My bike was hit while parked again today - was up in Bathurst with my wife - we stopped for lunch and parked 45 degree rear to the curb in between two cars. When we came back from lunch, a friendly store owner informed me that an old lady had tried to park in the same spot as my bike!!! She had reversed straight into - hit it reasonably hard too if the 10cm scratch in the tarmac left by the sidestand is any guide - and then drove off without getting out of her car. Fortunately a passer-by took down the rego and offered to act as a witness if necessary.
The front mudguard has a few minor scratches and is a bit bent out of shape - Can anyone suggest other potential damage I should check for? such as a damaged rim or bent forks. We rode back to Sydney with no apparent issues, but I want to make sure everything is ok.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
