First crash...

[BumpingUglys]

...and I wasn't even on the bike.

Went to Morrisons to pick up some stuff for tea, parked in a car bay as there aren't any dedicated bike bays there, spent about half hour shopping, came outside to find my owned-for-3-weeks CBR 125 on it's side...

Some complete cocksucker has teararsed into the bay without actually looking to see if it's free, rear-ended my bike and fucked off without a second thought, cowardly bastard that they obviously are. Hit it hard enough to shove it 2 foot forwards over a kerb, even though it was in gear, disklocked, and rear wheel chained.

Just got it in the living room at home now to assess.

Damage - Broken front mudguard, cracked headlight fairing, scuffed/cracked side fairing, broken/bent clutch lever, smashed rear n/s indicator, jammed seat lock, scuffed rear fairing.

Lid has also been trashed as was on the hanger, chin bar smashed (yeah, I know it's bad practice but hey, it'll be ok while I nip into Morrisons right...?)

Rode ok on the way home but I'm gonna take it off the road 'til the weekend then have a thorough going over.

I'm really fed up right now...

Sad to hear about that, you have to think long and hard about parking your bike in some places people's parking is that erratic, I've been reversed into while sat on the bike before!
Maybe Morrison's have cctv in the car park? Might help you find the culprit.

fuckeers! Check for CCTV with Morrisons, deffo reoport to police too. Long shot but any chance of cathcing the bastards should be explored.[/i]

You've got it out of the way now.

That sounds infuriating, some right scum about

[pinkyfloyd]

CCTV in the store and the police. If they have buggered off its criminal damage. If there are no witnesses, which I would find impossible to believe considering supermarkets always have people around and a bike going bye bye cant really be missed, I'd ask the store manager if you can get a poster put up looking for witnesses. Someone might have a numberplate.

Sucks to have any bike damaged but more so if it wasnt a drop by yourself. When parking in cage bays I always park as close to the open end of the bay as possible. That way any fool driving along can see me before they even attempt to park

Not very often I would park my bike in a car space but if I do I never park it far into the space at all for this very reason.

Dunno about other Morrisons, But I worked in one for 3 years and the only cctv camera outside only covered the front doors

Thanks for the advice guys, I've asked in-store about CCTV but I just got some blank looks from the staff. Will go see if the manager can help me out some tomorrow.

[Acemastr]

Do you really need a disklock, in gear... and a chain through the rear wheel to go to morrisons?seems a bit overkill personally.

I'd check the brake discs and calipers, disklocks can be evil things

Bad luck man. I try and avoid car spaces but if I can't be bothered I make sure I park diagonal-ish (right bottom to top left of the bay) and not too forward in to the bay and make sure it is visible for the blind cager as they may get an early glimpse of the bike, the topbox etc also help I guess. Hope you sort it out anyway. Worth pursuing the CCTV footage too.

Check the back end carefully to see if the car left any traces of paint anywhere. Long shot but it could be an unusual colour. Or at the very least, you might see a car of the matching colour with a scraped bonnet next time you're down Morrisons.

If I'm just popping in and there isn't a motorcycle bay then I'll park it up against the wall of the shop somewhere, I don't think I've ever parked my bike in a car space.

We all know how annoying it is when looking for a space to see one in the distance only to realise there's a small car in it. Damn you small cars!
