Guest ASEViffer Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Can anyone tell me what to do next…do I take it to the auto body shop to make sure it is still straight and can handle high speeds?

Treat it as an actual accident - what's the difference of backing into a motorcycle than backing into an automobile. Get their insurance and submit it as a claim on them. Then move away... :goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Motor_Ref Posted June 14, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 14, 2007 you call your insurance agent, :pissed: If s/he has any experience in the business s/he should be able to advise you. Help with situations like this is part of what you pay them for. It is a good thing that you weren't on it at the time. How bad is the damage? Did you see this happen? What did the neighbor say?

OOOOOOO that B^%&*!!!!! Sounds like that should be enough to total it, if they do, take the money, retain salvage, and make some money by fixing it yourself, i made 1100.00 on mine.

Thanks guys for you help and humor! No worries, you can easily get any part needed from Honda. :thumbsup: Take a breath and get an estimate from the Ins. adjuster or Dealer, without knowing how much damage you have No idea what to do or how to deal with it. Everything will be a simple bolt on replacement, so if you get an estimate, collect a check and repair it yourself. Order the parts here Call them at 800-785-6761 (OH) for OEM parts, free shipping over $100 and around 30% off retail. You'll make money on the parts and they also pay you $60-80 hr for labor at shop rates. You will come out like a bandit and have a grand or two for Bling, so don't worry, be happy! :goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer chonsey Posted June 14, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 14, 2007 Go the insurance route. It will lessen the chance for bad feelings later. That way, whatever the out come, the insurance company will settle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer solohvs Posted June 14, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 14, 2007 My insurance company "totaled" my old 750 Highthawk when the wind blew it over in a wild storm. I was NOT prepared for that... but I took the cash and put it towards a newer bike. The insurance company would NOT insure the bike with a reconstructed title after salvage. Just liability - no comp / collision. I might have made a different choice if I were nt so shocked - I liked that bike and I could not repalce it for what I was paid. Two weeks ago a woman backed into me at a traffic light as she tried to trigger the light to change... a micro scrap above the turn signal (6th generation) and it was declared an unreportable accident IF the two parties settled. And we did. Upper cowl - $550 US and $120 for the local shop to install - $670 total and I'm off to find some touch up paint. Ron Ayers is a great place to start looking for parts that are scraped up... Will your neighbor "settle" and pay to to repair the bike? The insurance company won't walk away from the accident once it is reported. So sit down and think things over before you cross the point of no return with the insurance people. It might keep things calm if a third party settles things... sorry to hear about the accident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
