I'm at the university too, do you park in a proper lot or by the bike racks like other people do? Wonder how it got knocked over.

I was working bar at spencer hall, 2 am , could have been a drunk customer, deer, anything.
 
dude that sameeee thing happened to me! **** it ****** me off! but that's what got me started on modding the bike and i ended up with one of the best lookin ninja 250s in Toronto haha... eBay is the best way... don't spend too much money on OEM for a ninja 250... u'll be able to find LOTS of parts for a ninja 250 on eBay :) good luck

it all depends on how much money you wanna spend obviously... But look for top rated sellers... And read everything in the item's description so there is no surprise... What are you looking for exactly?

I feel for you man. I once came out to my bike after a long day; pretty much the only vehicle left in the lot. I get on and go to shift...something feels funny...I look down and my shift lever is bent and then I realize she's been dumped on her side and then someone stood her up again...I think someone just pulled into my spot assuming it was empty because there was no "cage"...(it was a doctor's parking lot, so I guess they assumed no car, meant empty..."what doctor rides a motorcycle to work"...almost ten years later and it still gets me ******...anyway I posted a message throughout the hospital...and of course, nobody saw nothing/knew anything...bike? what bike? you ride a bike? Losers. Anyhow, it turned out to be minor damage...just the usual lever stuff...I'm amazed the pipes had not a scratch on them...only points of contact...bar end, shift lever, clutch lever...and they assured me the frame was unbent. Must have just tapped it...or it fell against the car next to it.... Anyhow, it's a very visceral feeling of violation, isn't it.

As someone else said, it could have been worse. And if this is one's biggest current problem, we should go to bed with gratitude.

I read this thread, and I realized that I understood **** till today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I walk to the lot after work, and find my bike laying down on the side =(

I ran to my bike as if the family's only kid fell on the ground, harsh. I could set a new 100m record during that run.

It's heartbreaking... =( F'in wind blew my bike off I think.

Thanks to the prev owner btw (he knows himself ! ), who lowered the **** out of the bike, and the kickstand doesnt support the bike properly.
 
It sucks major! I will definitely attempt a scratch less fix later when I have some time, the fix now can't be seen from far away but looks like poo from near .


And the part about people pulling in the spot same as me freaks me out even more, can't understand how ignorant people can be.
 
Don't park deep in a spot when cars are on either side, park towards the opening. This will increase the odds that your bike will be seen in time. Can't stop inattentiveness, all you can do is try to park defensively. I try to park at the end of a row, or somewhere that isn't in a tunnel like in the pic below.

IE not like this:

Sell your bike to me. I love that year/colour for the Ninja 250.
