Do not fret, my friend. In Oct. 2009 I hit a dog on a trip to AR, and that caused $7k worth of damage to the bike and 18 months nursing a torn ACL in my left knee. The knee repaired and the bike is now better than it was before thanks to a very generous insurance adjustor. It sounds like you're much better off that I was, so keep your chin up, as you'll be back up and running soon.

Well after 7 weeks (mostly waiting on painted tins) my bike is finally back in good as new shape.
I need to give a plug to Geiko Insurance who paid within 2 weeks. After them paying I also received my annual bill which did not increase. I don't know if i will be hit with an increase later or not, but nothing yet.
If it wasn't for the wait on the 2 painted parts this would have been completed within a few weeks. It's scarlet red, which i would have figured to be a pretty standard easily ordered color, but apparently they don't just have the parts available. Or customs ties them up from China /shrug.
I'm sure glad I had another bike to ride, I would have gone crazy after such a long wait.

I am glad you ok like everyone else. I wrecked my super glide sport back in December. The front brake locked up will rounding a corner doing 60 mph. As well I wasn't hurt but my pride was busted considering I was on a charity ride. Good luck with your repairs.

Hope your ride is good as new, and ride safe!
