A lot of people aren't familiar with motorcycles. The steering was hopefully locked, and it was probably in gear.. so backing it up a few feet without the key would have been impossible, especially for someone unfamiliar with motorcycles. He wouldn't have known to put the clutch in, or where the clutch even was most likely. I find that the blame is more so on the rider than the other party, but I'm not saying either side was in the right in this situation. I'd be upset, but it's sort of like walking out in front of traffic, getting hit by a car, then being mad at the person for hitting you. You're kind of asking for it, and bringing it on yourself. Should you fight the person like this guy said he almost did? FOR WHAT????
There's a lot more to this story, and I forgot some of the important details, but I do remember that the rider was not parked in a designated parking area, and that the man who tipped it over was trying to get his handicapped wife out of the vehicle. The rider caused an inconvenience to someone with a disability.. They're both in the wrong. Period.
