Sounds like she's got the wrong bike. Tell your claims rep what you've said here and he should take care of the poor lost soul. Have him ask her what color the bike was and when she can't say or says the wrong color you should be all clear.

Yeah, I was definitely at work on Monday. I left my house at 830am and didn't get home until 6pm. Now that I think of it, I think my car was parked to the right of the bike Sunday night when I got home from my ride because I remember not having to go inside to get the cover. I just put it in the trunk of my car. Which also means, that my car was parked on the right side Monday morning when I left for work.

Have her tell your agent where it was parked, before they get there. To see if she is mixed up with the other bike on the other side of the parking lot.
Sounds like one fokked up pathetic shot at some insurance money.

Roger, that's great information. Thanks! Maybe I should send her a return letter citing that law. She could've avoided my motorcycle (if she really did hit it). Especially since it wasn't in the direct path of a walkway. Thanks again man! I appreciate it.
