I recovered every dime I paid for the bike plus the thousands in accessories and clothing. No complaints about the GEICO claims process from me. I'm insured with USAA/Progressive by the way.
Yikes; hope you are back to 100% in terms of the body and mind. This was my fifth car/bike collision in 40 years and I've been fortunate enough to walk away from every one, but my trust in motorists continues to Zero. It was my wife's 1st and she's still on the mend, so not sure how she'll fare when we get back on the bike.
I'm hoping to get a fair offer, but decided I'd rather pull off about $3,500 of the $4,100 in aftermarket parts and accessories instead of hoping to get full value and then going through the buying / custom painting process all over again since we plan on finding an identical '13 FLHRSE5 as a replacement, i.e., everything coming off of Blue will go on Blue II.
I've been insured by State Farm since '75 and they've been less than impressive at every step. GEICO has been pretty good so far, but we've still got a long way to go; fingers crossed.
