Thats a bummer. It did happen to me about 20 years ago. My friend was sitting on the bike while I was paying for gas. A lady backed into it. He jumped off and wasn't hurt. I got new mufflers, clutch handle, turn signal and my tank repainted. I probably came out to the better on that deal.

Footnote and Pauly already spoke for me. Always Call the Fuzz to make a report and maybe check the driver for legit license/ insurance, wants, warrants, maybe citation depending on circumstances.
Don't even let the insurance company mention "totalled". Lastly, my bike was rear ended parked in a spot right F_ckin in front of the doors with a busy convenience store. Knocked bike over, they put it back on kick stand and fled. No one said shit! until I walk out and a guy describes the F 150 that took off that way. After bending some metal back, I take off looking for the SOB but you know how many 150s are out there! I actually stared one down but had no idea it was him, pulled over to call the cops. Guy must have thought I took his plate number down because he showed up while cops were there taking their report. Geico tried to screw me and took almost a year to get paid but came out ahead because everything custom I had was documented and of course I do all my own repairs. Hope you come out as well. Being claimant AND insured by same company may work in your favor but claim e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Let us no how it turns out Rusty.

:damn angry::damn angry:
i'd never've thunk that getting levelled in the gas station was even imaginable.
:ummm::ummm:
glad your head wasn't in the helmet, rusty. i'm sure the insurance'll get you back on the road.

When I saw this in the theater, I nearly lost consciousness I laughed so hard.
Seeing it again is still awesome!

That just plain sucks. Hopefully you end up with an even nicer max at the end of this, paid for by Allstate. :eusa_dance:

The big moment. An adjuster from Allstate will meet me at my cycle shop tomorrow where they will give him an estimate on the damage.I talked to the adjuster on the phone.He actually told me he doesn't know shit about motorcycles. I'm hope'n thats a good thing. After 10 years,Yamaha has no more carbon fiber in stock.So I'm going for the 07 look.I'll keep this thred alive long enough to let U guy's know what happend.:biglaugh:

Offer still stands Rusty - Get the cost estimate - Have them cut you the check - order parts - and Robert and I will do the labor - Charge - Beer for me and diet coke for Robert. We will supply tools - no problem!!! Pauly
Thanks Pauly, it's good to know I have such great back up.:You_Rock:
Watch out they don't saddle you w/an "unworthy for road use" designation, then it's only good for parts.
A good offer from the forum guys to help you! Maybe outofoptions will donate some parts to demonstrate he's not just about the shekels, when he sees what you need, and to show he can assist after the accident,in a bid to establish some goodwill.:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

Lesson learned for me. I always fuel up at this busy ass gas station up the road a ways from my house. think i'm gonna start going to the Sunoco 2 miles past it. I hope you're claim goes well. Putting myself in that position, I definitely would "want" to pull him out of the car by his eyelids.
