Laid the bike down

[ohgood]

Any updates?

My insurance called me and I gave them my story of what happened, told them I believed the other driver was at fault. I am waiting for a call to set up a date and time for my insurance to come inspect my bike and give me a quote.

The other guys insurance contacted me, got my story, and a few hours later, got a phone call for them to come inspect my bike for a quote.

I really hope two things.

1. I am not considered at fault for some reason. Many people tell me that they could claim I wasn't in control of the bike yada yada. I also don't have to deal with raised insurance costs.
2. The bike get's to be fixed and not deemed "total loss". Wondering if I should keep the bike if this happens. I know you guys like parts.

1 why are you involving insurance, at all ?
2 if you didn't strike the other vehicle, it is your fault for loosing control.
3 the only way this will effect any records (which seems to be your concern, why Idont know) is -if- you involve insurance....

so fix the bike for $200 and ride on ?

1. I believe he is at fault. He reported it also anyways.
2. If I would've hit him it is very possible I could've been hurt way beyond what I have now.
3. I was debating calling them, but after sharing my story with friends and family they all told me it couldn't of possibly been my fault. I'm very young, I had no idea people blow off insurance all the time. 

I sure hope it's only going to be $200

UPDATE:
Just listened to my voicemail, the other guys insurance is accepting responsibility! My witness just told me they contacted him and he told them exactly what he saw. Phew, you guys had me worried.

Bad news is that they deemed the bike a total loss. Since we can't clear salvage titles here in Cali, I think I will just buy the bike, look for another better condition GS and swap any parts I see fit.

Still waiting to see the figures though. Hopefully they don't want to much to buy the bike back.

Maybe you can't clear a salvage title, but you CAN buy a frame with a clean title! I have done that from a California bike breaker. It was like $200 plus shipping.
Do that. Move the good parts. Buy what is busted. Build a new bike!
You don't care what year unless you want the "F" fairing. I put a 2006 engine in Phenix with a 1993 frame.

I got parts. I give you best price!

The is what was done to my 06, I was told the title was all messed up after he bought it and he just bought new frame and transferred everything over.
