ouch, that's pretty steep... =( when i got tapped and tipped over, my repairs were around $1200 i think- and most of it was all plastic! <lol> a turn signal here, a slider there, a peg here, a bar end there, slap on some super high labor charges, & before u know it, yah- it racks up really fast. plus the dealers always write up the repair with full msrp on parts & labor since they know they are going to try to milk the insurance company. in reality, the actual bill ought to be at least 75 or 80% of what they put down on paper... well, i hope that either they fix it or give you enough cash to buy another one. sucks, but each mishap is a lesson learned. hang in there man, and did they tell you when they're making a decision on the claim?
Got Rear Ended

i'd be pissed at the fact that i'd have to restrain myself during the break in period of a new bike again!
W
whatever
that sucks.... looks like it can be fixed..... read some where they say to have your bike in gear at red lights with the clutch in.
Until the car or two behind me come to a stop, I never take it out of gear at a red light. AND, I'm always watching in my mirror as the car approaches, flashing my brake light as them come closer. I also split the traffic up to the front of the light every chance I get...not so much to be in front of traffic, but to not be vulnerable to being rear ended.
I really wish that was legal here.
Same for me. I always "pump" the brake to flash my brake light and I look behind if they slow down. Also I never stop right in the middle of a car in front of me. I always park myself right line up with the side mirror of the car in front of me (driver side) So if shit happen and the car behind you, well hopefully it will pass by you and not into you. Because even if the car behind you is stop... what about the car behind him??? My buddy got stuck in one of those bumper to bumper gang bang with his BMW (car) this week... just make me think.
I don't know if I would believe crap from your brother....the way he threw you down for that ticket...you sure he didn't instigate something prior?
Nah this is a different brother that I'm cool with. I have 3 older brothers, the bad, the good and the neutral.
This one was riding a Honda CBR F4i
Well going to actually make out and not incur any loss from the total loss. Insurance company valued the bike nicely.
With this new potential for a new bike I am looking into some other options other than the FZ6R. It was real, it was fun, but it wasnt really fun.
Thanks for everything guys!
