my bike was on the sidewalk.
as far as i understand the cop would have had to issue me a summons if i was at any illegal fault during an accident.

also, being parked illegally shouldnt give any1 the right to damage my bike

for things i cannot fix myself i use a small motorcycle/power-sports shop..
You think ill make out better going to a dealer? i figured the guys over there would help me more with some little things here and there.. (for example powder-coating the new rearset black in order to match the other one..)
This is an important question.





thanks guys


One last thing, i got the police report today and found out that the guy driving the lawn mower IS a school employee and its looking like this claim will be with the schools insurance.. ill find out more later today
