official call from the lizard king today, Mr. Geico says the bike is totalled.... dammit anyway. So that means I get median book value, less a 500 dollar deductible. Great, not what it's worth and I get to take out another loan. I asked about buying it from the insurance company... seems IL state law prohibits that, guess too many people were totalling out vehicles then making profits on salvage.
They were kind enough to allow me to take my bags off and with the exception of those, anything else I want as long as I replace it with stock parts or something. Have to head out there tomorrow though as they are hauling it off Monday... anybody wanna overnite me a junk motor? Stock tires?
Timing couldn't be any worse either, dealer says the earlist they would expect the new mid size cruiser is late October, oh but it did look great in the pics! I don't think I can hang four months without a bike, he11 I'm already getting batty after a week. Watch, it will be sweeter than the Guzzi.
