    Evening all,
    Thought I'd join a group as I'm no longer on facebook.
    I own a 2015 Tiger 800XRX
    but was knocked off 6 weeks ago by what's turned out to be an uninsured driver who was on his mobile phone at the time. I'm still riding a hire bike which is a Honda NSX750
    It's ok but not a Triumph.

    Welcome aboard Stu, sorry to hear about your woes, as Cullumity said, have you tried the MIB (not Men in Black, lol) I won a claim from them a few years back when an uninsured idiot rammed into the back of my car, or are you claiming from your insurer's, whichever route I hope you have a favourable outcome.

    We all (well the law abiding amongst us) pay into the MIB which is funded from them premiums of the righteous.

    They are,yes. Time will tell I suppose. Just very frustrating. Weve got 3 cars and a motorbike in my family. Costs a bloody fortune

    Hi and welcome.

    Always sad to hear of mishaps, especially by another's neglect.

    Great loan bike you've inherited though!!:grinning:;)

    Welcome to a terrific forum, Stu, and I hope you're back on your Triumph or another one soon. And that you're healed up. I always joke that I'm the only person in the US (maybe the world?) that's not on Facebook. Never have been. Nice to know there's another. ;)
