Trans-Action

Trans-Action

26 Sep 2008

I was riding to work on my old Honda Translap, headlight on, filtering around the outside of stationery traffic at less than 10mph, according to witnesses.

Exhaust Issues

Exhaust Issues

13 Sep 2008

Can I make my exhaust pipes which are marked ‘not for highway use’ legal by putting baffles in them and then getting the bike re-MOT’d? Answer No, sorry, even though what you are doing is perfectly sensible, because you would have a quiet bike, the offence is riding a motorcycle on the road with cans […]

Going Dutch?

Going Dutch?

I have an ongoing claim which is being dealt with by solicitors. I’ve been left with severe pain in my lower back as a result of an accident, and it stops me working. I’ve been for my medical appointment, and the defendant’s insurers are now asking for access to my medical records, but there are […]

Dirty Droppings

Dirty Droppings

13 Aug 2008

I was riding my Blade out on a warm summers evening when I came round what was a blind bend at a fairly decent speed, nothing too fast and I was well under control, when my bike shot out from underneath me. I had no real idea what had happened until I stopped rolling, touched […]

Defective Bike

Defective Bike

13 Jul 2008

I recently purchased a bike from a local dealer. About two weeks later I was coming back from a ride in the countryside when all of a sudden the electrics went and everything was pitched into darkness, as there were no street lights around.

How Can I Prove I Was Not Speeding?

How Can I Prove I Was Not Speeding?

13 Feb 2008

I was involved in an accident which was not my fault. A car driver just pulled out in front of me in a 30 zone with me right on top of him, just like in the advert on TV. After apologies from him, I got a mate to pick me and my bike up in […]

Health Hazard

Health Hazard

13 Jan 2008

I’ve been involved in an accident, liability isn’t a problem, and I thought I was just waiting for a cheque. But I have private health cover through my employers, and they’re now after me for the costs of treatment. I thought I had private health cover to pay for this sort of thing, but they’re […]

Harley Fairplay

Harley Fairplay

13 Dec 2007

On 16th August 2007 my bike, a Harley-Davidson 883 Roadster, was parked on a mate’s drive. While it was there, a driver reversed onto my mate’s private drive, and knocked the bike over. Me and the two other people I was with at the time looked out of the window and saw this driver hit […]

Inquest Enquiry

Inquest Enquiry

18 Sep 2007

I was involved in a tragic accident in which a good friend of mine was killed. He appeared to go out of control in front of me, for reasons nobody has ever really got to the bottom of. I’ve been summonsed by the coroner to give evidence at the inquest, which I don’t really want […]

Rash Gravel

Rash Gravel

17 Aug 2007

I’m already getting the advice of another solicitor, but I would like a second opinion. My current solicitors tell me I don’t have a case, but I think I do.

Insurance Faker

Insurance Faker

26 Jun 2007

I was knocked off my motorcycle by a driver who is a well known local scrote. I personally believe he’s a drug dealer, I don’t think he’s passed his driving test, and I’ll be amazed if he had insurance. The police knew him by name when they showed up at the scene and asked him […]

Innercity 125

Innercity 125

25 May 2007

I was quite badly injured after a pillion ride from this bloke I don’t know particularly well. He showed up with a new Aprilia 125 outside a pub and offered me a lift into town.

In Car Entertainment

In Car Entertainment

15 Mar 2007

I went out for my traditional Easter Sunday bike ride this year, which is always the first day that my bike comes out in the New Year. I always have my bike properly serviced before this date, and it’s properly laid up for the winter.

Small Soldiers

Small Soldiers

07 Mar 2007

My bike was bumped from behind while waiting at traffic lights, and it was knocked out from underneath me. I wasn’t injured, but there was plastics damage to my bike.

Banged to Rights

Banged to Rights

01 Nov 2006

What do you do when you’ve been pulled by the Fuzz? When are you looking at doing porridge and when can you expect a slapped wrist? Worry no more, Superbike’s very own freelance jailbird Bertie Simmonds, goes into the showers, drops the soap and then gets tooled up to find out the answers.

Courting Disaster

Courting Disaster

You’ve been pulled. The copper is glaring at you and you’ve got that sick feeling in your stomach. But fear not. There are always ways and means to turn points into pardons. Sometimes. SuperBike finds out when You’ve been pulled over. Don’t panic. Maybe you’re angry, maybe you’re upset, probably nervous too, or a mix […]

Caught on camera

Caught on camera

What about Gatso and camera offences?

Don’t ignore a summons

Don’t ignore a summons

That’s plain daft. Do ask for expert help. White Dalton are probably the finest firm of biking solicitors in the country and with them on your side you may avoid being bummed by Bubba when you pick up the hairy soap, but as Andrew says, sometimes it can work if you defend yourself: “It can […]
