They drilled them down to $8400 and divided that by 2. They said that is what a Harley dealer would do if you traded it in. Summer is short up here and I need the money to buy another bike so I took the offer to get me back on the road. The drunk has been charged with reckless endangerment, drunk driving, leaving the scean. Like most of you said it could have been alot worse. My Mrs. was not with. If she would have been there I know for sure that she would have been digging in the saddle bag for something. At 100lbs I don't think she would have should much of a chance.


Interesting. Who is your bike insured with?

Also which State are you in.

It just baffles me the serious and common the these drunk driving accidents are.

Glad you hear only your bike was affected. I am not the suing type but I would go after the difference in small claims court because of the principle.

This crap has got to stop sometime.
