motorman587 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 While we were giving out speed awards, yes the once that most of you do not like , I had to use the bathroom, thinking that a bank would be a safe place, and the bankers like it when we hang out there I parked my motor facing out, walked in. As I opened the door to walk out to leave a young lady on the cell phone, crying, stated she had hit my bike. As I look up I see motor #692 on it's side and the windshield and top fairing against a car. Trying to be postive, I said, "Not a big deal". Had to wait for a camera so 692 sat there for a few mintures or motors came by to help pick it up. Hurt to see it there like that. Once we lifed it saw the damage. The windshield frame had been bent down a few inches. Windshiled scratched, and fairing from the inside damaged, cracked. Side stand broken, otherwise ok. Rode it back to the station. I pretty sure that the city will sell it as "is". Have to get a quote for risk management, tomorrow. PRC-My other windshield is ok that I am going to give you. Had taken it off, from the other ride the other day. PS, We should be getting our new motors in about 3 weeks. I am on the spare. Yes, she was ticketed. Link to comment
BFish Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 PS, " .... Yes, she was ticketed." good! and sorry to hear of the mishap. glad you weren't on it at the time. Link to comment
motorman587 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 I glad she stayed at scene. She could of easy, just left and there would've been nothing I could've done, unless a witness step forward. And while we were there, nobody came up and stated, "Hey, I saw her back into your bike". So, I pretty sure she could've made a clean get away. Glad for the honesty. Link to comment
Carnadero Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Had to wait for a camera so 692 sat there for a few mintures or motors came by to help pick it up. Yes, she was ticketed. Ticketed? What exactly happened? Link to comment
motorman587 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 She backed her vehicle into my motorcycle which caused my motorcycle to hit a car, which caused damage to motor and car. I guess it would help to give the whole story. Sorry Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 But was she crying on the cell phone before, after, or during the act of backing over your scooter? And I'll echo the previous comment ... just glad to hear you were on the scoot when she tried to run it over. Link to comment
SageRider Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Glad no one was hurt. Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Glad for the honesty. Which, unfortunately, seems to be so rare these days I have had my car whacked 4 times over the past 3 years now, everytime in parking lots. Not ONCE did they leave their address, whereas I would not even THINK about not doing so. Living on a island WITHOUT other people gets more attractive every day as far as I am concerned....

tallman Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 John, Glad to hear you're ok, and the real story. We heard it was the result of curb jumping. Just kidding. If banks were safe they wouldn't need guards. Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Living on a island WITHOUT other people gets more attractive every day as far as I am concerned.... So long as someone installs some nice roads for me to ride before they leave my island. Link to comment
PRC Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 PRC-My other windshield is ok that I am going to give you. Had taken it off, from the other ride the other day. That wasn't even on my mind when you called out the crash.....was worried that you were hurt (all that heavy breathing), and you wouldn't answer your phone. Was on a vehicle recovery, so I couldn't get over there. All I could see is a long rehab like mine. Glad you're fine. Link to comment
casticus Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Man that sucks...I am sure the spare is a spare for a reason... Good to hear that you weren't on it when it got "whacked". We lost 2 cruisers Saturday in the blizzard and another last night in the aftermath...Temps are still below 20 degrees all day and the roads are still white no matter how much plowing they do. I am down 5 cars (two from two seperate wrecks a couple of weeks ago) and wondering when the salt is going to start working. Does your motor vehicle code allow for ticketing on private property? Ours doesn't we have to resort to the city ordinances and that only allows things like OWI, reckless, carless, and surprisngly unsafe backing.... Link to comment
USAF1 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Been there.....done that!! Am glad you weren't on it too!! Sorta gives you a good tug on the heart strings doesn't it? Pat Link to comment

Fasterpill Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Seems to me that's a bit like losing a family member. Condolences. So... are you going to buy it or is that insider trading? Link to comment
BULLman Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Glad you're okay Little worried by the title Soon you will have the ride Link to comment
motorman587 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Pete, You are talking about todays crash, had another incident yesterday which is this post. Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Aha, found it!! It sure looks to me like you need a few "days on the beach". We'll be happy to provide you lodging, but I'm sure you'll understand if I do NOT offer to loan you MY bike! Seriously, I'm VERY glad you're (relatively! ) okay after both incidents, but you can just stop the shenannigans now . . . seriously. Good LEO's are SO hard to find these days!! Link to comment
SageRider Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ... Good LEO's are SO hard to find these days!! No they're not!. Look at the evidence! People seem to have no problem at all bumping into John anytime they choose. Link to comment

People seem to have no problem at all bumping into John anytime they choose. Little did SageRider know, at the time, how true this statement would turn out to be. Link to comment
