Thanks Rianna...
the rest of the story...
My wife and I went to the Sacramento Kings and Oakland Warrior Pre-Season game last night. It was our first trip together. She had never really expressed a ton of interest in riding 2-up and I didn't have the gear for her. She started expressing interest so over the past few months, I found good, used gear so I finally had the gear and opportunity. We had a nice time. We stopped for dinner before the game and you could not have taken the smile off my face. We rode to the arena and we parked in our normal area near the arena parking in a surrounding business park with several other season ticket holders. We enjoyed a win and walked back out to the bike. As we got close we saw the bike was on its side. I had parked in a regular car spot where you could not back a car into it without hitting another car first.
Some hooligans from the opposing team (we saw them) had decided that a scooter in the parking lot needed to be dumped over to pay for their team's loss. I guess. It was up on the center stand as I always use it. The bike was dumped on the right side onto what was existing damage from a dump that occurred at the mechanic shop last month (working with the shop on that one). This is all occurring on panels that had existing damage from the previous owner and was there from when I bought the bike. This new damage was worse than any other and most forceful and included damage to rear side of the front fairing and right mirror mount (un-investigated at this time).
I am looking at new panels too, I am just looking at all options and some dealers read these forums and have "new old stock" from special orders that customers flake on.
