i think its called no license/no insurance syndrome

personally, i couldnt drive off either-its soooooo wrong

Its a sad reflection on some in society

. . but are you really surprised? poor soul

No, im not really suprised, but im peed off.Shes just a kid, working to pay for her bike.Shes been told to report it, but as she said "whats the point" and shes right isnt she.China you are dead right about the licence/insurace thing though.

Some people are just arses.

Tell her to report it anyway - some witness may come forward.

as a fellow female rider i feel gutter for her

Kettle that's tough for your daughter to deal
with. To see the thing she treasured being
smashed up and costing a fortune to repair.

I despair sometimes don't you?

Some people need their backsides kicking

Ohhhhhh you have a bike? You may be able to help me on something!

same old same old, it COULD be a case of no insurance, but over the years I have come across this sort of thing many times and more often than not, its more a case of "its ONLY a motorbike and therefore doesnt warrant worring about"

I once nipped into a shop when on mine, so I just parked up in the gutter, as ya do, and didnt bother to lock it up, I came out of the shop to find some guy SITTING on it and pushing it down the road (only a few feet) when I "asked" him what he was doing? he replied, "oh sorry mate but its in my way I was just moving it so I can get my car in"
he couldnt understand why I was so angry, I said "how would YOU feel if it had been ME sitting in your car just to move it out of my way?"

"well thats different" he said, "it is ONLY a motorbike"
ONLY six F'ng grands worth of motorbike,
I bet his car wasnt worth more than ONE, and suppose he ahd dropped it? I am sure he wouldve come looking for me eager to pay for the damage he had caused....NOT!!
the guy doesnt know how close he came to wearing my crash hat...in a BAD way

Yesterday she parked it near the kerb as usual,then went into work.Some bar steward drove past,hit the bike, knocked it over, did serious damage and then just drove off! She phoned from work crying, she is gutted.Gonna cost loads to repair it.If i had done that, i would have shit meself and knocked on all the doors to find the owner! What is it with some people?

That's dreadful, but one good thing, she wasn't on the bike at the time

You need to report it to get an incident number for your insurance claim.

Crappy thing for someone to do tho
