a LOT of times people pull in the parking spot and hit it then run away..

It's happened to me, so I ALWAYS park my bike as FAR back *** out of the spot as possible so when people are turning into the spot they see it before they even try. I bet that's what happened.. any damage on the tail?

why the hell would you keep it out in the open on a COLLEGE CAMPUS??! C'mon son!...alarm wouldn't have done ****. all it would have done was make them run away faster and laugh harder at the fact that your alarm is screaming while the bike is on the ground. karma's a bitch....it'll catch up to those douchebags..

on a lighter note.. now you have an excuse for getting rid of those ugly stock turn signals!!

thats so true, i always park as far back as possible. i've seen cars tip bikes before. they're pulling in way too fast to a spot and when they finally see it its too late to stop

My bike has an alarm. Usually goes off once a week because a kid just touches my bike. Installed properly, it won't let a person grab the throttle hard. And that's without a perimeter sensor installed (which I'm upgrading sometime soon)

No damage to the tail, besides the minor scratches. I doubt it was a car because that spot is specifically for motorcycles, they woulda had to go on the sidewalk and back around a tree to hit it. But theres not much i can do about it now. ill just have to get her looking pretty again.

Do any of you guys know of a good site to order touch up paint?

Were not talking about grabbing the throttle hard or stealing it. Were talking about punks messing with peoples bikes. I'm sure you're alarm works great but if a drunk dude came up running full speed and Bruce lee'd the $hit out of your bike, would the alarm have prevented that??
