If you think it is enough to total it. Definitely turn it in. You will get more for your bike than if you sell it and then you can buy that new one you want.

cover for my honda I have found for $60, they aren't that expensive. The woodcrafts are like $200 retail and thats the replaceable slider ones.

well I'm gonna have them replace all the plastics... that'll be over 1000.... the case cover 200 for a stock one (guessing)... so not enough to total it... the rest is gear... $500 helmet... $200 jacket, $120 pants, $200 gloves, and $180 boots...

funny thing is... I wasn't worried about my gear as it all held up great... didn't even hit my head... but the insurance lady said if I'm already over the 500... claim all my gear.

I don't know that I would claim any of it. I'd buy a case cover and some frame sliders and call it good. But that's me.

Glad to hear YOU aren't too bad. The bike can be repaired/replaced.

Good luck and hope you heal quickly

And FWIW...my stock case cover was less than $100 when I replaced it.

Nice to hear you are ok. Your bike can be fixed. When you get back to Korea go to Seol and Hooker Hill there used to be a bar called the Hard Rock. They make a great Long Island Ice tea. LOL Good luck and hope to see you next year.
