I was at the Hydrostones Thursday evening to attend a French class. I parked across from the coffee shop. There was an SUV parked there in front me… I was far enough away, but alas you still managed to back up, hit my bike and knock it on its side. How do you not notice that you hit something? Or are you that rude to drive away and not acknowledge that you damaged somebody else’s property? There was a kind gentleman at the coffee shop who came out to see if everything was okay. Thank you to him for his kind help. Shame on you though SUV driver. If you can’t see what’s behind you in that thing perhaps you shouldn’t drive it or pay the extra bucks and have the technology installed that tells you that you are hitting something. Perhaps karma will find you. —Sherri

“The technology installed that tells you you are hitting something”. – I believe that’s referred to as the central nervous system and if it needs technological augmentation then Borg-Boy should probably not be behind the wheel.
Again with the Karma. Only hippies believe in Karma.
Maybe install this wonderful technology on your bike so it can scream when something approaches it. ~ Maybe it could scream in both official languages!
Aww poor muffin, someone knocked over your bike. Unless there was any significant damage (e.g. bent spokes), then I don’t see this as being that big of a deal. And even then, the cost of repairs would be nothing compared to how much it would cost to fix a dent in a car.
tl;dr: STFU you whiny hipster.
Dear OP,
Perhaps the prospect of paying to repair your bike was too frightening to the SUV driver, what with the cost of an SUV gas fill up these days. This explains the quick getaway.
I hope your wheels weren’t too bent out of shape. I think you will have the last laugh here.

silly girl, don’t you know this is halisux, and assholes abound here? that being the case, it might be a good thing they didn’t stop. because by now, you could be a victem statistic. remember al the sightings of suv’s lately, connected with shootings and shit?
or it might have been our sebastard. either way, you might have got off lucky.
I feelyour pain OP. My bf’s bike was pushed over one night by a 16 year old in his dads car. Cost almost 2 grand to fix it. But the kid left a phone number. See there are some kind people in this world.
tabernac..fucking block heads…:)
damn someone beat me to the french swearing, curse this time zone.
Why would you put a bike behind a vehicle? And why wasn’t it locked up…..it’s North End, any crackhead could have stolen it to sell for a hit. I hope the SUV didn’t get scratched.
*Facepalm*
A bike that you parallel-park “across from the coffee shop” and behind another vehicle is a motorcycle, not a bicycle.
Bonus points to RC for getting it.
And no, I’m not the OP. I don’t take French classes, I’m quite fluent.
Not hard to tell you’re taking French lessons, I see you’ve already mastered the part about whining and complaining – can we get you some more transfer payments with that whine?
My bad.
I thought this was a Fixie that got knocked over, which wouldn’t make much noise.
But a frigging motorcycle?
Very valid bitch. Hope it wasn’t damaged too much, but their SUV was.
Was it a 93 Suburban, with a bumpersticker that says “I brake for Seamen”?
yeah, knocking over a motorcycle causes damage. Even if it’s just paint, it ain’t cheap. This is why I kind of wish it were legal to carry firearms in Canada, but also why I’m kind of glad it’s not… Cause I would’ve shot like 15 people by now. Get the license plate next time OP.
I think that there might be a ‘Happy Ending’ after all.

Ugh. I totally thought that was going to be about something else Hugo 🙁
Hey Melectric – It was kind of deliberate 😉
Who knows? Maybe they’ll get together for a real H.E.

Hoo Yah! Check out the episode of “Extras” where Dame Diana teaches Daniel Radcliffe some basic etiquette. She’s still got it.
