I got hit.....AGAIN
« on: August 26, 2016, 10:55:05 AM »
ok...
so at this point i'm thinking i may just write a book about "dealing with insurance companies in Portland and the #$%*y drivers that go with it" so no less then 24 hours after i wrote my last post about being backed into.. I was backed into again! this time i was at the gym and someone found me and asked "do you have a motorcycle outside?" Yes... he starts to talk and i stop him and just say don't tell me it was hit.. all he says is sorry. however this time i come out and the bike is on the ground with oil everywhere, my heart sinks and i look around for someone that hit it.... NO ONE, then i'm mad but no less then a second later I remember I took a picture of the cars license plat that was parked beside me! now i'm thinking F this persons going down haha
i call the cops and start to file a hit in run... so heres Malcolm's 2nd tip on dealing with people and insuring your bike. ALWAYS TAKE A PHOTO OF THE CAR YOUR PARKED BY.

1. I always leave lots of room between my bike and a car so this is not the reason
2. Yes theres not a ton of "damage" but just the dent on the tank would cost me about 1k to replace.

Any chance CCTV may have picked something up?

Your bike is such a beautiful distraction.  Attracts cagers like moth to a flame.

Maybe you should put that thing high up on a shelf to admire and go buy a beater/fixer to ride around.  ;) Normally I would say you've got enough insurance claims going you ought to be able to afford a pretty nice replacement but you have a lot of time in that machine that cannot be paid out for buy insurance money. Dual drive chains? Probably a one-off tank? Wood work cafe seat? I wouldn't daily it. Daily something that can be replaced easy.

I must've got that from my step father he was always pulling crap like that on me.

Step dad, "Hey hand me that left monkey wrench, not the right."

Me, "wait, wuh!?"

Looks like you need to steer clear of the four wheelers. Better start taking your bike to the track!  8)

Hope they catch the ba$t@rd!

Only fender benders I got into occurred when I was stone cold sober.  Potheads are sometimes reported to be the safer driver haha, something about being paranoid and overly cautious!  Less likely to road rage too.

I would agree with the road rage but disagree about being good drivers. When it's legal people aren't worried about being pulled over, however they are just not all there all the time. Who knows we all sometimes forget our brains at the door.

Washington has done pretty good about encouraging people to stay on the couch after gettin stoned.  No one wants a D.U.High.  The $5000 ticket would buy a lotta weed.

About 15 years ago I had a mate Andrew with a Kawasaki z100J. it must have been about his 5th or 6th bike but on it he got taken out so many times by cars, both parked and while riding, that we gave the bike the nickname "KDM" which stood for Kawasaki Death Machine.

Andrew isn't particularly superstitious but eventually he realised that his life was possibly in danger so he gave up on it and stripped the KDM down. He sold the parts to people in need all over the country, trying to make sure that those parts never get together again to make a whole bike.
