So, while I'm working out a titling issue I had to keep my bike somewhere since I live in an apartment complex and the managers don't want unregistered vehicles on the lot. I decided on a friends house since it's out in the country-side as it serves double...my bike stays somewhere inside...and I get to go ride the twisties since there are no police officers out there. Last night when me and him came back from riding said twisties his father asked him how much longer the bike was going to be there...long story short they were going to clean out the garage so they can start parking the cars inside.
Him and his father told me that it was alright for that night but that afterwards I'd have to park it outside. No problem I thought...I'll just bring the cover tomorrow and park it in the driveway/next to the sidewalk. Around 11PM at night he texts me and asks if he can sleep over at my apartment because he got into an argument with his parents and he just doesn't want to be there. He comes and we hang out for a little but then he decides to go home.
This afternoon I get the motorcycle cover and start driving down to cover my bike and mess with my A/F screws and carbs overall to try and get the bike to idle properly. When I get there this morning my bike is out by the curb and I see pieces of my turn signal on the ground. I get closer and the turn signal is off, my pipe is messed up, my mirror is scratched, my upper stay bracket (headlight bracket) is bent out of shape, and my right fairing has several new cracks in it along with cracks from before that have become quite a bit larger. Oh, and the awesomest part, the point where the cable comes out of the front brake reservoir is leaking when I press the brake lever. Oh, another awesome part is that one part of the bike (the place where the fairing scratches are ) has tons of spraypaint on it...so the 3 days I spent painting my fairings an awesome black and red now looks like a monkey
Long story short, "friend" won't admit to it, neighbors all tell me they heard a crack and then people arguing in Spanish last night around 10PM (an hour before he called me). Called the police, but they said there isn't really anything they can do. Bike isn't insured yet as it's not titled yet so I'm pretty much screwed. Have no money and at this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Damaged:
-Right turn signal
-Windscreen cracked in 4 peices
-Right fairing has 5-6 cracks 3 of which are 5-7 inches long
-Dents/gashes/scratches in Vance&Hines Muffler
-Upper stay bracket messed up (funny because I had just installed a new one)
I'm honestly thinking about parting it out. I was going to have some money soon that MIGHT'VE been enough to register/insure/tag it however I don't have enough to fix it AND get it legal.
Well, that's the end of my vent.
