Sorry Havoc, glad to hear there is only minor damage. I don't know if you guysremember when my wife backed into me (while I was on the bike). Cost me about $1500...[:@]
I bought my last bike, and brought it home ( it was winter time). Pulled it out for the first time. Buddy shows up, both bikes out behind the cars. You can see where this is going. As me and friend are standing in the living room looking out the window, wife and kid get in car, she puts it in reverse, doesn't even look back first, and WHAM! Backs up, knocks bike over on left side, continues to back up over the right side exhaust. I'd spent all winter putting the mods and "make it my own" accessories on it. $700 carbon fiber exhaust on right side, $1400 cosmetic work to left side.

She gets out of the car, while we're still watching, and goes and looks at the fallen bike. The look on her face went from, "did I do that" to complete ready to vomit in like 20 seconds. I just stood there for a second, went out picked up the bike, looked at her and said, "didn't see that there did ya?" I just wheeled it back into the garage. I honestly stayed calm the hole time and even to this day. I've since ordered a back up system/monitor for her car.

Sorry to threadjack Havoc. I feel your pain. Especially when we put alot of care into our rides. It's one of them pride things, ya know.

My wife was literally sick, too, and she couldn't catch her breath. Of course she thought I was underneath the car for a few moments.

Yeah...sorry Havoc. I already had a thread about this story. Anyway, are you going to leavethe rash on the bike of get a new stator cover, etc?
