Im gutted.
Travelling along a duel carriage way in the left lane, there's a junction to the right on a bend, motorbike pulls out the junction into my path.
Thankfully everyone walked away.
I know it's only a car but I'm gutted

Ahh bugger Emma! Glad all involved are ok. Cars can be fixed and that looks like a fairly simple one.
If you need a cheap second hand front bumper PM Budgie or Sir_Dave. I know they definitely have one in Monaco, and if you want it painting Mondial let me know. I can get it done for not much money!

Surely it's not worth going through your insurance for this? - regardless of who's fault it is, it will bump your premium if you let your insurers know. I got wallopped by this when a truck went up my backend (opening myself up for banter there) when I was younger and although it was his fault, it classed me as a 'high risk driver' as I managed to 'get myself in that situation'! Pulling into my drive!
Yeh insurance company are on the case. Car has been recovered by RASL and im assuming my insurance company will want to assess the damage asap.

Bonnet seems ok, wing will need spraying without a doubt.
I know this. At least it's only a car and a motorbike that's broken and not people.
At least everyone is ok!!
Have you had a look behind the bumper? Might be cheaper alround to not go through insurance tbh.

The motorbike is a write off without a doubt so can't really avoid getting the insurance involved
Im happy with that though tbh. Should come back as I'm not at fault, (witnesses), I know my premium will go up but hey, that's the way it is.

Light has had it.
From looking at it yesterday it will need:- new bumper, new spliter, new fog light, new headlight, new archliner, and wing resprayed. I don't think the wing will need replacing but definitely needs spraying.
And I ache like mad today. Neck, shoulders and back are killing me
I hope to god its not Adam.
It would kill me to have to see it go
I think I would buy it back and repair it.
Jist uploading photos of the junction and skid marks etc and I'll chuck them up on here.

So here's the photos from the scene.
I was travelling in the left lane, the bike has come from the central reservation junction bit.
My first skid mark literally right opposite the junction
The white line is where the bike skidded from down the road, so he hit me just before that line,
And where the car ended up

I can't see how you could be proportioned any amount of blame on that one Emma, although im sure they'll be people on here ready to argue the point!
If the insurance company give even the meerest hint of the words 'write' off' then PM Gally or myself. A write off should be at the bottom of a list of other options that should be considered first.

Thanks for the advice Ollie. Car should be on its way to a body shop today or tomorrow to be assessed. I'll let you know the outcome.
No nothing Adam.
There was a guy in the left lane behind me but no one else coming round that bend in the right lane.
There were a good 20/30 seconds before another vehicle even come round the corner.

He seemed pretty panicked at the time straight after as his daughter had come off the bike and ended up behind the car so she nearly went under the wheels.
He shouted at me "what the hell were you doing" as he ran towards his daughter. To which I responded "you turned into me"
I asked if both were ok, then I called the police and kept my distance from them.
He came up to me just before the police left and seemed pretty humble by that point and asked if I was ok.
That was all we said to each other as the police sorted everything out.

There were three bikes coming out that junction. Two sped off pretty quickly, the third hesitated for a second or two, I saw him pull out so I slammed my brakes and the horn on, which is where the first skid is, but it was too late and before I knew it he'd hit me.
