I bet if it were you it would be different!!!!! Wait till it happens to you and let us know what you did. Must work for an insurance company.

I have been here 2x now. Both times I was on the bike when it was wrecked. Tractor trailer ran me off the road at 60mph, 2nd time 17yr bimbo blapping on a cell phone pulled out in front of me from a side street. Fkn sucks!!!!!!!!! I hurt everyday from them, I ain't lettn anybody keep or take what I have earned!!!!!!!!

Every thing wrong is simple bolt on stuff, pull it in garage pull stuff off to the point of how it would be without things you may not replace. Then figure your must replace items and order those. At that point you will see if bike is how you want it. If it is, all the money left will tell you how much you can buy from the wish list of new stuff. I sure as hell would spend every penny of that insurance money and not feel guilty.

Thank god the other guy had decent insurance and insurance at all. Around my neck of the woods, lots of illegals driving around with no licenses, registration or insurance and most try to flee the scene...

I'm too ****. I'd have to get everything he scratched replaced.
If I scratched it it's one thing....if he scratched it I'd have to fix it.

What a self righteous a$$hat. What he does with the money, is entirely up to him.

Now, if something like this happened again and he claimed the parts that weren't repaired the first time, then ...
