I had a mishap the first 20 miles, had about $4,000 in replacing parts plus labor,
If you get a bid from the dealer turn that into Insurance, they will pay you on that.
Then go to the parts counter and ask for 20% off on the parts, and install your own parts if you are handy with fixing things
I save enough to buy more chrome :)


would not put that in a general message it's insurance fraud

Too many idiots in this world Mogulbumm! I feel your pain! I had a 85 Wideglide that got taken out by a two time DUI cager. After I got put back together and the bike got put back together (both of which took about a year), i was out riding and stopped at a 7-11, I came out just in time to see a lady in a Cadillac back out of a parking spot straight back and nail my bike. It went down really hard. I had purposely parked in a remote corner but she found me anyways. She starts driving away without even getting out to look at the damage she caused. I got her stopped by beating on the side and window of her car and spewing loud profanity. Fortunately, there was an off duty cop that had just driven in that saw the whole thing and he intervened before the episode escalated into a murder scene. Her reply to the cop was "I didn't hit it that hard so I didn't think there would be any damage."  I'm glad you weren't hurt which is the improtant thing but I still feel your pain!!! I wish you incident free riding from here on out.

Good Grief, OldRocker.  And I'm sure that the 'lady' that mowed down the scooter just got a safe moving violation and her insurance premiems maybe went up for a few years.  No real consequences (since the off-duty LEO saved her and you).  spyder

Well Spyder it went like this. She was ticketed for failure to have insurance (it had lapsed and she didn't renew). I got stuck with the deductable ($500.00). When all was said and done, I lost and she had to pay a fine. Her car was towed to the police pound until she could show proof of insurance. Hey, at least it wasn't a CVO!

Well, you've got a much better attitude than I would have...I commend you for that.  Something is way wrong with our justice system in this country when it comes to vehicle operators.  :-[ spyder

HillBilly hello from TN.

Pretty heavy and your a strong guy. Love it, me too I thought. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

The first time I let mine fall I was up front on a ride or 120 bikes and as it leaned over I held with all my might not letting it go over all the way. I could not get it back up but was glad I did not let it fall. When I gave up and let it fall I noticed that it did not go over any further. It was resting on the crash bar and I was not holding anything. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

My pride was devastated and I wished I could disappear. :nervous: Good to not be hurt.
