Pete,
real sorry to hear about the off - and very glad you don't appear to be too
badly hurt...
Re the aches taking time to come through - sounds normal. While I thankfully havn't had any offs of any note (since my MX days anyway) I've had a couple of big crunches in cars.... In both cases, on the day of the event I just felt a bit knocked about. The next day things got much, much worse, and I suddenly realised how banged up I was. The same was true of my wife who was with me in the second crunch...
As a result of the second crunch I got some compensation for neck injuries -
needed a trip to the hospital for an examination (paid for by the third party
insurers I guess ?) but it was worth it. If you got a neck injury it can give
you grief for a long time - I had neck ache for probably a year after no 2 !
Another point, which doesn't seem to be the norm, but you never know...
When my bike got knocked over in a car park last year the third party admitted liability, phoned his insurance company (saga) and they sent me a
letter saying that as their driver had admitted it was his fault, I could deal
directly with them. They supplied a hire bike, and to be perfectly honest couldn't have done any more, and paid up direct to the dealer who repaired
the bike (I insisted on an authorised Ducati dealer (specialised bike and all that) and also that I would not accept repaired items like the tank - only a
new one).
Good luck, and hope both you and your bike are 100% real soon !
Cheers,
Pete
