Well I spent the entire day picking up the report, going over to the towing place to sign release papers for the lady's insurance company and then making what feels like 8 billions phone calls. The bike should get picked up tomorrow and then I should know in a day or two about the condition of things. I asked her about a buy back if it gets totaled and she said no one had ever asked her that questions so she wasn't sure.

I was told to swing by and pick up any belongings I had as well as the license plate if it wasn't too damaged. It doesn't look too bad but it definitely wasn't ridable last night. The gouge in the tire is small but very deep, the axle is out of line, the tail piece may be the only part broken although some of the tabs may have busted on the side pieces. I think the sub frame is ok but I didn't really check it out. No clue as to whether the tranny is fucked or not.

Even though the damage isn't all that bad, it wasn't fun to visit her like this. She wasn't happy about being stuck with damn little scooters, but obviously a big group of scooter people biffed it.

Assuming the adjuster is competent I want to say she will be back in my hands eventually although I really don't know.

That sux, the axle alignment could easily mean a new swing arm if it was twisted or tweaked or if the adjuster bolts were pushed through...

Although the first thing i though when i saw this picture was the words

"The king and his court"

Just because your hands are free doesnt mean your mind is free. As far as menuverablity, yes.... mentally, no!

I have had a Bluetooth for a year or so now. Not everybody acts high and mighty when they slip them on their ears. It is only on my ear in the car and at work! I bought the thing when I had to travel far between my apartment and parents house and not have to hold my phone to my ear for an hour. But its evolved nicley for work when I have to use both hands for folding.

Well on the bright side I found out that it isn't going to be totaled out for now.

State farm called me and said that they were going to send a specialist out to double check everything but they wouldn't be able to get someone out there until after I wanted to leave for Alaska. So the lady is going to let me take it to Alaska and then I have to send her two repair quotes for comparison and then send me a check.

Picking it up on Monday and heading for Alaska on Tuesday.

Man this has already been such an adventure and I haven't even left yet.
