Some Jackhole in a purple F150 truck (if you see this truck in Seattle please post the license number) knocked over my bike tonight and drove off. Amazingly, the clutch plate, plastics and even blinkers survived (thanks to the CRG sliders). My left rearset broke off completely. The bike pivoted before it fell and the curb broke the clutch bracket where the mirror attaches.
1) Replace the left rearset or upgrade? If so which one?
2) Any one got parts?
-clutch bracket
-signal light control
-left rearset
3)@#*% anyone with a purple F150, you @#*%ing suck.
Need more description of the truck. I have seen a early 80s jacked up Ford for sale in the Kirkland / Woodinville area that is more of a Lilac color.
Sounds like you got off easy, compared to what could have happened.
The rearset on my '02 was not all that expensive to replace, it just took a few days to get. But then the weather is crap right now anyway...
Where was the encounter? What part of the truck made contact?
Pike and Harvard next to QFC, about 5pm on Thursday. The truck backed into my bike and it looks like a bumper. Since I was not there I only have the color and make from a witness.
