Ok some replies,
I've have had anger problems in the past and have been working hard the last few years on control how I react to things, so this was a darn good test lol.
The old guy just didn't care. I had to go into the restaurant and ask him to come outside. He just didn't care. He said things besides, .... happens, like whats the big deal and no ones dead. An apology would have been nice. Cops just could not believe the guys attitude.
He was given a ticket and then the old guy got upset. He wanted me to get a ticket for where I was parked. Cop refused. My insurance company says even if you park illegally in Florida. The person who hits you is 100 percent at fault. $500.00 deductible is a bitch but I hope to get that back in time.
Now I had the OK from the Mayor to the meter company to park there. Parking in our town is hard to come by. Was it the best place to park? no. However the video does not really show how much room his parking spot has before it gets near the bike.
Parking on the sidewalk is out of the question.
Don't know the cost of damage but it's a lot of damage for just a tip over. Had it towed because the handlebar was bent down.
Everything is fixable, just a bitch as we all love our bikes and keep them so clean and cared for then someone comes and just doesn't care about your property.
Only real bummer is I loved riding to work. Helps clear the mind and the weather is perfect.
(oh video if from my surveillance cameras)
