Sue? For what? Damage to your property? Isn't that what insurance is for? It sucks. Really it does, but just have them fix the bike back to mint condition.

This is a sue happy society but in his case depending on his circumstances, he could be entitiled to quite a sum of money. I'm not a lawyer (but I play one on TV - LOL j/k) but I have been to court quite a few times and learned from other cases.

Factors to consider would be if the bike is his primary means of transportation. He could start off with garnished work wages and work up to mental factors - stress, distress, anguish - whatever a lawyer dreams up.

I dont want to get into a lot of the different scenarios but you cant just sue both in the same trial. This would likely be a lengthy process as you would have to weigh in if its worth your time and money to persue court caeses against two different people. Keep in mind that tow companies have their own insurance so it would be possible to reach a settlement without a hassle.

Yes, your insurance covers your bike but they will try and establish "blame" as they dont want to shell out money for something that could be paid either by the other guy's insurance or the tow company.

In the end the guy most out by this process is you. Someone's insurance is paying for it but its your time out of a bike.

Sorry to hear about this...I don't think I would have been as nice as you were to the guy. I definetly would not call a tow company to transport a bike.

you should have done equal damage to his car and called it even

then used a good excuse like, "that windshield looked at me wrong"

 

[kidmoua]

daymn...got me all worked up just reading your post

 

[EuniceEstelle]

wow that is terrible.

and as for where you were parked..i dont think it should change the fact that he knocked your bike over on purpose.. like 'trenton' said, if your car is just parked in the middle of the intersection, someone can't just come and destroy your car. hopefully this whole case works out in your favor.

 

[darwin316]

you should claim it with your insurance company... what the guy did was vandalism and should be coverd by your comp without your insurance going up. Some asshat keyed my car and my insurance covered it completely with my zero deductible and my insurance didn't go up. You just gotta pay the deductible if you dont have zero deductible.

or better yet, hire a lawyer.

 

[darwin316]

btw, I could relate with having a brand new bike laid down. I parked my one month old 1000rr at the end of a parallel parking zone with the marked lines. Well, this lady backed her car into my bike and caused about $2300 in damage. She didn't have insurance so my insurance covered it under "uniinsured motorist" and they sued her to get their money back.

 

[teleinfoncarr]

horrible that guy was f'ed up he could go ask some one to move it for his old a22 i am pissed just reading about it i cant imagin what you went through

 

[05'600RR]

That is just mind boggling...they could have just move their car to let the passenger out. He'd rather spend the time to get out, walk around his car and push your bike over so his passenger door could open all the way?????? What kind of logic is that? Sorry about your situation, good luck.

 

[tpacbrr]

WTF someone needs to die

 

[600AARRR]

How Crapy Is That? That A-hole Would Have Vanished Off Of The Planet And His Car Would Have Been Pushed Off A Cliff And Landed In The Molten Pits Of Hell! Good Luck With Everything.

 

[alexm]

Just when you think you heard it all... It's unbalivable how dumb some people can be. I hope your bike gets repaired and back to new status ASAP!

Please keep us updated...

 

[rocketscience]

Push for a new bike kid!! That thing is tainted!! It has bad luck running through it's lines instead of oil. Next thing you know, there's gonna be some Maximum Overdrive $hit going on and you'll have to call Mr. Sheen to exorcise the devil from that stanic thing.. Sorry. I think I'm hungry. I better go eat something.

 

[Ttown rocket]

I can not fathom the logic beyond this guy laying your bike down "gently"....What the hell was he thinking??? And the cops did nothing...you must explain why??? what did they say regarding him lawfully destroying your property....doesn't make sense.

I can relate, I had just gotten my BMW and had it about 6 hours when one of my neighbors decided to kick it and leave a huge dent in the passanger door, called the popo and after a long process the neighbor had to pay for the repair...long story.

Good job keeping your cool, I've learned thats the way to go from the before mentioned story...but I know how pissed you must have been.

Good luck with everything man & keep us posted!

my week old 06 600rr DOWN!!! ON PURPOSE!!!


wish I had pics to show you guys, but its at south bound honda sitting until my great customer's insurance decides to pay. Long long long story short, I was at work when one of my co workers says in horror...."you better go check your bike, somebody just knocked it over on purpose!" So I look outside and I see an older gentleman trying to pick it up!!! So I run outside as fast as I can...and ask "what the hell are you doing?" He said "I laid your bike down for you gently because I couldnt get my passenger out of my car!!!" WTF!!! So the cops come...and well do nothing, which I really didnt expect them to. They never do....it really pisses me off because I am going to school to be one So I get his insurance info and look over my bike...almost every fairing is badly bruised on the right side...and on the left there (was) a large scratch from him hitting his door into it repeatedly. So I call honda riders club of america...and get a free tow (not saying a name) because I am going to sue them. I talk to the guy and asked him if he had ever towed a bike...he said "well a couple...mostly harleys though." So I help him get it onto the bed, because it wouldnt run (probably a tip sensor) and it was leaking gas. So he takes off, and says it would be stored over night in their garage and it would be taken to SBH tomorrow...because they were not open on monday. I thought nothing of it. I call Honda in the morning and asked them if they had received it...they said no but were expecting it at any time. So I decided to call later that afternoon on my break. I asked how it was and he said that he thought the damage would be worse but it still is quite bad for a brand new bike. He then went over the damage that he saw "oh fairings are going to have to be replaced, the handle bars, and well your foot peg is broken!" I thought to myself "foot peg? hmmm maybe I just overlooked it." I said that I would be in after work to sign some papers and show the damage to my father. We went straight there and I went to the garage...I almost cried the tow truck company dropped it on the other side (left side) thats where the broken footpeg came from Now almost every single fairing has to be replaced on my BRAND NEW bike...she only has 377 miles Any suggestions on what I should do? Sorry about the grammar, I get tired of typing in a matter of seconds haha.

thank you,

Ryan

Sorry to hear about your bike man. I don't think I'll be parking near any cars any time soon after reading this. Don't ever let anyone else transport your bike. Soomething always happens to it. I'm pretty sure the only thing you can do is take them both to small claims court. Good luck man. Pictures and keep us posted! Or maybe you or a lawyer could talk them into a settelment. What does your insurance company want to do?

 

[td_600rr]

Man sorry about your luck, I hope you get everything worked out and back riding soon. Damn you should have rode with the tow truck guy to make sure everything would be handled the right way. Good luck

 

[Schwing]

That's so ridiculous. Why didn't the police do anything? It's intentional damage to your vehicle. I'll never cease to be amazed by the amount of asshats who make it alive in this world every day. Good luck with everything.

 

[Leb_CRX]

wow, this is hte most f'up story I have ever heard

I hope everything wokrs out alright, keep us posted

I just don't get it...there has to be something missing to this story.

Even somebody with the LEAST common sense wouldn't do this....I gotta wonder if there was a part of this story left out.

And why wouldn't the cops do anything about this????


If this is all to the story then that guy has to be the biggest idiot in the world.

It will matter where he was parked because if you parking in a firelane and a fire broke out the fire dept. would be in there right to plow the thing over.

You and me are equally vexed.... I mean an old man lying a (360?) lb bike down.
