one more questions: do you have any idea of how much I can claim for a broken clavicle and a broken tibia, which has had to be surgically fixed with the insertion of a metal plate?
...I am looking forward to buying a new bike and I am just trying to calculate my after-compensation budget

about 5k, depends on the circumstances and how strong the case is, where the blame is apportioned and so on. but personal injury can take around 3 years

by the way, its customary round here to introduce yourself '<img'>

Guzz, what about the Aprilia if they are from Italy? The best bike around  '<img'>

Anyway, as Trouty says its anyways nice to say hi and put the virtual card behind the bar.

I'll have a vodka and red bull. Its going to be a long day.
Hope you are making jokes and have a smile on your face my Danish diplomatic friend. Long may your memory live!

sorry if I did not introduced myself properly. i am a 27 years old phd student. i am studying at SOAS, in London, and that is the reason why i moved here. what else can I say about myself? i have been riding around on the ER5 for 4 years and i have to say that i am quite happy with that bike, i am a quiet driver, do not need an agressive motorcycle. ... and, as student, I need something very cheap to mantain! However I am considering buying a hornet 600 if it turns out that my bike is "beyond economical repair"...which seems likely.
thanks for your help
