Man that sucks! Any rim/fork damage or fender only? Really like the color of your bike, don't see it too often.

This guy got it worse when an F-15 got him. Did the pilot even notice that you were on the runway?

Maybe it is just lighting but it looks as if the left side fork tube is showing a bigger space as it goes into the upper slider covers. Are your forks bent?
Man this would sure pizz me off.

Thanks HogWildHeritage, thats the main reason why I choose that color.
So far from what Ive noticed, just the fender got damaged but then again, Im no certified mechanic. The fender was so pushed back the the tire rubbed. After the CBP officer and I tugged it loose I rode it slowly home and didnt feel any vibrations. Got a call from her insurance company today and she said that she did hit my bike but that there was no damage. I sent the adjuster pics and told him that as long as she agrees that she did creat contact, shes asumming fault and there for any damage, plus I have 4 officers as wittneses who detained her from leaving.

Take the bike to the dealer and get an estimate from his service and body shop.

That sucks! I lived in an apartment when my Buell Uly got backed into, but not nearly as rough as yours. He bumped it just enough to knock it over. It was under a cover so it only popped the hand cover loose and broke the clutch lever. The guy was all "I don't think I hit it. I think the wind just blew it over." He then just stood there and watched me pick it up and check it out and then got back in his truck and left. Oh well, easy and cheap fix.

Alright guys. I got my bike back from the shop. As an insurance agent I made this go faster than normal since I know what needs to be done and what Im supposed to have done. I will start a new thread regarding a little dispute on how the other parties insurance wanted to short me $1,360.00 on Loss of use. Hope this helps.
