TLEJ Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Well, I was saving up to get a motorcycle for the longest time. I finally saved up $2,000, and went searching for one. I knew I wasn't going to find much, but I was wrong. I ended up finding a guy who wanted to help me out, and sold me a very nice 02 CBR F4i.. the paint was rough, and it needed a little work, but I was ok with that. I spent my final bucks on the insurance/registration, and then began working on it. I painted it, and put atl east 3 weeks work into the electrical system and got everything working perfectly on it. My birthday was today, and I went out to eat with my mother, and while eating, we got a call from a neighbor saying my bike had been hit. (His car also got side swiped)... I returned home, to find my bike had been flung about 15 yards down the street, pretty much totaled. Frame bent up, and almost everything broken. The police were already there, and there wasn't much they could do... My bike had leaked oil everywhere, (crack in the tank) ... so they called a firetruck out to put down some oil-dry, and the police was about to leave... I was looking around in the yard when I found part of the car that had hit us. It was the LOGO.. a Ford logo still attached to a small part of the body of the car. The car was silver, and the size of the logo and positioning led me to believe it was a Taurus.. I showed the police and he said was excited about it. He ended up keeping it, and said they were looking and would let us know if they found anything out.. Once everyone left, I walked around my neighborhood (~5 miles probably) looking everywhere for a silver ford.. I didn't find anything... Now it's starting to hit me.. I just lost my dream bike.. Any suggestions on what to do now? .... (Yes, the passenger peg is in my yoshi pipe..) :/ If you know of anything I can do, please let me know.. Thank you for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Will your insurance cover it? They should be able to as long as you didn't have liability only. Really sorry to hear about your bike though man...at least no one was hurt. Good luck man!

Robert8252 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Really sucks. But always get full coverage. You never know. I hope they find the people and it works out for you. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLEJ Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Here's some pictures of the parts I've found so far of the car that hit us. Looks like a driver side mirror (Makes sense from the angle it got hit) If anyone can identify what model ford this was, it'd be great (maybe)... Logo pics on the way.

Exerstine Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Damn dude that sucks i know how it feels, i had my camaros engine completely rebuilt and i was driving it to work and some asshole didn't yield for a left turn and hit a car causing that car to hit me... luckily i had uninsured motorist coverage... still all that work i put into that thing and it was gone in the blink of an eye.. i hope they find the asshole and you can file a civil lawsuit against him/her so you can get another sweet bike...

Exerstine Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 If they do catch the person responsible then file that civil suit and you should be alright they will learn not to hit shit and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 That not a mirror from a Taurus. I know it's mangled but the shape isn't right. You don't have a pic of the emblem and grill do you? 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
