Default almost got a new bike...(with pics)

Last night we had some heavy thunderstorms and a tornado watch in effect. It started raining really hard and then started hailing, then the winds picked up. The winds were strong enough to topple a tree over onto my grandfathers truck... just 5 feet away from my bike. His truck is totaled I took pics but don't have them here at work. Tonight I'll try and post a few pics of his truck. But if my bike was only over a few feet more I would be getting a new one.

No my grand mother is a beautician and I was getting my hair cut.I thought I would be done b4 the storm came. But it just opened up and I didn't have time to put it up. The tree came down in less than 3 min after it started storming.

I thought about it but then that that would be cheating the insurance... and I would never do that[sm=innoc.gif]

Besides the cops were there right after it happened. The tree took out a few power-lines and they were live... so the cops came pretty quickly!

That truck is F'ed up! Good thing nobody was in it at the time.
Now what you do is take a baseball bat to your bike if ya really want a new one and just say you forgot to mention the damage on it earlier.
