Re: Can You Be Charged With a Crime for Knocking Over Somebody's Motorcycle
im not saying it is ok to touch someone else's possession. but you should also not have it in the middle of the sidewalk where people have to walk around it. Its human nature to look at it then, especailly when it is in front of a business with 3 other bikes and it looks they are for sale. You dont want anyone touching them or looking at them keep them inside your business then or put a sign up stating please dont touch bikes.

He has plenty of video tape of other people touching the bike as well. so because he sat on the bike he caused it to fall over. He has plenty of video tape of other people touching the bike as well. The bike didnt even fall over until after atleast 5 minutes after he got off the bike. Other people looked at the bike as they walked by. Why wont he produce any more of the video tape? What is he afraid of? It seems to me that because he can read the license plate of my car on his video i am the easy target to go after. I can he pursue me when i was never anywhere near the bike and that is cleary shown on the video as well.
What is he afraid of, you ask? You are the one who seems to be afraid. Tell your "friend" to stop sitting on other people's motorcycles. One day he'll really sit on the wrong one and he'll be worried about far more than a lawsuit, lol...

Your parents didn't teach you the difference between "look" and "touch"?

If the motorcycle is supposed to be registered and insured, then the claim would go through the insurance company and only the deductible should have to be paid. Also if the bike is parked illegally on a sidewalk that is ok?
Who says the motorcycle has to be registered and insured? If it's not being driven on the road then there is no need to register or insure it.
I've owned 7 motorcycles in my riding career and I've never had collision/comp coverage on any of them. So even though my bikes were registered and insured I would not be covered for some stranger causing damage to the bike.
