I'm more surprised that 3 grand is enough to total it, isn't it brand new?

Hope the recovery goes quickly man

 

thats good at least but take it easy! shoulder injuries suck ass...

ya thats wild it was 3k! it dont look that bad tbh! and agreed with what tacotuesday said im shocked that was enough to total it! was the tank dented in? thats the only thing ive seen that usually totals a bike

 

It was just new to me. It’s a 2016 with 12k miles on it, and we paid $4500 before taxes and fees and stuff. No tank dent, just scraping on the emblem. I’ll post up a screenshot of their repair estimate below. Kudos to Progressive, they really went all out looking for what would need to get repaired. If it was actually new, I’d be super stoked at how detailed they were.

 

That's not awful, 1/3 of it is just the cluster. If they're willing to just cut you the check you could make out pretty well. If you're not re-doing the tank, outside of cluster programming (mileage, vin, whatever) I don't see anything on there your average person couldn't do themselves.

 

That’s what I’m hoping for. I wish they wouldn’t have wrote it as a total loss and would let me choose what to replace under insurance, but it is what it is. If I can get it salvage, I won’t be too upset. I just don’t wanna lose it. It’s got sentimental value to me at this point. lol.

 

To my understanding, insurance has to account for everything to be fixed to determine if it's fixable/total loss, but if it is fixable, then most will cut you a check and let you choose what to fix, under the caveat whatever you don't fix wouldn't be covered in the next incident.

Didn't realize it was just new to you, makes sense then it was totaled. Wild the gauge cluster and tank repair alone is half the cost. but makes sense. electronics and paint aren't cheap.

 

Out of curiosity just looked up what it would cost for my 14 y/o F800GS. Yikes.

 

ooooh i see then! that makes sense on why its totaled. still sucks it is thou

 

out of curiosity I just looked up the cluster on my 10yo S1k...feeling pretty thankful now that didn't suffer any damage this past weekend lol

Makes sense... I say ride the ones you have, see how many miles you can rack up doing two wheel therapy. I've heard a few people mention the difficulty transitioning to retired life, and can imagine the new routine (or lack thereof) is a big change. Hope everything works out for you!

Also this is a pretty good book I read recently, has some helpful insights/tips

I cannot like this at all... from your point of view, or the Triumph's.

 

I’d go if I didn’t have to be somewhere all weekend. My wife sure would appreciate me buying more yard art.

 

I'm on my 8 on anyway

 

Sorry to hear. Glad you are still upright and walking about. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse. Bikes repair a lot easier than people. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

 

Sounds like passing on the 929 is the way to go. Are you into fishing? I've been riding less now that my daughter is getting older, I and spend a lot more time on the water. It doesn't get the adrenaline pumping as much but is just as fun, and is a lot more relaxing. I can't wait until I get to retire. Enjoy this time!
