We canvassed all the storefronts and found a Mexican guy and his wife doing laundry across the parking lot. This guy, who could barely speak English, had written down the year, make and model, color and plate number of the pickup truck that knocked the bike over. Five minutes after the CHP showed up, they had his address and phone number. The CHP officer drove directly to the home where the parents tried to cover for the guy but changed their attitude when he called in an arrest warrant for hit-and-run. We had all the info we needed in less than 90 minutes. This is rare, we got lucky. They paid for all the repairs, and it wasn't cheap.

I'll have to do some asking around tomorrow, at my work we have 20-30 drivers who are in and out all the time and who know my bike. I would hope they would say something if they saw anything happen (the place it was parked was away from where any of the drivers would normally park, so i have kind of ruled out any of those guys.) The owner of the tattoo shop across the street rides and is a good dude, I plan to ask over there tomorrow.
The thing that has me a little worried it there is a slight squeaky noise when I come from a stop that lasts from 2000rpm to 2500 or so, a pretty brief period of time. I hope there isn't some serious damage.
