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!
Hotbodies are the worst track 'glass you can buy EVER.

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!

I'm not reading all this shit... what is the deal with your bike Ebbs?

Very high damage estimate... only buy it back and track it if you don't plan to race. That bike would never be competitive in it's displacement class.

Otherwise you've got a track day machine for CHEAP and money in your pocket.

Probably want to get it measured up by a GMD computrack to check the frame/forks.

Evidently it's all about getting around the track as slowly as possible.

well my title issue is solved... (wells fargo didn't send out my title when I paid it off a year ago)...

and after talking it over with a few people... and some soul search'n... I think I'm just gonna say goodbye to my ZZR... I don't think I'd want to ride it much with a brand new bike in the stable. and really with the added bike payment... and house payment... who knows just HOW much track riding I'll be doing.

so looks like I've got 5850... err 4000 for a down payment on a bike... (pay back my dad)

COME ON HONDA let's see the 09 Colors already...
