But i saved bike and exxon, how would i explain this to ins company. lol

WOW that was a close one. Glad it turned out to be relatively minor. Just tell the insurance company the truth. That story is too crazy to be anything else.

Glad everything turned out ok, a Fire Red SG would not have lasted long, and the resulting Charcoal SG wouldn't be to fun...
