Just maybe, could the wind have blown it over?? We had high wind gusts a while back if I remember.

Society is slowly losing it's sense of responsibility. Who knows, a soccer mom may have not wanted to tell her hubby, some other idiot may have not wanted it on their insurance, but what ever the case may be, they deserve a beating. Hell, my dad would have come back from the dead and beat my a$$ if I didn't take responsibility for something like that.

If it's somebody from work you'll know soon enough. It'll be the punk that won't look you in the eye, or "i know this from experience" somebody's kid that came to meet up with parent and decided while he was waiting to see how your bike felt to sit on. good luck with that. hate to hear things like that

Pushing it over on the right side would be a lot harder to do....most people are concerned with their pipes so I could see someone pushing it over that way to f*ck up the pipes....
Sounds to me like someone was sitting on it....you usually sit on the shifter side of the bike because of the way it leans.
If someone was hell bent on messing up your bike they would have pushed it over on the shifter and jacked that all up....that way you would have to tow it back. Still....that is no excuse...at least could have left a note with their phone number.
Hope you find out who did it.

Heres another twist to this kinda story.

A guy I rode to Sturgis with a few times came home from work and found his bike in the driveway smashed all to HELL. One of his neighbors said another neighbor did it with a sledge hammer. When the truth got out he was doing the neighbors wife while he was working nights.

Its wednesday.. Got my check in the mail from Progressive. Not bad 4 days and money in my hand to fix my bike! These guys were real good to work with. Still not happy about my bike but give me a liitle time and I'll have it back together. Some told me at work a gust of wind blew it over.... I'm not really buying that. I think someone was sitting on it and dropped it. Looking for some parts for it instead of going to the stealership for them. Save some money and upgrade my pipes.

That's what I said also. Windshield acts like a sail, gusts to 45mph, take your money and run.
