Fact: people are morons.
So for the second time in as many months, some jackass has knocked down my hawk while it was parked next to my apartment building, and walked away without leaving so much as a note. I just come out and find the poor girl lying on her side. The first time it was on the left side, bye-bye clutch lever, or I guess I should say hello shorty clutch lever. This time it was on the right side: bye-bye most of the brake lever, bye-bye whatever bolt holds my rear brake reservoir onto the subframe, and hello scratches on my engine case, tail, and devil high mounts. At least the bike is mostly fightered-out already and so has no fairings to worry about.
I just don't understand why a person would damage someone's property and then just leave it there. It's not another car with a scratch on the bumper - the damn thing is lying on its side, leaking **** everywhere. If I ever find out who did it... let's just say they will understand on that day that actions have consequences.

Don't you wish you could get your hands on the person who did that?

think hard. remember that kid in the apts that you took his ball or frisbee and threw it on the roof? lol think hard you know who is knocking the bike over if you really think about it long enough.
And when you find out dont do anything rash, just super glue the ******* hands to your rear seat and go for a two mile ride, or till his shoes run out of rubber either way- good times.

Interesting update:
I left a note under the windshield wiper of the car parked next to my bike, which had some suspicious scratches on its bumper. (Though it's Chicago and every car has scratched bumpers.) I kept it short and polite and included my email address. The next day I got an email from the woman who owns the car.
She claims that as she was trying to park, a bicyclist passed her on the inside and clipped my bike, knocking it over. (He must have it hit it pretty hard, but it's possible he didn't see it and the orientation of everything involved makes sense here.) Apparently she asked him if he was going to leave it like that, and he told her to beat him up if she was so concerned about it, then took off.
Not sure if I buy all that but at least I got a response. And yeah, I think frame sliders are in order. Hell if this keeps up I'll have to wrap the thing in styrofoam whenever I'm not riding it.
