Holy Smokes! That's a lot to replace. Sounds like the guy not only backed over it, he dragged it forward a few times. So sorry to hear this happened to you. You must of been pissed! Hope it all works out for you.
Next time... park it next to your table.

Sorry to hear about your luck. Good luck making the repairs! And I'd definatly force the guys insurance to cover your rental bike til your bike is fixed.

it's not your fault the dumbass ran your bike over & you shouldn't have to go without because you stopped to get something to eat.

Definatly be a ***** with the insurance Co. ,They would and will stick it to you when they can!

I am really suprised that he even came in to find the owner of the bike. Most of those a@@holes would have just drove off like the guy who broke the taillight and dented the rear corner panel of my mustang about two months ago. I'm more mad that I wasn't there to catch him than I am about my cage being banged up.

I feel your pain, I really do. But don't stiff the insurance co.

This is the exact reason why insurance really doesn't work. Everyone is trying to stiff the insurance co. and in the end we all pay for it.

Good example is medicare. No wonder our health ins. is so expensive.

I think the guy coming forward at least deserves that...just get your bike back to the way it was and make sure you get the rental.

Nuff sed.

That S**KS I always worry about the same thing happening. Good luck with it. I like the pain and suffering thing, if you can't get a rental, the riding season is only so long

I'm not trying to stiff anyone. getting the parts I want is perfectly legal. I'll have to pay the difference between whats on there and what I want. Nothing wrong with that.
