Ok, so I went to a friend of mines frat party (It was homecoming) so I took a ride up last weekend.
Well come sat night the party was rolling pretty good. I was very far from drunk, but I did have my bike parked for the night in front of the frat house. So I'm one of the very few people inside the house (most are outside) Some girl walks and says "I need to see you now" , and I heard someone say "Knocked over bike".. I go out side to see my bike, with my mirror on the back on the seat.
And some drunk blond girl balling her eyes out. Along with about 10 frat boys screaming at her. Apparently she loves bikes and wanted to sit on mine, so she helped herself, and because shes wearing a short skirt she didn't lift the leg high enough and knocked the bike over on its right side.
First things first, damage control. I look the bike over with a lighter (the only light I could get).
Broken mirror, broken front brake lever, broken turn signal, scratched on plastic, nothing deep.
Small dent and scratch on exhaust.
Girl is still crying while numerous guys ask her what the hell she was thinking/calling her a bitch ect.
I tell the guys to grab a beer and chill out. I tell the girl to relax and stop crying.
She offers to pay for everything, I tell her that my bros a mechanic, and I have enough connections in the sportbike world that I doubt I will be needing $$ from her (most expensive was the paint, but A: it already had a few scratches on that end and B: I am getting it painted this winter anyways)
The lever is $19, my friend has the same bike I do and he took his mirrors off, so I can snag one for free. The turn sig will be another $10, so it's a great annoyance, but all in all if that’s the worst my bike sees this summer I'm luckier than a few people I know.
Interesting side note is, I'm amazed I didn't flip out or even raise my voice. I mean at first I was all tweaked and stuff, but I knew that yelling and hitting things/people would not improve the situation at all.
What the hells up with that?
So yeah, my bikes grounded till friday (when the lever comes) and the ride home from the college was the slowest damn 60 miles of my life
What do you think, should I have yelled at her? Did I under react?
