If you drive a maroon motorcycle Last letters on plate TOY and you park at the corner of Gay and Pearl St. Your motorcycle was knocked over by a poor parallel parker. I picked it back up and it seems to only have a few scraps the gentlemen did not give a name but I have his plate number and car type. If you would like this information just PM

Good eye, thanks for posting. I had a woman knock over my bike once parallel parking, I was stupid enough to let her give me cash for the visible damage I saw in lieu of getting her insurance info. the spill bent my radiator which i did not notice until later $$ :(

Knowing you I'm sure you also left a note on the bike. Odds are not in favor of that being a CU reader (as large as the CU readership may well be).
I remember a few years ago (geez, like 6 years ago now) I watched a woman back into my bike (a Vespa) while trying to leave a parallel parked spot (parallel UNparking I guess). The bike actually pivoted around on its stand about 60 degrees as I had a conniption (with the yelling and the hand-waving). She was really apologetic and cooperative, and fortunately there was absolutely no damage!

Pretty much every time I drive through one of the more tightly parked areas around town, I encounter someone who is embarrassing themselves by trying to parallel park. Is it no longer part of the driver's test?
Anywho - well done, MissKitty - *fist bump*

I noted it as a poor parallel parker because he had a lot of room I am not sure how he could not make it work.
He did stop and apologize to me I told him it was not my bike , but he also went around the block three times before that and I don’t think he would have said anything if I had not been standing right there and watched it happen. I told him he should leave a note, name, etc. and he said ummm no.
I did also leave a note on the bike which I forgot to do until I read RM’s reminder post.I try to be as helpful as possible if there is some way to help. It’s those things that make someone feel a little better or less stressed , as there is nothing more stressful or aggravating than having a situation take place and no information to go with it. It makes me feel good and I like that. Just about a month or so ago I dropped one registration off to someone at their job that was lost, then mailed two different titles to their respective owners. Also mailed two different Anti- psychotic medications back to the Prescribing Doctor. I find pretty interesting stuff when I walk just a little slower and take in everything around me. lol

When I saw a car get sideswiped, I just wrote a note saying that a car with the license plate number, 123-ABC, hit your car and they left the scene. I never want to rely on the internet.While it’s true a note would be fine , The internet can help too. In fact one of those auto registrations I returned belonged to a member of the CU community. It’s a pretty widely read site and while that may not always be much it can’t hurt.
