My
R6 got hit! Grrrrr!!
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
| Summary: I parked on Pearl and 16th and went into a restaurant to eat. When I came back out, my bike had been hit by a vehicle, knocked over and picked back up. There was a note on it. |
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
Parked in front of the Army Navy Surplus store on 16th and Pearl in Downtown Boulder. Went into Mountain Sun to eat and celebrate Ira's F4i purchase. | ||
|
|
Lady backed into my bike, knocking it over. She left a note with a phone number. | |||
|
|
Found the damaged bike. Took about 45 pictures. | |||
|
|
Talked to Officer S. Cast (badge # 950) of the Boulder Police Department (BPD) and two other officers about what to do as they looked at the bike. Showed Cast the pictures. | |||
|
|
Rode home. Ira followed part way to make sure everything was fine. Couldn't shift out of 2nd gear easily.. and rode home most of the way in 2nd. | |||
|
|
Called the Lady. She would not talk to me. She gave me a long distance number to her husband. | |||
|
|
Called the husband, Nick. Talked for 15 or 20 minutes. He was very uncooperative.. wouldn't give me the info I needed for the police report. I was very calm and diplomatic on this phone call. He was loony and illogical. Here are some of his quotes:
|
|||
|
|
Called Officer Cast back (left a voice mail) to let him know that the Lady wasn't cooperative at all, and that they didn't give me any insurance information. | |||
|
|
|
Talked to the Toby Moser State Farm up the street from my house and filed a claim for the bike. I found out how to proceed from here:
|
||
|
|
Went to the Satellite Boulder Police Station on 16th and Pearl to look for Officer Cast. He wasn't there, so I talked to Officer Reznik (badge # 64). Showed him the site and the pictures. He dispatched an accident investigator. | |||
|
|
Talked to Officer G. Powers, Accident Investigator, of the BPD. He looked at the pictures and the site, and filed an official police report: PO2-300A. | |||
|
|
State Farm called with a claim number and some other information. Left a voice mail. (I was talking with the police at the time) | |||
|
|
State Farm called with questions and answers about the claim. Clarified the date with them. | |||
|
|
BPD called and wanted to talk to me and see the bike. They said they would come to my house since the bike was unsafe to ride. | |||
|
|
Officer Kurt (?) arrived at my house to look at the bike and ask some questions. Turns out that he was filling out police report # PO2-299A filed by the Lady. Apparently they called in after I talked to them. He said he'd compile the two reports together. | |||
|
|
|
Took the bike into Colorado Powersports off of Pearl and 55th Ave. to get a repair estimate done. | ||
|
|
Called State Farm to let them know of the double police report situation. | |||
| 10:30 am |
|
Talked to State Farm to go over my options, and see which route was the best to take to make sure that the Lady's insurance paid for my bike. | ||
|
|
|
Authorized Colorado Powersports to fix my bike. | ||
|
|
State Farm adjustor approved the $4,464.81 worth of repairs to the bike. Yikes! | |||
|
|
|
Picked up my bike from Colorado Powersports. All repairs were made. Paid $4,569.53 | ||
|
|
|
Got a call from the Lady's insurance company. They are sending me a check to cover my deductible. | ||
