So last night my bike was pushed over while parked in Brisbane :eek
One of the youths (16 y/o) that are regularly committing minor crime in the area pushed my bike over with force leaving it on the side with both wheels in the air :'(
The youth was later picked up by Police :cop :law
As the :cuss is under 17 y/o the courts aren't likely to hold him responsible to pay for damages (I have seen this happen many times to other people) :||||
Anyway thanks to the cover I had over the bike there was only minor damage (but damage that I'm still pissed about :well)
Here are some pics I took of the damage (All on the right side) just after picking the bike back up...

Engine Guard Bent (This was causing the misalignment of the Side Cowl)
(One bolt hole (Front) is aligned the other (Rear) is out a lot)

Anyway I have gone over the bike and everything is working without issue (and replacement parts will work out to less then my insurance excess) :runyay
$175 Mirror cover (From Blue City Honda)
$121 Engine Guard (From Blue City Honda)
$8.50 Delivery (From Blue City Honda)
$100(ish) Rjays Motorcycle Cover
$144 MCL Highway Blade and Cover (Price in AUD including shipping)
Total
$540
The damage to the pannier will buff out and the scrapes on the footrests are underneath so I'm not to worried about that.
Anyway the mirror cover has been taped together and one of the bolts connecting the Side Cowl to the Engine Guard have been left out to allow the bike to be ridden until I order, receive and install the replacement parts :thumbs
The only thing left to say is that this has been an expensive way to review the RJAYS Motorcycle Cover... It's awesome :grin :thumbsup
Cheers

this little tony abbott needs a good kick in the gonads, I know someone who'll stalk him and give him just desserts.
so sad to hear you were the victim of such cruelty to one's cicle. Shiney. remember his name for when he's old enough for the big house, then start a rumour he's a catholic priest.. when he's held responsible for his actions... Delete this if its in-appropriate,,

what ever happened to good clean fun. I hope the karma bus lines up the little B and he gets his justice
down the track. Malicious damage is not fun and it is hard to see what enjoyment they can get. Glad to see the damage was not worse.
-
Bugga Shiney :cuss Lets hope you are there to watch the karma bus run him over - It may take years, but the wait will be worth it ;-*
-
Shiney. Do you know what the little bugger look like :cuss
He will get his own one day :spank
Not good when it is your pride and joy :well
-
Little vandals, what would they do if it was their pride and joy? I was expecting to see a higher $$ figure for the damages though, looks like st's fall well

Sorry to hear Brother Shiney 🙁, cant understand what satisfaction people can get from mindless damage to others property :crazy. Hope you can put it all together before Wooli🤓

Buggar Mate, not the best news.... however, now might be the perfect opportunity to add some colour to your life... I reckon it'd look good with some candy glory red mirror covers |-i ... anyhoo, box of beer in hand and off to join Bodo in the naughty corner...

:fp Bugger! Criminals who can avoid their responsibilities because of their age is a very annoying trend. :OldMan We are all responsible for our own actions, and courts are too soft on juvenile recidivist offenders who have not learned a thing from previous grace and leniency.
-
Bad news mate. Lucky for him you didn't watch it live and fly out there to administer a little bit of attitude adjustment.
Sent in while riding at 160! JK!!!
-
That's a fair bit of damage! Our bikes are very vulnerable. Low life like him usually get their thrills "keying" cars. The scratches cost a lot to rectify, but don't look as bad as broken mirror covers and bent body panels.
As Pete says, the trend in juvenile misbehaviour is a worry. Too many kids of dropkick parents who will go on to breed worse copies of themselves.
-
Sorry to hear that this happened.
-
GRRRR !!!! :|||| :cuss

:cuss >:()
Maybe time to think about some rear tip over bars:-

This is why we can't have nice things :fp
It's a pity it didn't fall on the little scrote and trap the little turd under it.
Sorry to see the shiney new shiney-mobile isn't so shiney anymore >:()

Go to court on the day and find out where he lives, purchase a baseball bat, NOOOO I better not say that, but getting even would be sweet... I know his punishment from the Court (if he ever gets there) probably is another counselling from a goody goody. I bet he has a LOOOOOONG record of similar offences.

What a shame. Pity no one takes responsibility anymore
-
Thanks guys,
Everyone at work will be keeping a close eye on this little :cuss and will have the Police harassing him whenever he steps out of line.
After seeing my bike lying on the ground it did take me a few hours to stop shaking with rage :well but I'm trying to look at the bright side....
Bright side:
The cover is awesome (I'll be getting a new one) and I have a great reason for buying a new farkle (the rear tip over bars WAG spoke of :grin)
I'm sure the little bugger will get his sometime, I just hope to see it happen :thumb
I may even one day hear of the courts making him pay for his crimes (But I wont hold my breath :H)
Cheers

that is a bugger mate :well

Damn Shiney. I'm with rally, it makes you want to buy a baseball bat and start looking for dark corners.

:blu13 YEA...BUT in our now Nanny country he would probably be able sue for damages the bike did as it fell on him >:() :blu13left
-
:blu13 Sorry to hear of this Shiney, nothing worse than seeing your beautiful BeaST being mistreated by unappreciative MORONS with nothing better to do than ruin or destroy other peoples property.. Hope all will be well with "Shiney & The white" ++ :blu13left

Impossible to believe the mental capacity of some folk. My brother in law had the same thing happen to his Ducati Multistrada but this was in his apartment carpark in Brisbane city. Tipped it over and then proceeded to kick the crap out of it. So sorry for you Shiney.
-
Little rat bastard, glad it is only minor damage mate
-
While I understand the anger and wish for retribution (guess I'm lucky it wasn't my bike!!!) you really have to wonder about what's going on in someone's head when their highlight of the day is pushing over a motorcycle. Be careful, they might start lighting fires next......
-
It's a f**ked system where the dregs of society are allowed by the courts to escape punishment for their criminal acts. Queensland (and probably the rest of Australia) must be the best place in the world to be a criminal. :cuss

Unfortunately it's not always the family's fault. My (disowned) adopted brother delighted in "borrowing" cars, lighting fires, breaking and entering etc, all starting from when he was 13. Unfortunately it wasn't the dropkick parents who adopted him (and were financially liable for his damages), but the genetics that were responsible. He had foetal alcohol syndrome, ADHD, schizophrenia etc etc etc.

It's WRONG not to be accountable. Thats not even worth claiming insurances. Annoying

I feel for you Shiney.
The (then 15 y/o) turd who tipped my bike over a day before I was travelling to far north Queensland in Dec 2011 was put away late last year.
Finally fronted real court, instead of Koori juvi court ... He is serving 7 years without parole for rape of his (ex) friends mother.
This is the same kid who egged my house for over 6 years, despite me moving house 3 times, because he didn't like my ex partners son at school.

Not good !! Absolutely no respect for other people and their property !!
Sorry mate :(
