Default my bike fell over!!! =(

yeah so last saturday my friend reversed into my bike knocking it over. i dont think it would have been that bad accept that her went against the side stand making it hit more on top of the bike.

-tank dented, scratched
-pazzo clutch lever scratched
-carbon exhaust scratched
-tail fairing cracked to ****
-left grip is toast
-left mirror also toast

so sad... about $1650 in parts

no hes not going through insurance as he allready has 4 accidents in the recient years. but he is paying for it. i just wont have my bike for a few weeks.

Too bad...make your friend pay!

I don't care if he has a suspended license....make sure you sue him!!!!

Forget your friend...it's all about you!

after my accident my bike has fallen at least 3 times due to hot pavement...I look at it...and think "[freak] it, the bike has paid for its self 10x over". Pick it up and go on my way.
I don't know how i would feel if it was new, probably would go nuts, even more so if someone backed over it.

800lbs bike =\

To me that is inexcusable...

The lack of respect for surroundings makes me think she needs to find a new line of work or at the very least a new mode of transportation.

Name of said friend? Assuming Todd or Chad, perhaps phillip

Thats a legit friend though, if he pulls through keep him close.

I already dropped my 08 ninja 250 when I was parking in front of a gas station. I kicked the kickstand out but didn't look down, unfortunately I didn't notice that I hadn't kicked it out enough and that it had sprung back up.

Well I go to lean the bike over and realized the bike wasn't stopping but it was too late and leaned over too far to stop the fall. Luckily I went down with the bike and it landed on me. It actually didn't break or scratch anything on the bike because I broke its fall. The only thing hurt was my pride because I looked like a dumbass.

</TD></TR></TABLE>Pretty good. I ride it everywhere. Whenever I go someplace where there are a bunch of bikes everyone wants to see mine because they can't believe it's a 250. But I'm getting tired of hearing "you need to do something about that rear fender."
