I let a friend ride my bike and he ended up wrecking on it. I believe the bike is totalled. The frame has a dent in it, forks are bent, front wheel is cracked, and the farings are messed up along with the gas tank. Its an 06 with 2600 miles on it. What do you think the insurance company will give me for it when they total it out?

 

You'll need to research the value of the bike yourself. I don't know if Kelly Blue Book or NADA does bikes, but a Yahoo or Google search should yield results for value calculators. Is your buddy ok? Is your insurance ok with the fact that your buddy was riding it instead of you? I know that my bike only goes out with someone else on it who leaves their car and keys (of equal or greater value)and/or who I know would not have a problem paying if they did wreck.

 

report it stolen!! lolz =] j/k

 

that's terrible that is exactly why I never let people even sit on my bike unless they are a topless girl

 

oh and to answer your question you probably will end up paying $$$$ even after the insurance pays you for it if you dont have it paid off it's almost asured you will be upsidedown

 

do you have any of those photos ? [sm=Flahssssss.gif]

 

yup, i worked at a topless bar for 3 years.

oh maybe i woulda won ride of the month if i posted them? lol

 

Sorry to hear about the bike, D. I'll bet your friend feels like utter **** about it, and you are out a bike for a while. Sometimes you might seem like a dick, but it is best to say no when someone asks to ride your bike. Whatever happens, I'm sure the insurance company will do their best to screw you out of as much money as they can...that's what they do best. Good luck, and keep us posted.

 

That's why I never let anyone touch my bike. Sorry for the loss man. Good luck.

 

Damn, that's sucks. At least it was insured and everything. You have any pics?
