RE: My Unlucky Day
ORIGINAL: Tom in Va
Well, here is my story for today. I was at work and my live-in girl friend called and said I needed to get home now because sokmeones tractor had just rolled off a hill and crashed into the 16x20 foot building I had built toi hold my two Harleys, a 1996 1200 custom sportster and a 2003 Heritage Classic Softail. I drove home expecting the worst-a demolished building and two mangled bikes. It wasn't as bad as I thought. The tractor was still stuck in the building when I arrived. The driver of the tractor kept telling me how sorry he was and the owner of the farm was saying that if he had to he would sell his farm to pay for the damages. I slowly looked inside at my bikes and thankfully only the Heritage had damage. The front fender and molding was bent and needed to be replaced. The owner of the tractor had liability insurance and an adjuster came out to my house within two hours. About 10 feet around the corner of my building will need to be replaced and the whole thing will need to be placed back on its foundation. I sure was lucky that everything worked out okay in the end. They had to get one of those heavy duty wreckers to move the tractor out of my shed. Has any one had such and experience?

Glad no one was in the shed. Did you take any pictures.
