Default Saw a brand new Street Bob

Take out 4 other bikes in a HD parking lot today. A lady just bought the 07 Street Bob last night, rode it last night and this morning. I guess when she was trying to leave out of the parking lot, as she was turning left lost control and hit bikes across from her...took em all out!!! And her bike as well....She has alittle injuries and sore as hell...I guess through the turn she applied alot of gas, a couple of the bikes really messed up are baggers....pounding out fenders and bending bars and trying to make them drivable...

It is unknown how much experence she has....but, I guess some of the folks that had their bikes damaged really laid into her and her husband verbally and one of the other wives was about ready to beat some ***...Her brand new bike, bars bent pretty bad, forks bent back lots of dings and knicks....

Feel bad for her and the ones that had their bikes messed up but, glad it was not mine!!! I do not know how the hell I would have handled myself!!! after I knew she was alright anyway

That has got to be the worst feeling in the world, glad she was okay. I am sure she learned her lesson. Sucks for the riders as well b/c you know they wanted to pound her @$$ into the pavement.

Sounds to me like she picked up a memorable riding experience right then and there...and her insurance will be picking up a hefty repair bill.

I head two different stories about here experience riding. One guy said she had been riding for years and this was a new bike but she knew how to ride. Another guy said she just got this bike and started riding. Doesn't really matter...either way she really did a number on these bikes. I have no idea how anyone could do that much damange at a low speed. I mean it was unreal....she had to have been blasting thru and lost control....just too much damage for a low speed collision.

Glad nobody was hurt. After all, bikes are just alot of rattlin metal that can be fixed, we on the otherhand aren't as resilient.
