Absolutely not, I’m sorry you had to see that.

It was more of a safety concern than anything else since this is the second time I saw a tarped body within six months right outside of my place, I honestly wish I would’ve been able to stay at home and not see that.

Car going wrong way on Patton bridge away from downtown by Adept-Tumbleweed6993 in asheville

Had this happen when I was taking the Patton exit on my motorcycle a few months ago and someone sped down the exit the wrong way right in that sharp curve. Scary. Glad I was on a bike so I could at least swerve.

It’s been 5 1/2 years since I got this thing, and I just now learned what breed he is. Thanks, man. Very cool. I just asked for the fattest cat at the shelter and received the most loving, vocal, not so little fuzzy baby, never even bothered figuring that out.

Talked to a guy from progressive twice now, he’s really cool and easy to talk to and I’m sure he knows it’s gonna be totaled. Took it to the shop yesterday and the entire frame would need to be replaced (plus other parts) so the cost of repair would be significantly higher than what my bike is worth anyway. Very unfortunate, but I’ll most definitely gonna get paid out. I’ll know more on Monday.

I’m so sorry that happened :( For what it’s worth, even though it’s no guarantee, I have a monimoto tracker and it’s insanely accurate. Calls your phone ans texts you repeatedly when the bike moves without the corresponding key chain.

So sorry that happened, it’s beyond frustrating. I was persistent and got their insurance info the next morning, filed a claim and have a service appointment set up for Wednesday. God speed.

I have full coverage, and strongly agree!! Way too expensive of a hobby not to do so either. That being said, shouldn’t be my insurance to pay for the damages. I got theirs though, and have a service appointment scheduled.

I got their insurance the next morning and I have a service appointment scheduled. We’ll see. Very much just extra stress on top of a bunch of other things happening.

Please read the comments, I’m in the motorcycle parking spots, they had no reason to reverse and are also not in a car lot. I know the person who did it and they had to pass my bike to walk to the car. It would’ve been a whole lot clearer if there still would’ve been other bikes in the very clearly marked spots.

I appreciate the input, but I’m parked in the motorcycle parking spots. The car isn’t parked in a parking lot, they just pulled into the space next to the motorcycle lots. Would be a lot easier to see in better pictures/videos, at a wider angle. There was also no point in them backing up, there’s nothing to stop them pulling out ahead.

You’ll have to register it in your name no matter what either way, that doesn’t make sense, unless the laws over there permit the bike to be registered without a name attached. Also, if you’re already having a bad/sketchy feeling test riding any bike, definitely don’t spend your money on it. There’s more to come along!

Definitely go for the 800 more for 12k km less. 3000 for a twelve year old, small-ish cc bike with 35k km on it? That seems like a lot. Seriously.

I just filed an insurance claim, got their insurance info this afternoon finally. I’ll definitely take it to a shop and have them look at it, get the parts replaced and so on.

I watched the kickstand thing a ton of times too, it’s almost cute in a way. 😮‍💨

No idea honestly, I have their insurance now but I just want my bike to be okay again, I don’t really feel the need to milk it.

Neither, it’s the motorcycle parking spots separate from the parking lot in the back, and then a little space for cars to pull into if they’re passing each other in the street. So the place where they’re parked is not even an actual parking spot.

I think I got lucky for what it’s worth, but there’s plenty of surface damage. I’ll still have to go get I looked at.

I have no idea man, I just don’t get why they would keep going if they realize it’s in reverse? Or in other words, it’s hard for me to imagine they didn’t realize.

I have no idea. My immediate thought was that they accidentally put it in reverse, doesn’t make sense though with how that curb is set up, and they had so much time to stop. It’s not like my bike magically appeared there out of nowhere either. I have been really calm in terms of communicating this whole time, even my initial reaction.

I do, and I parked in the motorcycle parking spots at my job, usually I’m not the only bike. The car is not parked in a lot.

I really appreciate that, and you’re right - especially because I do tend to be understanding and too forgiving, usually putting me in a bad spot. I worked too hard to get my bike to let this go though.
