Oh man, I'm sure the person didn't mean to, accidents do happen. But hope the person comes forward or at least if anyone knows anything. Just sucks to have to deal with that afterwards.

Good luck! :)

Shit so much happened near the end of the meet! I was parked with the integras and saw the bikes parked near the fence but saw nothing suspicious. Hope this issue gets settled cause there is nothing worse then ppl being careless of other vehicles especially at a event like this! Good luck bro!

I'm sure it was an accident, it's very unfortunate situation.

Hopefully the person comes forward :)

Hey, thanks for all the support, means alot knowing this a community and not just another forum. Unfortunately, I still haven't received any new information about the incident, but I still have hope that someone who knows will still come forward. As for the bike, will start picking up parts tomorrow, as today is monday and most bike shops are closed.

seakrait 08-30-2010 06:30 PM

that sucks. what also sucks must be all the bystanders that probably saw it happen that didn't say anything then and aren't saying anything now.

like it was said earlier, dropping a bike and then picking one up after is not a subtle thing.

OP, are you going to go through ICBC?

FeistyBearH22a 08-30-2010 07:12 PM

Hopefully you find the douche bag. =( GL on your search.

suzuka84 08-30-2010 07:42 PM

price out the parts and fix it yourself, you might even want to upgrade the parts while you're at it. It doesn't make sense to go through icbc as the cost of everything will be below your deductible.

Chump move but the culprit will not come forward.

Jgresch 08-30-2010 07:50 PM

^ how do you know his deductable and cost of parts? I bet it will be far more than his deductable....

bcrdukes 08-30-2010 07:53 PM

Based on the outcome of the damage, it will cost more than the dedictible itself. The helmet is useless since it's been dropped so it has to be replaced.

To be honest, if i saw it happen I probably wouldn't have said anything either.

Not because I'm at all a douche, it's just I would assume that the bike was that persons. It would never occur to me that someone would sit on someone else's bike. That's just retarded/.

LiquidTurbo 08-30-2010 09:11 PM

Damn. Sorry to hear it happened @ an RS meet. Witnesses??

well, i'd think i'd recognize by their reactions and actions thereafter whether they were the owners or not. if they just picked the bike up and then walked away =/= owners. if they're crying over their busted fairings and dented helmet = owner. :p

I am not sure at the moment. My deductable is 300, so in the morning, I was planning to get a rough estimate on parts. I was doing some research online and it would cost me about 150 to get riding again. It's the fairings that would cost me quite a bit which I can't afford right now. It wont be pretty, but at least it'll be rideable. If it ends up over 300, then I will report it. Not sure if I have a strong case without witnesses though...

I am hoping that isnt the case. I was thinking about sending it to shoei to get it inspected to see if it is still usable.

i totally agree. jesus this is somebody's property and investment we are talking about. show some balls (assuming the perpetrator is male) and come clean. i know that if somebody touched my bike like that without my permission and damaged it, i would be out for blood.

OTG-ZR2 08-31-2010 12:41 AM

if its not yours....dont F*CKING touch it :swear:

TheSalesman 08-31-2010 12:49 AM

it wasn't parked on gravel or anything like that was it?
Is it possible that it fell over on its own and maybe someone passing by thats not even from RS picked it up for you?

My bike fell on its own when parked on ashphalt.

8thcivic 08-31-2010 12:54 AM

Sorry to hear what happened. It really pisses me off when people do this kinda shit. Even if strangers lean against my car and talk to their friends while im inside a restaurant/store eating or purchasing something. Thoes people have ZERO respect for other peoples belongings. Especially that i worked hard for my car and they dont give a rats ass. As for me, im one of thoes few guys out there (including RS members because u guys care about eachother) respect other peoples cars and belongings.

Grandmaster TSE 08-31-2010 01:56 AM

sorry to hear that
hope the person comes clean or someone that knows reveals it

ws6ta 08-31-2010 06:50 AM

ah thats bullshit man. why can't people keep their hands off of other peoples shit. lets face it the person isn't going to come forward. since this was at an RS meet everyone chip in 5 bucks and help the man get his bike fixed. how many people are on RS 5 bucks each isn't going to kill anyone and he is clearly stating he is in a position to not get his bike fixed at this time. I missed the event but I'm still in. whats the final cost to get your bike repaired?

To everyone that has said "it was just an accident" please stop.

It is not an accident to get on a motorcycle that is not yours. Similarly it would not be an accident for me to decide to open your car door, even if I "accidentally" slam it into another car.

Don't touch other people's property. Once you do, anything that results is not an accident.

If Henry can find the person that dropped it, definitely they owe him a new lid. Otherwise it is probably ok, it is not like this was a 50+ kmph impact.
