Damage to bike from Roadworks

Question

I am in a bit of a dilemma and am not sure whom to contact. I ride a Harley Davidson and had a slight mishap Saturday 12 September 2009. I have crossed the N12 highway at the Gordon Road bridge between Hendrik Potgieter and Lange Avenue. The tarmac was scraped and sharp high edges where the expansion joints are, was left as is. This is not clearly visible unless you are aware of the fact. The edges are sharp and protruding at nearly 5 cm higher than the rest of the road. I went over the expansion joint, well within the speed limit, and my rear wheel connected with the sharp edge causing it to dent. I have taken the bike into the Harley Davidson Clearwater dealership and the quote to repair the wheel is in excess of R6,000.00 rand. I was then informed to contact SANRAL as they should have insurance that cover these types of incidents. I would really appreciate your assistance or guidance as to whom to direct this mail too.

Answer

You need to contact the Northern Region of SANRAL and speak to Yogie Naidoo at 0124266200.
