I'm literally still shaking my head when I think about the dump truck.

The shop just called. They are considering the bike a total loss. $9711 to fix it. :panic: I wonder what my insurance company will say to that. They estimated $3600 worth of damage. My insurance company has not called the shop yet and boy are they going to get a surprise. Literally a new exhaust, track plastics, front wheel, and rear sets, this bike will be a killer track bike. Frame, engine, swingarm, forks, triple tree, clip ons, headlight, taillight, and gas tank are all pristine.

If they are pristine why such a price tag? It obviously needs a bit of work.

Check because you might be able to buy the bike back. In FL it's a 20/80 rule. If the damage is more than 80% of the insured value then it's totaled, and you can buy it back for 20% of the insured value.

EDIT: Marko, they might include cost of labor, plus OEM parts are fucking expensive as hell. I'll bet the OEM exhaust and rim alone would cost $2500.

Yeah good point.

The OEM exhaust system is over $2500 alone and $75/hour shop labor rate makes things add up quick.

Damn, that's a hell of a lot more than I was guessing. Plus they'll replace everything, for instance on the rim, they'll replace the rim, brake discs, bearings, etc all individually.

Back on topic, sucks that you went down but sounds like it could have been much worse.
