The Great Destroyer
I park my bike inside a parking garage beneath my apartment complex. I had to cage it for a few days last week when my girlfriend noticed my bike had been moved and some bicycle racks had been installed along where my bike had been positioned. The bars were locked but I guess was that was no deterrent and they somehow shimmied it over the few feet they needed.
When I went down to check, I was surprised to find the left handlebar had been bent. The picture above was taken with the wheel as close to upright as I could make it. I have no idea how they could possibly have bent just one of the bars like that, but obviously now I'm worried they damaged other stuff.
I've filed a claim with my insurance provider as they are my legal representation, although it looks like the contractors are not going to give me any problems at this time. I'd actually taken last Friday off to take a big ride around the mountains here but instead I spent the morning dealing with the damage. Oh well, maybe I can convince the shop to swap in an FZ1 handlebar while they're in there, unless the insurance company disagrees.
