Glad you're OK. I would call the Mercedes dealers and body shops in the area let them know what this POS did and ask them to contact the police if someone orders the parts/mirror for that model. It's too bad the internet makes it so easy to shop outside your area.

Bust that POS !

Thanks for your messages. Unfortunately, I was too shaken in the moments immediately after the incident that I didn't think to chase the guy or get his license plate details. Today I feel lucky.

Glad to hear you are ok and as everyone said the bike can be fixed. Also glad to hear you got back out there and rode.
