Hit and run - SV650.org

29-08-15, 11:08 PM

Motorbikes parked outside my house, hear the alarm going off tonight, so I look out the window and there's a car reversed out of a space and is right next to my bike with reverse lights still on, by the time I get to the door they've drove off. Back end of my bike has moved around by a foot and there's a scrape on the road where my side stand has slid. So annoyed, been looking with a torch and can't see any damage, but will see better in the morning. Managed to get the first part of the reg but that's all

As Bibs said not good and lucky it didn't go over. If you see any damage then maybe a word with neighbours to see if any had a visitor?

what a complete pita.

Harsh!

Do you think they were trying to pinch it or just carp at reversing?

Either way they deserve a shoe in the backside

A shoe in the frontside would convince them more of the error of their ways ?

Had a good luck this morning, there's a tiny scuff on the exhaust where I'm assuming the car made contact, as it wasn't there before. It's hardly noticeable, so was really lucky tbh, for me and them lol. I will still definitely be having words if I see the car here again.
There was a party going on until late last night at a house opposite, I'm guessing it was one of there guests, definitely hit it from reversing out of a space and being crap at driving, or possibly drunk..
Gave the bike a good clean and polish this evening to make her feel better and because it's in for an MOT Tuesday and I don't take any vehicles to a garage unless they're spotless as imo they are more careful if it looks mint.
So hopefully be back on it Tuesday, it expired Thursday, so atm I feel like I've lost a limb haha
