yeah his insurance will pay for it but blue book my bike is worth $8750, so they say. my bike will then be totaled but i still owe $11000.so i have to come up with the difference.maybe the broken ankle will make some of that up.

Joker, your broken ankle should more then make up for the differnece, rule of thumb is whatever your medical bills are multiply it times 3 and thats what you should walk away with, you need to talk to an lawyer

I think I'd fight this in court... you lost the bike because of their driver's neglect. I can see your insurance giving you this story if the bike was stolen and you didn't have replacement/gap insurance, but they a-hole ran you over and now they don't even want to replace your bike. Court time.

Oh... sorry man, I hate to hear you lost your ride. I wouldn't trade my 600RR for anything else right now or 5 years from now.
