Default Making progress

Talked to Allstate today and hopefully my parts will be on order tomorrow. Forks, front fender, brake handle, etc, plus 5 hours labor.
They're supposed to cut a check to the dealer tomorrow. Then will cut me a check for a helmet.
With any luck I'll have the bike back by this time next month.

Thanks.
My Back is bugging me on the right side, but the bruising is subsiding and the stuff that drove me to the hospital on Friday is getting better. The meds seem to working.
Will be glad when all this is over with and done. Bill

Glad to hear the healing process has begun for both you and your ride. Hopefully you both will be recouped soon.

Yeah, the other was getting a little long, and waaaaaaay off topic

Meds are good. But then me telling you that is like the pot calling the kettle black

They don't seem too confident about the parts getting in any sooner. I'm just expecting the worse, but hoping for the best.

I bet it is the Fender because of the paint. Painted parts take longer because they do them when they do a lot of them, I don't think they set up for one piece. Can not say as I blame them because its a lot of trouble switching colors. So it begins again. Tic-tock....... Hold your head up because we are all behind you.
