Not happy.

Sorry to hear stupid self intitlled people!
A motorcycle cover not only protects from rain but probably would have kept this from happening
Good luck with financial endeavors

I took the cover advice to heart a month ago and spent a paltry 20$CDN (less than 16$US) for a cover. No longer find the following when I get back to my bike:

• birdsh1t
• Dust
• kill switch moved
• and so on...

thanks to those who recommended this, it really seems it takes a lot more courage to pull off the cover and be stupid than just be stupid

That Pisces me off.Just another person who feels motorcycles mean nothing .They claim they don't see us on roadways an unrespectfully sit touch etc. I hope you get financially covered promptly .good luck

I missed the point where the police will " follow up " if she does not pay??? I don't know how these things work in your country, but here there is an accident report and the insurance companies " follow up " on these events. Hope it works out for you !!!

This isn't considered an "accident" in policing circles. Two parked vehicles. It is however the criminal offence of mischief to property (CDN Terminology), however the legal principles are the same as if the same stupid person sat on a piece of art (motorcycle) and it tipped over into a parked vehicle or a window etc. Stupid is criminal liable for the damage. The police will follow up if she doesn't make the victim's happy (bike and car owner), they can charge her criminally and make the repair costs part of the criminal restitution.

Exactly. Her vehicle insurance won't cover her as it had nothing to do with her car. this comes out of her pocket.

Just an update.... The woman rang me today and was very apologetic and embarrassed (rightly so too. ) She has said she will obviously cover cost of all repairs.

That is good to hear !. It always P$$es me off to have anyone touch my bike without express permission.Knocking it over would take a lot to maintain control. Happy that she sobered up and is going to cover the damage though..

Most edifying to know that members of this forum have never been drunk and behaved foolishly.
