What?!?! Was it Muni, or a different carrier?

Oops, I should also say that I'm sorry to hear. That is terrible news.

Hey Domer didn't you have the enlightening thread awhile ago about your spark plug being broken off by a crack head to break windows? Man sounds like luck is going bad over there for you. Hope your bike is not too bad and that they fix it for you or give you a huge check. Good Luck on it. Eric

I think it was a crack head who used it to smoke crack.

Oh $hit.
I'm sorry to hear about your bike man.
Plowed by a bus implies the bus didn't try to stop or slow.
How did this happen?

You should move! No state tax in Texas!

Terrible news. Sorry to hear this. Hope it works out.

domer · « **Reply #9 on:** May 06, 2011, 11:27:48 AM »

well so far so good... well as good as it can be $:-\$ bars are shot, as are the brake lever, mirror, #$%*ING PERFECT FINNED POINTS COVER, cracked side cover, gashed carpy seat, busted blinkers, gashed up kerker, bent foot peg, oh and lets not forget my pride...

and a full tank of gas.

luckily (i hope) it was one of the larger tour bus companys here in sf (grayline) #$%*in bus driver didnt even know he hit it, but one of my co-workers did! so we'll see how this goes...

between crackheads and tour buses, texas is sounding mighty nice about now...

Hope your coworker got enough info to be able to file some sort of claim against them.
sucks....they better make it right.

grumpy · « **Reply #11 on:** May 06, 2011, 12:50:37 PM »

FUQ!!!!!!!!
man, that really sucks.

So your $25,000 full custom show bike that you just yesterday got back from the builder in Japan was wiped out?
Or was it $30,000? 35?
Hope they do you right. Don't take a lowball B.S. settlement offer.

fatmatt650 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 07, 2011, 09:23:46 AM »

Fuggin weak dude! You had that thing sparkling too. I'll be happy to right you up an estimate on that super rare, custom $45,000 show bike for the insurance company.

Greggo · « **Reply #13 on:** May 07, 2011, 11:37:04 AM »

Weak sauce man...very sorry to hear this. At least you weren't on the bike when it got mowed down though! Now it's time to work on that 750!

mjstone · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2011, 12:01:40 PM »

Man that really sucks, domer! I drive a school bus. Bus drivers are professionals, there is no excuse for that kind of driving. They not only should pay for your $60,000 show bike, but should also fire his ass.

zanorak · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2011, 12:32:22 PM »

I bet they pay out right away after what happened with that tour bus a couple months ago. Just suggest you'll call the news if they waffle.

aww man stuff like this makes me sad. sorry to hear. dont forget to add the the mona lisa and statue of david in the saddle bags.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #17 on:** May 07, 2011, 06:25:31 PM »

Is this an accident thread or an auction, that poor $100,00 dollar bike will never be the same......

TwoTired · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2011, 09:08:02 PM »

What?!?!? Weren't you borrowing Mike's Million dollar CB at the time o the accident?

Sorry to hear about the damage.

Then again, being #*$@'ed has an appeal all its own, in the proper setting.

Cheers,

Suck Fest, worst that has happened to me here ( living in SF ) is someone pulled my fuel lines and stole my last one gallon of paycheck, ahem gas. that is to my bike, my old car had been broken into a few times.

mickey6 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2011, 11:20:30 PM »

sorry man. Get the liner to pay up and move! between the crackheads and busses I'd get the hell out of there.
BTW loved the craigslist rant

bikerbart · « **Reply #21 on:** May 07, 2011, 11:35:33 PM »

Yeah,but its San fransisco. :-*I'd give my left nut to live in san fran.

Hush · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2011, 12:34:30 AM »

Jezz what bad luck, how many delivery mileage first off the production line K0's could possibly get hit by a bus, guess that million dollar offer from Saudi Arabia is off the table now!

I've got a set of new tarozzi rearsets if you're interested. I haven't put them on yet. I intend to, but right now I need $$ to finish up this motor.

grats on the check. sorry this happened in the first place though.

domer · « **Reply #25 on:** May 26, 2011, 09:03:56 AM »

damn... just dropped the $$$ to fastfromthepast... and dime city and charlies place. not much left to buy, cause damn 1200 can go quick! thanks for the offer though

lets see.... tarozzi rearsets (folding, knurled), black clubmans (couldnt justify $200+ for the tomaselli's again, not sure im ready for clip ons) mini blinkers (to replace the horrible plastic ebay ones) all the basics, grips throttle tube and such.... i figured id give dime citys oval bar end mirrors a shot... couldnt find a pic of anything similar on clubmans, so we'll see if they'll cut it. i know im missing something here
still gotta get stainless braided brake lines, fork boots, exhaust gaskets and if there is enough left over a hondaman ignition

oh and i managed to get the father in law a kindle for fathers day, then i said f' it and bought my mom one too (b-day is tomorrow) not to mention a fat bag of...

slingshot cycles for the brake lines all the way. but i'm sure you already knew that, and that sohc members get a discount.

I'm curious to see how those mirrors work out. my buddy is going to need some.

HA! I don't think that was Danny. Must have been another victim of the crackhead crack lust!

domer · « **Reply #34 on:** May 27, 2011, 11:21:03 AM »

Nope, wasnt me that wrote the CL post, but it sure was funny.... first time i heard of them using a spark plug as a crack pipe!

and im trying to use slingshot for the brake lines, but if his sight doesnt pop back up in the next few days im gonna have toi explore other option! im a little impatient
