You said you saw the logo on his cup.  Where's the closest location from the direction he was coming from?  I'd stake that place out.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Most important is you are OK.  Sorry about the bike, aesthetically, the '97 750 is my favorite.  I would report the accident and go back and see if the bastard roles through there again and get his plate # and maybe follow him so you might discover where he lives/works.  If the law can't do anything you could fall back on Phineas Freak's plan [evil]

I've got stock front and rear turn signals.  You are welcome to them and I even have your address!  I might have a slightly rashed shift lever lying around.....

Glad to hear you are OK.  Can't believe that douche didn't stop. That is totally unforgivable.

Glad you are ok. It does suck that whoever the @#$%^  >:( is did not stop. I am sure your duc will be fine soon. I felt really bad seeing the pics with damage. Just made me imagine, how I would feel if my baby goes down.

Sorry to hear about your accident man, that sucks.
I should have a stock rearset available in a little while if you wanted to stay stock, just ordered my new rearsets today.

Unless medical bills need to be paid, I would not go that route.  If you don't need the meical coverage about all you have to gain, since there are no witnesses, is a big rate hike and, if there is a collision claim, a total loss on that, IMO, well worth the effort to repair.

Unfortunately, it's not just cagers that have this type of brainfart. I was heading to the inspection station in my van to drop it off and pick up my truck (Long story), and saw this guy on a scooter at the intersection ahead. He's stopped at the stop sign, and this is a difficult intersection as there's a good bit of traffic on the road I'm on (Raby Rd.). I see him start to go, then hesitate as I come up on him, I know he saw me, he was looking right the hell at me. When I was maybe 20' away, going 35mph, he guns his little scooter and jumps out right in front of me. I already had my foot on the brake, cause somehow I just KNEW he was gonna do something completely STUPID!!!! but I still couldn't stop in time. even though I locked up the brakes and swerved, I clipped his back wheel, and sent him flying about 20'. His helmet came off when he hit the ground, because of course he didn't have the strap fastened, and his t-shirt and shorts did nothing to help him absorb the impact when he hit the pavement.
I stopped, called 911, waited for the cops, tried to help him, but he started yelling that I hit him, I aimed for him, yada yada. I pulled his scooter over to the side of the road, and told the cops what happened. He told the cops he was sitting at the stop sign, and I swerved to the right and hit him while he was stopped!
The cops start looking at me, and one starts asking me all kinds of questions, where I was going, did I have anything to drink today (Hell NO!), and the topper, did I have anything against motorcycles?! [laugh]
It was not looking too good for me when a guy came across the road from the battery store on the corner and said he had been talking with a customer and saw the whole thing, and did the cops want a statement. After he basically repeated my story word for word, the cops did an about face, cited scooterboy for failing to yield right of way, and asked me if I wanted his info for my insurance company.
Since I was driving a diesel truck, and he didn't so much as scratch my bumper, I declined, and ten minutes later I was on my way, shaken, but not in stir!
I feel bad for scooterboy, but shit, he nearly gave me a heart attack, then almost got me arrested, so I hope he's basically healthy, and that his roadrash hurts lkike a pregnant dog.

  Unfortunately, an insurance claim is out.
My insurance company would only let me have liability coverage due to a salvage title. They would happily repair the lawn i tore to hell, but my bike is mine to deal with.

I've recieved and sent several PM's and the rebuild is getting under way. It will be far far better than before. I'm determined to make it worthy of the BOMB someday. [thumbsup]
