Heard from the Insurance Co.

Then congrats for being in the great minority of bike riders. If more people were like you, then motorcycles would be much more tolerable.

 

Ok guys! I heard from the Insurance person and the auto body shop who has come up with an estimate of over 11k in damage. So at a Value of 16k
Do you guys think they will total it????

 

i dont think so...sorry
g/l

 

What??? why not? thats over 70% of the Value.

 

The skid in this picture comes across into your lane. The skid length will determine how fast he was going, The fact that he crossed a double yellow into YOUR lane should put him at 100% fault. Only way it could be your fault was if the skid and accident were contained in his lane, even then he was probably going to fast.

EDIT to add : He had little to no experience on ANY type of motorcycle. He fixated on your truck and the body naturally turned the bike in the direction he was looking. Any experienced rider knows where ever you look you go, so if you don't want to hit the curb, stop looking at it!

 

Sorry about your taco. I live in Everett, If you wanna unload those wheels and tires and they're straight, I will buy em from ya.

 

Well I just got done talking to the Auto Body shop again, and they said that there estimate wasnt the total. They still need to tear it down and look at the rest of the damage.

soo im geussing there ganna total it..

 

Wow. that bike rider doesn't know how lucky he is to live after that wreck...

On a side note, nice flexing pic.

 

When I got in a wreck a few months back, they told me that if the estimate to fix it was over 50%, they would just total it. Thank god it was only about 25%

 

thats called unique flexing... lol.

 

Well the Autobody shop called me today and said his total Rough estimate is over 15k.
WOW! I wasnt esspecting that. But atleast now Im pretty sure my Insurance will total it, with my truck Valued at 16.2k.

 

Well, theyve finally told me today there ganna Total my truck and that the Value is at 17k. Giggidy!
I am going to buy it back for 4k though. cant wait!

 

Bring on the 2nd gen!

 

Yep!!

 

So your basically gonna have two tacomas?!?!

 

get a life dude. I own a tacoma and a streetbike. Not everyone who rides are idiots. There are just as many people driving around talking and texting and smoking not paying attention to the road as there are riders stunting and showing off.

 

sounds like it

 

haha ya the "gay wave"? Its actually a sign of one rider to the other to ride safe.

 

So his truck is such a "head turner" that it caused an accident? That, my friend, is something to be proud of.

 

lol... Yes it is!
Oh! and today I saw a truck like mine except it was super white. And it made me miss my truck sooooooo freakin bad!!! This truck was my very first vehicle and it was my dream truck. But I now need something with a little more room and bed space. So 2nd gen, here I come!
