I just got off the phone with the insurance adjuster. My bike has a grand total of $2000 in damage. Well....his words were, "right around $2000". They are not going to scrap it, which means my bike has to be worth more than the $3-3500 I thought it was worth, cuz they would not dump $2k into a bike only worth $3k.
The good new is that my bike is already fixed. I did it the other day cuz I was tired of running around with a busted mirror and flasher. He saw them and tried to con his way out of paying for them, but I just pulled out my registration for my 92 and told him those parts are from my other bike, and they are going back on it after mine is fixed.
Brand new mirror, flasher, lower fairing, clutch handle. it's all done except for the tail section. So I just made a sweet $2k in my pocket for this bs.....minus the cost of a new tail section and what what little I paid for the parts on ebay. I will buy another to replace my cracked one. It should leave me with at least $1500 in my pocket.
Pretty sweet, huh? My bike will go up for sale as soon as the paperwork is all done for $3k. It means I will get $4500 cash for a 93 that I only paid $3500 for 3 years ago. can't complain about that!
I think from now on, any time I want to sell a bike, I will strategicly locate in a parking lot near old ladies who can't see past their nose to get even more from it...lol.
