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 am thinking that a blood test should have been ordered and a license pulled given those conditions...Thank GOD no one was hurt...

Wow!

My heart goes out to the owner of the kyptro, and I am so glad no one was hurt.

I have always heard that "Green" colored bikes were bad luck. So, so sorry to

hear about this.


Ride Safe!

That'll buff right out - surely it would be worth repairing?

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.

True words....... Someone picked up their new bike Spitzies HD in Albany NY on Thurs 05/12/2011 and within 1 minute of exiting the dealership he was dead by being struck by a truck doing the 40 mph speed limit. Nobody know what happened yet and the truck driver was not at fault.

Better for it to be hit sitting alone then be sitting on it when hit.

Now that sequence of events would ruin anyone's day.  :nervous:

Was the driver any relation to Superman, last name Kent (maybe his Mom)????

We all know krytonite was his undoing........maybe in the genes or something.

Noticed the OP is from Akron so it could have been LeBron's Mom.
