Well, i came out from work today and found my kat on her side. It fell right into the edge of the curb.
I was told by a couple contractors on-site that the "wind blew it over". The wind was coming from the side of the kickstand, so it would have taken pretty much a gale-force gust to stand the bike up, and topple it over the other side.
At any rate, insurance is covering it with no rate increase. I will be speaking to an adjuster within the next day or so and get an appraisal done.
Basically the entire right side is trashed. The tank needs to be replaced, and all plastic work on the right side is cracked. The muffler is dented and scraped, handle bars bent, mirror and signal scraped, and engine case cover as well. The bike is a mess. Worst case scenario, i milk insurance for all i can and get the bike repainted, custom exhaust, etc...
Its too bad this Kat didnt land on its feet. Anyway, had to share my pain with you guys. Definitely was a bad day, but the silver lining is everything will be fixed. Hopefully its not a write-off as far as insurance is concerned.
