Default Estimator was just here

The Estimator came by this morning.

I showed him around the F2, pointed out the imapact spots,
the damage to the other side where it came to rest.

It was about like I expected.

He'd say what could, would happen in each step.

When he said something that "could happen" that I was agreeable with,
I said ok.

Whe he said soemthing I didn't like and at one time sounded vaguely

non-caring or not in my favor, I let him know what would be the repurcussions,
assuring him nothing was personal, but it just facts as they will have to or
will not have to occur.

He didn't like that, and got a little nervous, and a wave of..oh let's
call it self-preservation based caution mode, (fear in his eyes).

if I did not end up satisfied with his company's work.

I think he appreciated my sincerity.


He apologized for taking so long to come out...etc. etc.


Once I knew that within the next 3 days I would know what options

of payment the company would offer me, I wished him a good day,

gave him a firm handshake, then asked for his business card for any

records I might have to keep on file, should I be...displeased.


Told him to have a Merry Christmas, a good day, and shut his van door

for him, so he could get right to work on it.



Polite, professional, and FIRM.

I think I left the meeting more comfortable than he did.

Business as usual.

We will see.

Yes, he knows.

The iffy thing was that the repair estimate and the NADA and KBB dealer list price are very close together.

"they may offer you a cash settlement."

"They may total it and write you a check for $3200."

So I said, "you give me $3200, take my bike, and I have to go buy another one?

All because you insured a poor driver?"

"How come I have all the hassle?"



He said he would do everything to give me every option, and that he has been with this company for 11 years and they always handle
things where the claimant is happy.

It was a gunfight using words, eye contact, and spit wad straws.

He could see I was serious about what I expected in the end.

I let him know me, and he let me know how many options I will have.

Oh, if they do total it, he said I will still keep the two non OEM parts, carbon fiber tail, and Scorpion exhaust.

I would be satisfied with that.

$3200...and my custom parts.

I guess...but what a pain in the ***.

But again, I don't trust any company or anyone until they show me they are truthful.

And what exactly are you gonna do if you're not satisfied... ? Beat him up? Beat up the insurance company?

I think it's hilarious you prefaced, "polite, professional, and FIRM," with, "I saw the fear in his eyes."

I mean, first of all, where did you learn the written English language? Where do you get off being such a tool? Are you always so damn... weird? Why do you think anyone here cares to read anymore about your, "Mr. Badass," dialogue? Are you going to beat us up if we don't agree with you?

Take a chill pill, Obanion. They're just kids. If you want you can flunk the 12th grade again and get 'em next year.

Tool.

Well, I'm glad you scared the poor insurance adjuster who probably already knows he has a crappy job. Now he thinks some tool is going to be haunting him if he don't get what he wants.

And, "you don't trust people or companies until they prove they can be trusted."

Are you for real? Everything you type seems to oozethis ego of yours and quite frankly, your bad-boy stories have become rather bland and pedantic, please put a sock in it.

The more I think about this and consider the facts and all the hassle and time spent, the more I just want to ream their butts.

What...the...*****?!!!!!!!!

I better hear that they just sent me a check for lessee...

$3,492. 95 for a little more than dealer list and your time and gas and patience.

I got the feeling at the last that he was going to recommend a total at $3200, to avoid any other damage I might find which I told him occured in the race bearing, frame area. The thing turns like s***.

Also, I mentioned the bent bar and throttle not being self return and what a road and riding hazard that was or could be.

Make it $5,000...overnighted.[:@]

RCR...

He said a salvage title could be bought...

He named all the options and finally emphasized the better ones as he was getting info from inside his van.

I won't mention the exact details of our conversation, as it's private, there may be litigation, and that walking austisic tourrette syndrom in quotes above me couldn't comprehend it anyway.

You're the ultimate tool man...****ing first prized *** hat.
