friday night some asshole decided to customize the back of my bike at a redlight and run over my foot in the process!he got out of the truck and threw what was left of his 12 pack in the ditch
damn that really sucks. and that looked to be a pretty nice bike from what i can see. im assuming you called the law and his ass got locked up for the night?

yeah he was trying to get us to not call the cops but yeah he went to jail for dui
Damn bro. Glad to hear that you are alright besides the foot. It could have been soo much worse. Take his drunk ass to court. Finally make the laws work for you.
i hope he has insurance. looks like the bike is repairable as long as that bent up exaust didnt break anything off of the head from gettin shoved forward like that.
-justin
no, but it broke the rear subframe from the exhaust hanger. it's fixable as long as insurance doesn't total it
yeh they like to just total them out for some reason. mine was pretty much justcosmetic stuff and they totalled it out.

They look at cost of repair vs. replace. If the total cost to repair is 60% or something like that of the blue book value they total it.
right. i knew they did it like that. also i was informed of this when i totalled mine by the insurance adjuster. when the adjuster comes to look at it there are things ont he bike that you tell him you can live with or youll let slide if your trying to save the bike from being totalled and then fix it yourself. i know you did nothing wrong to have to have out of pocket costs but im saying if it has sentimental value or a rare bike or something like that.

a bike can be layed down and basically be called a loss to insurance. nobody wants to fix them, and thats why you can find so many cheap bikes that have minor damage!!
