So as I'm walking past the receptionist this afternoon on my way outta work, she looks at me real sad and says "DB is waiting in the parking lot for you". I'm like,"whats up?" then it hits me, my bike.

Apparently DB forgot he was parked next to my bike, backed into it and then drove forward, knocking it down on one side, then flopping it over onto the other. Both right and left foot pegs got snapped off! Incredibly, the only other damage I could find were some scratches on the pipe and the left bar end mirror. Being a dumbass myself I throw my helmet at the building and pop the shield out. I switch the rear pegs to the front and take it around the parking lot to make sure everything’s OK. I hear a rattle in the front and get down to have a look, continuing the dumbass theme I burn a big hole in my 2 week old Joe Rocket jacket on the headers.

DB was stand up about it though; he got right on the phone to Harley dealers and ordered me replacement pegs. Kinda hard to be mad at him since my own stupid reactions will end up costing me more than the pegs!
 
feel for you mate... seems though you did more $$$ damage yourself than DB.

good that he waited around to tell you. we have had cars back into other cars in our parking bay and not tell anyone. had one guy back into mine and good for him he came and buzzed me to let me know.

hope its all fixed fast.
 
It's cool that he waited around since he could of easily said screw it i'm outta here like most people would do now days. Can't blame you for getting angry though !
 
if it makes you feel better, i hit a patch of sand in the middle of a turn at 30mph on monday. slid right into a curb :( i had to order 2 new rims, a new drive sprocket, mirrors, levers, foot pegs(all 4),and i might need new forks. my plastics are all scratched up, but they can wait till i have more money lol
 
oh man! Season's just started and guys are dropping like flys! No good! Phil - I'm glad you're alright. Hopefully you'll have her back on the road soon.
