I took the Stig in to the shop today. I'd been worried since the car door incident, and he'd been scraping and wobbling a bit. They took a look at him, at me, noted that they were impressed that I wasn't in worse shape ("hey man take a look at this--she got doored" "whoa"). They had him in the back for maybe ten minutes before the official diagnosis came in.
The Stig is totalled. Apparently the dent is a symptom of the entire frame being bent (which explains the wobbly-scrapey).
I should've known that a black Stig wouldn't last, but I mistakenly figured as long as I stayed away from nitrous and aircraft carriers it'd be okay. Let this be a lesson to all of you. Don name your vehicle after a character that dies.
Now, on top of everthing else, I have to somehow convince the guy's insurance to replace my bike. Not how I want to spend my summer!
