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.

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.

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