you really think this is just an English thing?
I think the OP is a bit sensitive.

He’s showing signs of borderline sensitivity
