So I come outside today, and what's happened? Some idiot hit my month-old 04F, knocked it over, and didn't leave a note. Broken mirror, broken clutch lever, broken rear fairing, and serious scratches on both sides of the main front fairing. This is basically an emotional release/pity post, so give me some sympathy. Also, if anyone wants to give me mirrors/a clutch lever/fairings, those would be appreciate too. I might be able to find the guy cuz I got a few license plate digits and the color/type of car from a couple witnesses. Seriously though, if anyone has a stock right mirror they'd be willing to let go cheap, let me know.

I'm F$%$ing PISSED.

I think I am about to replace my mirrors, I could get you my right one just pay shipping.  The only thing is that it has some scratches on the arm and casing when an idiot hit my bike. At least you got a tag number. Mine was hit 3 times, first two I didnt see and the third I ran after and what do you know they didnt have a tag.  Just pm me if you are interested in the mirror.

First...it could be worse...at least the bike was still there.

Second...an '04 model is not a month old.

Third...call your insurance.

This is covered under vandalism.

it is if you have full coverage but a lot of folks dont carry it

already called my insurance, not covered , and I meant that I bought the bike a month ago, not a month old. But come on guys, I want pity, not I've had worse experiences. Id give you guys the pity.

PS seaheifer, I'll send you a PM in a little bit.

Bummer man, that really sucks. Yeah, I don't have insurace on my bike either, so I'd be screwed if something like that happened to me. Worst case, you could make it into a naked bike, but you shouldn't be forced to.

I'd try to track the guy down without the cops and then do a little vigilante justice. You know the kind involving fingernails and pliers, or rocks and windshields if your stomach can't handle it.
Good luck 

I feel your pain.  It's happened to me twice.  First guy backed into it, shoved it 1 foot sideways without tipping it, and dented the exhaust and bent the sidestand.  Someone inside the shop I was in told me and I went outside and we came to an amicable agreement.  But another time, someone backed into it outside my place, knocked it over, and drove off.  Cracked the mirror housing and broke off a bar-end and added another scratch to the crankcase. 

Good luck fixing it!

the worst part is I do have insurance, but since I'm new and young collision insurance would've been another 3grand a year, and I couldnt pony that up. I have some info on the guy so I will definitely keep an eye out for him, and do my best. As for vigilante justice? That comes when I find his car and can't get him to pay/cop to it. Im going to call the cops tomorrow morning and file a report. We will see what happens I guess.

(I know some of you understand the "/me")


edit: I wasn't expecting the /me to actually work on the forum, haha. Nice

Wouldn't causing a similar amount of damage to his/her car be fair?    Probably even make you feel better!    Oh, but he has to fix his damage out of pocket too, or else it will just spoil the mood.  Perhaps then he would be a little more careful around other peoples property/prized posession!

Good luck with the repairs

??wasat??

cool.


btw --  sorry about your bike.   

hurting his car would be good. but it wouldn't pay for my bike.


"/me" is an IRC command that you can use to do thjings in the third person

but if you do find him and confont him about it .. he dont pay ... you toch his truck ... your the first person hes gonna name when he goes to the police station ... or worse .... you start a fight and you come out and your bike is on its center stand with no rear tire  that would be kind of funny .. that would take a whole 2 sec. if you knew the size of all the stuff sorry about the bike .. extra 3 grand to fix somthing thats not your fault ! whos your insurence company ? i have progressive .. and i was looking to go to state farm everyone was telling me it was cheaper .... they wanted 20 bucks more a month ... but i went this year with no tickets and no wreaks so i went from 76 s month to 51 i like that !

As far as the insurance, is it really that expensive with a newer bike? I have a '90 GS and it was $300 for the year (12 months) for liability, comprehensive & collision with $250 deductible, $1,000 medical payments, and road side assistance. Also, I thought with comp and collision if the bike was stolen, wrecked, or vandalised that it would be covered. It is covered right? Thanks.

I have progressive too. If I do find him, I'm going to wait a while before I touch his car as to let the suspicion drop. I live in a pretty bad area too (college student with a nice campus and poor area). Really I'm looking back on it and I'm not as torn up about it as I was a few days ago. It sucks and all, but the worst damage was aesthetic, and the worst aesthetic damage was to an $100 piece for the rear fairing that goes around the seat (cracked/broken). Most of the other plastic is scratched, but it's not cracked.

i am with pogressive as well, 310$ 100 deduc comp and colision. a year.

and it just droped 25$ more for addign my car with them

yea for that much just DIY its not that hard. then you dont have to claim it .. but i have full coverge on my bike . i dont finace anything that i cant pay full coverge on .. you never know whats gonna happen !!!!

I'm a new rider and I'm an 18 year old guy. The insurance costs!. I wish I could get full insurance for $300 a year. I'm paying $1500 without collision (though I do have a lot of medical coverage, just in case something happens).
