Don't you hate it when someone dents your tank

... and doesn't leave a note. Damn motherfuckers. At least it was only the SV650. Took it into town as it hadn't been run for a week. Parked on Willis St outside work. Hadn't noticed it until I was checking the bikes over tonight.

Hell yeah,had the same thing happen to me,got back from a movie one day,to find a large dent on the top of the tank!!

No idea how it could have happened.

No note,nothing.......

Mine definitely looks like a handlebar too. About the right height. I personally blame scooter riders. They quite often park like lunatics - just ram it in the gap. Pity I wasn't present, I would have rammed my fucking glove into the side of his marshmallow!

I remember when the car door got caught in the wind - swung into a volvo next door and left a dent. I was pissed off I didn't hold the door - but showed the kids what to do. You man up and leave a note. Got a call from the guy who really appreciated the note and insisted not to worry about it. It was his wife's run-a-bout!

Oh yeah,it could have been handle bars,where it happened there are lots of scooters,and they park really badly. I don't park there anymore..

I returned one day to find I was blocked in by two scooters,I ended up having to push the fuckin things out of the way.

Might ask crazefox to have a look if he's still repairing and repainting. Would be worth fixing as there are very few marks on the bike.

Stupid bitch parks right behind me leaving me no way out and I couldn't be fucked walking around the front and asking her to move it and i couldn't move it myself as it had steering lock. Got a mate to lift it onto a waist high stack of pallets :scooter: Ignorant fuckheads!

I worry everyday about someone scratching the Guzzi...plastic tank but still will scratch and those scooter riders are pricks. I try to park between 2 big bikes if I can.

Agreed. I've been thinking about the best way to park - if not inbetween 2 other bikes, try and park to the left (as the right side got dented). I think the right is more exposed as the left has the extra lean and wing mirror to catch / ward off a scroter from parking too close.

Next time I see one jammed next to my bike, I'm going to silently put my disk lock on their front brake!

...im more concerned about someone denting my ego and not sending me a note beforehand...

[SMOKEU]

That's why I don't leave my bike out of my sight unless it's parked in a locked garage. Too many people these days "accidentally" damage them.

Gutting and infuriating!

[mrchips]

Some scroter riders jam their pieces of shit in so hard i can't even get to my bike, mirrors constantly being bashed out of alignment + marks all over my fairings from these careless shit for brains.

I have an older second bike just for this reasona but ....... ahh fuckit, the carnage still hurts !

Thing is, these spineless little bastards do the damage & piss off before you can catch em .... kunts
