I see you have a pic of my new backyard!

at least there's tracks there.... and year round riding

Shit,Hotbodies offered me race plastic for $300 shipped. I'm telling you buy back FTW! You can get a Vortex/Woodcraft covers for under $300. When they give you the buy back figure,see if they'll take less. I got my '01 GSXR back for $150 from Nationwide. People tend to treat Insurance Companies as if they are doing us a favor by handling our claims but they are merely providing a service that we PAID for. You have to keep that in mind. The adjusters are paid to pay out as little as possible,you have to show that your bike was worth more or less in the case a of a buy back. Don't let them push you around buddy!

oh I won't... they're paying me 1800 for all my gear... they were only going pay me for the helmet... but I fought that shit... and told them... look... either you can pay the 1100 for my gear or... pay for skin grafts the next time... can't believe they didn't call my bluff


and yes... I'm not gonna pay over 1700 to buy it back. but I'm not taking less than 5000 for it... unfortunately race plastics are hard to come by for my bike... I've looked before... and I don't know if woodcraft or vortex makes covers for my bike... unfortunately most don't.

I'd like to buy it back and track it... be awesome.

either way... I'm gonna get a 600rr or GSXR600 next leaning heavily towards the RR

Oh yea? Well let me introduce you to TARGA early 90s... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I've heard bad things about HB as well. I think he was offering his shit cheap to clean up their reputation. Apparently,it was some new better made stuff,or so he claimed anyway.

First of all... I can't believe I went through this entire thread and NOT ONE PICTURE?? *(^Q@#(^%)#

Glad you're relatively alright. But, if the ankle is still bothering you best have it checked out. Ankle injuries are the worst if they don't heal right

$6800??? I know you could buy an entire new ZZR for that. Don't sweat it, just go to the next bike and don't look back...My first bike went like that, $6400 out the door and 1000 miles later $3800 worth of damage. I had it repaired but there was always a ghost voice telling me it just wasn't right. I traded it off and never looked back!
