Hard to imagine someone being that low and deliberately knocking it over.

I had a customer in the shop about 40 mins before I found the bike. I gave him a call this afternoon and asked if he noticed my bike laying on it's side. He said he didn't even see my bike at all, which is odd cause it was parked right in front of the door. I don't want to point blame on anyone and I can see how it may have been possible for him to hit it and not know. It was a little stange in how concerned he was in the cost of repairs. Other than buying a new mirror the bike seems fine. It has some scratches , but it's not a show bike and it's not for sale so who cares. I'm not so mad about the damage as I am in the fact that it happened.

Thanks to everyone that has offered parts. The damage is really not that bad and I've calmed down alot since this afternoon. It's really great to see the care and giving my HDForum friends show in a time of need.

Bad news Brian, hate to hear it.

I always try to park my machine where I can keep an eyeball on it..

Great... then I can watch it get knocked over one of these daze.

My grandFather had it in his will that one of his eyeballs would be removed
and placed in a shotGlass of Jim Beam, and set up on the FirePlace Mantle,
so he could keep a watch on us.

RIP, he died in 1958, when I was about ten years old.

I'll never forget..........
It was kinda weird, that steady green eyed stare........
for about ten minutes...........

Then, my grandMa pitched it back and poured another round for all of us,
and that was that.

Put a surveillance camera by your front dooor,
and it will never happen again....
and if it does, you can get that aWhole good.

That sux man, I should have some stock switch housings laying around if you need them. I park my bike at the front door right under the surveillance camera. Take a look around at your neighbors. There might be a camera pointed your way. Our cameras caught an arsonist down the street once. It was a drive by flare gun.

Man, I would be in murder mode for sure.

I always try to park insight but away from as many cars as possible. Last thing i want is someone trying to park in my space...

That suck in more ways than we can express. I would park my bike in a lot next to work with a camera. Almost every day I would see some one sitting on the thing. Some people have no respect for other peoples stuff.
