Watta Bummer!
Got the news today that I was expecting but did'nt want to hear. My 2000 RG which was hit & damaged by an inattentive cager about 2 weeks ago has an $8,000 estimate to make it right again. The frame,fairing,crashbar,tour pack and several other items are damaged. I hate to think of what it would be like if I had gone down!
Thankfully I stayed up and sustained no major injuries other than my left hand getting pinched when I hit the car. Now I guess the real fun begins with seeing what kind of runaround I get from her ins. co. especially since the bike had almost 158k on it. It really bites because I get my next vacation break in about 3 weeks.

Sorry to hear it. No way to get enough attention on a bike when the cagers have cell phones, in dash LCD screens, road head, etc. It could have been much worse and you should condsider yourself a luck man. Too bad you can't sell the 2000 Roadie and buy another then have a really fun vacation...or can you?

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. You are lucky you were not hurt badly. As for your bike, I wouldn't be surprised if the Insurance Co. doesn't total it. A 2000 with that many miles. That's close to what the bikes worth.

I am certain they will total your bike. I was told somewhere around 50% damage will often generate a total loss. Start gathering your receipts and all your accessories totals.
(don't give them the totals until you get the word).

I checked Kelly Blue Book value & it gave a price of a bit over 10k not figuring in the options that I added to the bike. I'm sure the high mileage will knock the value down some. I have found another RG with only 14k on it but I have to see what the ins. co. & my C.F.O. are gonna have to say. But when all is said & done I'm still walkin & talkin and not in a hospital bed or worse. Have a Safe & Pleasent labor Day Ya'll!
