My stomach flipped when I read the title of this thread.

I'm feel gutted and angry for you, Dennis.

Al.
 
Wow, that's terrible. Sorry to hear, but be thankful you weren't on it!
 
Sorry to hear about this Anti. I am glad you are safe and good luck to a speedy recovery for your Pani. I was hit while at a traffic light a few months ago. He said the sun was in his eyes. Insurance was quick and fixed her as good as new. I hope it works out for you as quickly.
 
Sorry AntiHero for your mishap. Some people have no sense of decency. Karma will definitely kick that POS. maybe not immediately but one day. Glad you were not on the bike and "things" are replaceable. Be well.
 
Horrifying photos! That would be in my list of nightmares... Sorry for your Pani. I know you two have been through allot together. I hope you find the .... stick who can't drive or bad karma finds them!

I'm going to email the event coordinator, who has a list of all the people who attended. There's silver/grey paint on the right side fairing from the bumper, but even with all that I doubt the Menlo Park police would do any sort of cross checking or CSI work.

Menlo Park, CA. And nope--no witnesses have come forth, no suspects, nada. State Farm has been extremely responsive and the bike is now in the shop awaiting teardown to determine the extent of the damage. When I took it in the tech pointed out that adjustable stop on the lower triple was also torn off in the impact, so that will need replacement as well. Let's hope he finds nothing else wrong under the bodywork!
 
ahh good luck. i just realized how dumb my question was. if it were nj it would be too cold to have the bike out. sorry buddy i hope your bike is well soon
 
Antihero,

I've been reading this thread since you posted it and I have been quiet due to the bad language that wanted to come out of my mouth to describe the A-hole who just drove away. Your bike should be inducted into Ducati's hall of Fame! Or at least their Museum in Italy. I am sorry this happened after everything your bike went through such as the miles, heat, cold rain, snow, off road, altitude changes and made the coyotes bow down to it. Hopefully this won't happen to your "R" :)
 
thats why i park right on the sidewalk of the front door & somewhere hopefully within eye site.
 
Just got the damage report: $4700. Both fairings, front fairing, kick stand, lower triple and all the little bits that break at the clip-on level.

Looks like I'll be ordering up a mix of aftermarket and stock stuff.

Lightspeed levers coming in soon. Woodcraft Clipons will replace the stockers. Considering the three body panels I need to replace cost about the same as a full Bestem kit, I'll toss the question out to you all: what parts would you go with?

Wow, $4700 for what sounds like superficial damage. The pleasure of owning a Ducati! I'm glad there was no engine case or structural damage though.

I have only read about the Bestem CF and all has been good. But, I'm partial to the Ducati red, so my vote would be keep it stock. I was looking at the Woodcraft clip ons awhile back and like the fact that they have different sized risers. I was either going to go with a set of those or have someone cut down the DP race seat. I feel like my cog is over the dash and it's uncomfortable. I think your choice of either of those is good, they make quality products.
