Surrounded by fuckwits

**The Reibz** · 21st August 2014, 16:36

So less than 2 weeks ago I put a new fairing kit on my bike. Along with getting the tank painted and giving it a bit of a tidy up after 18 months of abuse.

To quote the Mighty Mongrel Mob "It was looking rather Sieg bro"

Today I parked it up at work in a marked car park between 2 rather large cages. I made sure I parked it right at the front of the park as I normally do, that way if some one turned into the park they would have enough time to stop once they saw that a bike was occupying it.

It was five minutes to smoko and I was just finishing up on one of the milling machines when I heard a light thud from outside the workshop. I instantly knew what it was, one of the boys walks through the door and reckons "bro some PAE fuckwit in a van just fully backed over your bike" So after a grand total of 8km my bike has gone from looking like it did above, to this...

Hardest I have ever had to restrain myself from committing serious physical violence.
Im no expert but im thinking its a write off. Pretty sure insurance won't want to replace aftermarket fairings.

Seriously fucked off

Awwwwwww, maaaaaaate.

My sincere condolences, Sir. I have no idea what this feels like, but can only imagine how fucked off you must be. I hope you get a satisfactory deal from your insurer.

Mate - now THAT sucks

**Gremlin** · 21st August 2014, 16:49

Damn that sucks... you'd only just got her shiny!

**mulletman** · 21st August 2014, 16:50

Man thats just shit ... sorry to see

**Banditbandit** · 21st August 2014, 16:53

That would piss me right off ... do you know who did it?

Insurance may pay out for after-market stuff .. mine did when I dumped the small Bandit.

**The Reibz** · 21st August 2014, 16:57

Yeah its fucken shit. Pretty attached to this bike now, don't really want to see it go to the Star one buck auctions for just minor damage I could fix up for 300 on ebay. Estimated damage of $2500 and insured value of $8000. Never made a claim in 6 years of riding but im guessing its all in his insurance companies hands. Guy from kiwibike reckons any damages over $4000 will result in a instant write off.

Still spewing. Time to plug in and relieve the stress the only way I know how...

Sadly I know how you felt. A woman knocked my then recently purchased Ducati over at work.

I thought the damage wasn't too bad but I took it to the bike shop and it rapidly amounted to thousands. make sure you haven't missed anything.
Good luck.
