We know your bummed about your bike. It's really unfortunate that meemaw shoves your new pride and joy right out from under you, and scrapes it all up.
It's good news that your unhurt, the bike can be repaired.
You got it at KillerCreek or Cartersville for repair? Like mkguitar said. Make CERTAIN that the bike it back to 100% before you accept it!
Best of luck

Quick tech question, would the saddle bag crash bar (on the Ultra Classic) spared some of the damage ? Thinking about adding some bars to the rear bags .....just in case of spill, and obviously a spill or knock over is one thing, and a full on crash is another (no bar really going to help)...just asking ..Hope you get back riding soon in any event. Cheers

The bike is at Cartersville HD now they have done their estimate and the insurance is supposed to go on Monday to inspect it. I will most certainly check it over very carefully before accepting it back. So far every time I have dealt with this particular dealer they have been very good!

I really appreciate all the comments about my not being hurt! I have already begun the "justification" process for lots of new parts!

Sounds like a real nightmare. That is one of my fears, of getting rear ended.
I bought a 2012 Road Glide Ultra in October. Sunglo Red. I didn't notice at the Dealership when I bought the bike, but after I got it home I thought I could detect a slight difference in color of the gas tank compared to the rest of the bike. When I took it in for the 1k service, they noticed ( in the shop with florencent lights) the color was off. They called MoCo and ordered a new tank. Current production ships out immediately. It was here within one week.. FYI
