So I went to a birthday party at my Thai girlfriend’s upcountry family home over the weekend. After we were there for a while, my GF asked me to move her car so that someone else could exit the compound with their car from the parking area at the front of the house. I already had a few drinks at that point and I accidentally plowed the back of her car right into her brother’s brand new Ducati sport motorcycle that was parked behind her car.
There is only a bit of damage to the back of her car, luckily only the bumper cover is a bit scuffed, but when I crashed into his motorcycle it got smashed up pretty badly against the wall on the other side. Thus, there is damage to two sides of his bike. From the car hitting it and then from when the motorcycle hit the wall. And then the bike fell over when I pulled the car forward a bit after the accident. The damage from the car to the bike wasn't so bad but the wall really smashed up the bike on the other side and the fall presumably added to the damage of the petrol tank on the side of the bike that I crashed into as there were a couple of large stones on the ground that the bike landed on top of when it fell over. It was so dark that I couldn't really see all the damage I caused until we got some flashlights after the accident.
Everyone in her family was really good about it, but I could see from the look in their eyes that they weren’t impressed at all with my little stunt. Now I’ve gotta get my GF’s car fixed, which isn't so bad, but the worst part is how to deal with the bike. It’s a lot of monetary damage and I don’t have the money right now to pay for all the imported Italian parts needed for the repair, however her brother obviously wants his expensive and new 998cc sport bike repaired ASAP, and I don't blame him fir how he feels.
This isn’t looking good for me. Probably a big loss of face in the eyes of her family that I won’t be able to recover from. My girlfriend says she isn’t angry, but she hasn’t acted her same warm way towards me since the accident. So I don’t know how things are going to go with her in the future. We haven't had any intimacy together since the tragic event.
At the moment though the biggest problem is how to pay for the damage to the car and motorcycle and make good on everything I did. I can now pay for the car repairs as I said, but I told them I would need a bit of time to transfer the money in for the bike repairs, although the truth is I don't have the cash readily available. I have a property overseas I could possibly sell, but my parents are living in the place right now and selling a property takes time anyway. Don't think I can qualify for a bank loan either at the moment. I’m not really sure what to do next.
