Brand New Parked Krypto Totaled
« on: May 15, 2011, 07:33:25 AM »

Stopped at the dealer and he shared a  "you won't believe this" story.  You pick up your Krypto.  You ride it a couple of days.  It's got 141 miles on it.  You park it outside your shop.  Car wash across the street.  Lady pulls out of car wash, hits accelerator instead of the brake and panics.  Full throttle across the street and over your bike.  Panics, hits reverse, backs over it.  Bike totaled.  No useable parts (except maybe the seat).  Don't have all the details but that's the essence of it.  These are my pictures, so I've seen it with my own eyes.  Enough to make a CVO owner cry.  My dealer tells me the owner is going for a different color in a replacement.  Lady hits the bike of the owner's girfriend, too, parked next to the Krypto.   Awful

I believe she just panicked.  Don't have all the facts.  Could've been worse.  One  could have been riding by the exit of the car wash when she panicked.

Tragically hilarious. To bad there's no video. Good no one was near the bikes.

Is the motor/ tranny all scraped up? Somebody may be interested in the that.

You can't tell from the pictures, but the cylinders are twisted in the cankcase. There may be something in there worth saving, but it looks thoroughly trashed.

Dam, that is way too bad. Good think nobody was hurt. I was standing in a parking lot next to my bike once and someone backed up hit my bike and me but not that bad. Bike was repaired, I went to ER and was released in an hour.
