Don't watch if you're squeamish.

$1150 not counting the scratch on the tank from gravel picked up by tankbag before he put it back on my bike.

I thought you were bluffing on the squeamish part but  :dunno_white:

didn't see a license plate on the front, you manage to track the guy down or did he have the decency to leave a note?

He's actually a friend and co-worker.  He called me right after he pulled the truck into it's spot.  He asks, "Is your bike in the parking lot?"  I thought maybe it was stolen and he saw someone leaving with it.  I said, "yeah, why?".  "Well, I knocked it over with the company truck."  I was actually somewhat relieved.

He does feel bad about it.

I was impressed that he stopped. I was actually impressed that he even looked to see what it was. I was expecting him to back over it, and pull away without even stopping. Guess you're lucky he's your friend and was in a company vehicle! People are capable of some pretty bad responses when they think they're anonymous and won't get caught.

Hmmm... incompetent driving. Surely he saw the darn thing when he walked into the lot. Surely he checked his mirrors? Cause the way he reversed looked like he was aiming right at it.
