Nataly 38 #2 October 26, 2009 Oh, I'm glad.. Don't take their first offer, though.. They always start low and hope you will just take it."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #7 October 27, 2009 Buy the bike back from the insurance company. My dad just did this, the bike was totaled and he got it for $500. $500 in parts later, it is going again. Most of the damage was minor cosmetic stuff. The exhaust for example, we just wrapped in the ceramic tape. Be sure to look at the list of damaged parts, and determine what you have/want to replace and add it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
