Hit and run damage to a Ryker!

[Peter Aawen]

Hard to say if he KNEW he hit your Ryker, but it's a wee tad suspicious that he stopped immediately after your bike moved when it was hit at about 1:36:11, then backed up to get further over, and finally had another go, during which he fairly was obviously steering further out onto the other side of the road to avoid swinging his tail like he did on his first try.... It looks to me a LOT like he realised that he'd hit your Ryker, and that continuing would do a LOT MORE & obvious damage, likely dragging your bike out of the parking space entirely; but he decided that while he HAD to have another try at getting out without doing further damage, he also decided he didn't need to stop to check out HOW MUCH damage he'd already done, likely cos he thought nobody had noticed! :shocked:

I do hope the company makes this good for you; they pretty clearly should.... :lecturef_smilie:

As for the driver, if this is a once off, then maybe he should get to keep his job :dontknow: But if it's just another incident in an on-going saga, then maybe it's time he found another profession, or at least one involving much smaller vehicles?! :banghead:

Good Luck! :cheers:

In my opinion, it's going to be pretty hard for this guy can say he didn't know. Looks like the Ryker moved at least 6" when his truck made contact. It was on his side. And he slams on the brakes and appears to look into his left side mirror. In any case. There is no question his is the source of your damage.

He knew he hooked it, that's why he backs up and set over in my opinion! If not, he would have taken it out in the street. Good luck anyway, hope you get a new fender out of it, you should, and good job taking it to the end and keeping up with it. You are the victim here, and it should be made right in my book!
