Dude, either you are a genius, a savant or something that can't stop from tinkering or you have some serious ADD?

lmfao! I'm a dumb caveman so we can rule out intelligence being the cause...so it must be because of the A.D.D!

hey motorick...Im new to this process...

I was assuming they'd total the bike, write off what I owed (because I have gap insurance)...and just call it even.

Is this a wrong assumption? Advice greatly appreciated!

The first thing you have to determine is whether you owe more than the bike is worth. If so, then, yes, you'll have to call it "even".

But if you owe less than the bike was worth, then you really need to make sure you agree with what they say the FMV was. I can only warn you that your insurance company (anybody's insurance company) is going to try to get away with giving you as little as possible, and in most cases are open to negotiating a better deal for you if you can give them evidence that your bike was worth more at the time of loss than what they are offering you to settle minus things like deductibles. Since what they pay you after a total loss is based on fair market value, you have an opportunity to give them evidence of FMV that will probably be more than their original offer.

duuude, awesome, thanks a lot for that write up! I owe more than the bike is worth so looks like we'll be even but damn...sounds like a pain in the ass if I were to own it outright!

Soooooo what's going on Cambo

Hey dude, I actually went to the dealership to check out the bike and get the damage estimate print out. The adjuster put in all capped letters at the bottom of the quote: "RECOMMEND TOTAL" so I guess that's that. If I do get another bike it'll be next spring and right now I'm on the fence of whether I'll even get another bike. Our second son is due next month so maybe this is a fortuitous event to help free up some dough. Besides, I've got this Vstar still. No where near as fun as the 8...but it's a bike. and it's something to tinker on. I just need to learn about this whole carburetor thing. One thing's for sure though, it's a helluva lot easier to sync carbs! lol

yeah dude...fackin' DC is the worse place to be on the highway...but I've got no choice to get to work. It sucks. lol, it's like, choose your danger: retarded drivers on the hwy.. or dodge all the deer on the back roads because MD has ridiculous hunting laws.

Cambo I commend your desire to be responsible and a family man.

However, enjoy the following video and let it sink in. Pay particular attention and 3:01

yeah ssky that video was epic...thanks for posting. I definitely intend to keep on riding. I'm just holding off on that latest and greatest rig right now ;)

Will- yea brotha I was holding off on the cage in case I'd get a chance to use them again (sliders and rearsets being busted), but after confirmation yesterday, I definitely won't be needing them. Sorry I should've let you know before. Anyway I'll send them out this week for sure and let you know what shipping is.

Thinking about a 9?
Click to expand...

I actually checked out the 9 at the dealership yesterday. It looked sweeter in person but unfortunately it's a lot smaller than I expected.

I've got my eye on two bikes right now: the street triple R and the super tenere.

EDIT: I will for sure keep my eyes peeled for a used fz8 though. I'd happily get back on the 8.
