Glad you are back in the saddle.
But your insurance company must really SUCK if you are paying $20 more a month for the same damn bike!
Tell me how this works? Did you buy a bunch of accessories that your wrecked bike did not have and you financed it all??
Should have been an even swap out at the least being it was only a few weeks old.
My policy will pay for a NEW current year model withing the first two years. Meaning that even if I wrecked my 2012 before March 2014, they would pay for a 2014 Ultra Limited.
In your case, they should have at least replaced the 2013 Limited with a 2013 limited with no financial loss to you.
Or am I missing something here?

My bike wasn't totaled it was going to take 3 to 4 months to get it fixed, waiting on Harley paint set. I chose to trade the wrecked bike in and buy a new bike and get riding again. if I waited to fix it or if it was totaled it would have only cost $100.

Very sorry for your trouble. I am sure that it haunts you in slow motion. There is no way that your anti-lock was working properly if you see a skid mark. Good thing that you traded that bitch in. worth the $20. I did that with a honda when I was in my 20's. Once they bite you, you have to get rid of them.
BTW>>> I have a 2013 Ultra and those front brakes are sticky. I tried to touch them once in a low speed V turn and fell over!! hahaha.
Your a lucky guy...best of luck.

Go easy on your wife, don't push too hard. I believe it is a totally different situation to be a passenger with no control than to be the driver. She may get over it, she may not. I have been a "driver" my whole life regardless of vehicle. I have never been afraid of being hurt, just being caught. On the rare occasion when I don't get to be the driver, I am a terrible "white knuckle" passenger. She may have just become one also.

Are they paying for repairs and the dealer just decided to do the trade in with no loss because it's wrecked and they basically get a perfect repaired bike as trade in?
If so, makes me wonder what they will do with that bike once it is repaired. Hopefully not sell it without disclosing it was wrecked!!
