At work this morning, I parked my bike on the same concrete pad by our back steps that I've used since April--first my Aprilia, then my CBR. When I got to work, the Waste Management guys were there emptying our dumpster and a couple others. I parked my bike, said hi, and went inside. A few hours later, our delivery guy came in and told me my bike was down and he helped me get it back up.
Long story short, the green paint and multiple scrapes on the grab handles, taillight, and license plate light tell me the WM truck backed into it. The left mirror is all gouged up and took the brunt of it. But the shifter peg is bent, as is the triangle on the kickstand. Still shifts and stands fine, but it's aggravating. If they would have pushed it another foot forward it would have fallen down a half flight of steps into a steel door. I shudder to think what shape my bike would be in then.
