Nightmare in Laramie

[Texas TC]

Your detailed account of the incident was excellent, allowed the reader to visualize the events as they unfolded. What a nightmare. Sorry for your loss of sleep and hope the damages are minimal or nonexistant.

Am I the only rider that never parks my motorcycle on the centerstand? I guess it is from those 10 Harleys I had that only had sidestands but I only use a centerstand on any of the three Wing products that I have owned to service the engine or for other repairs. I always felt that a bike falling off the sidestand would cause much less damage than falling from the centerstand. Just a thought.

Miles, i'm sorry to hear about this, hopefully it is just tupperware and 2 crash bars.

Regretfully, you just have to grab the ball and punt, no matter how many scenarios you play through your head, you just have to move forward. Don't beat yourself on the "what ifs" , Sh!t happens.

So sorry, but at least your not hurt and she did stay to contact you. You could have found out in the morning, strolling out to a motorcycle laying sideways in the parking lot.

Miles,

So sorry to hear about your nightmare! I hope everything works out okay. Please keep us posted!

I have had nothing but good experiences with USAA. Hopefully, they will be as good to you as they were to me.

Now you don't have to worry about soft paint any more. Insist that they repaint the entire bike because you're not going to deal with mismatched paint on a 2013 motorcycle.

Get it painted correctly this time and you'll be one of the lucky few with no problems.

also, feel fortunate that you can ride out of Laramie. I can't think of a lot of places I would less like to be stranded.

Miles, Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope the rest of the your ride home is uneventful. Get us an update when you can.

USAA insurance is excellent insurance, and you should have no problem collecting on this. Unfortunately for me they do not insure motorcycles, but they are partnered up with Progressive who has given excellent service as well. Good luck with your nightmare.

Very sorry to hear of the nightmare you had to endure. I can relate to the call about a vehicle being damaged while sitting in a hotel parking lot. I had a chevy 3500 dually that some drunk parking lot racer smacked and knocked over the parking curb about 15' into the lawn. How fast do you think he was going...l
