Unhappy Alright my friends.....feel my pain.

As all of you know....I've been on here and have just built my stroker. I got 3k on it and was gonna take it to the tracks this weekend.

Well, today as I'm driving to work I see these 2 guys on some rice rockets. They pull on the side of me in traffic and one bike revs his motor and gives me the thumbs up. I smile. It's bumper to bumper and these 2 bikes pull behind me. I'm watching them in the rear view as they do some burn outs. Next thing I know they are letting traffic pull ahead and then they would attempt wheelies then brake behind me. I didn't care as I had a rice rocket before and a 1/4 mile drag bike.

Anyway, I'm watching them in the mirror and I see this one guy can't ride too good. The next thing I know I watch him in the rear view pull a wheelie.....he's approaching fast I know he aint stopping. Sure enough, he tries to avoid the collision, striking my right quarter panel then draged across my passenger door. He ricocheted off and hit the car in the right lanbe also. My car is a 97 without so much as a scratch on it. The weird part is that I wasn't even made. Just more bummed than anything, plus the dude was shaking in his pants and couldn't even speak.

Oh well, just bummin here and wanted to let all the guys out there with car troubles know.....it could be worse.

So is this dumbass paying for the damage, or are you going to have to sue him?

Even though the kid may have been cool, you gotta still get him to pay for the BEST shop to fix it for you. It was an honest mistake, but a costly one. btw, where did this happen, just curious, I live in HI too. I'm going to the track after I get my madwolf tune, so hopefully I'll get to see you make a few passes.

You know.....I thought I would have layed the dude out too cause I don't have a good temper but I think I was just in disbelief that it happened. Now I'm glad I didn't because besides a screwed up car, i'd have an assault charge.

The dude is a Marine and just got back from deployment and he has insurance. I think that had something to do with my calmness. I've been giving all the military a lot of breaks. I respect those *****. He came running up saying "sir, I am so sorry sir." You just can't beat a defeated man. He's lucky I didn't arrest his ars. lol.

thanks guys..just had to vent.
