Default Finally have it back!

Three months after I crashed, i finally have my bike back. It's crazy how long you have to wait to get painted parts. But, the good news is that the bike looks and drives like new. I'm really happy how everything turned out and am looking forward to getting in as much seat time as I can before the weather turns.

One other thing, I couldn't be happier with the way I was treated by Progressive Insurance. Very fast and fair in the way they handled my claim.

Great to hear you are back in the saddle. Progressive also treated me well. I was hit by a hit and run driver and I filed a claim after only owning the bike for 2 days. I was thinking this doesn't look good and they are going to give me a hard time. This was a second bike and I had been a customer for 2 years on my other bike so all went well.

Progressive treated me very well about 6 years ago. I told them I do all of my own work. So they a quote from a local H-D shop and paid me their labor rate to do my own work.

Congrats on getting the bike back. I’m glad to hear progressive treated you right. I have them too, hopefully I never need to use them.
