If you think it is enough to total it. Definitely turn it in. You will get more for your bike than if you sell it and then you can buy that new one you want.

cover for my honda I have found for $60, they aren't that expensive. The woodcrafts are like $200 retail and thats the replaceable slider ones.

Fortunately yours doesn't look that bad!
I would laugh my ass off if I saw that. I ride a yzf600r too and you have to really try to get the wheel up in the first place. Very hard to accidentally loop it unless doing wheelies.

well I'm gonna have them replace all the plastics... that'll be over 1000.... the case cover 200 for a stock one (guessing)... so not enough to total it... the rest is gear... $500 helmet... $200 jacket, $120 pants, $200 gloves, and $180 boots...

funny thing is... I wasn't worried about my gear as it all held up great... didn't even hit my head... but the insurance lady said if I'm already over the 500... claim all my gear.

I don't know that I would claim any of it. I'd buy a case cover and some frame sliders and call it good. But that's me.

Glad to hear YOU aren't too bad. The bike can be repaired/replaced.

Good luck and hope you heal quickly

Nice to hear you are ok. Your bike can be fixed. When you get back to Korea go to Seol and Hooker Hill there used to be a bar called the Hard Rock. They make a great Long Island Ice tea. LOL Good luck and hope to see you next year.

Glad you're ok Ebbs...

Not sure about AK laws... but in michigan, scratch on frame = totalled... so claiming it might not be a good idea.

well, at least ebbs finally got some decent seat time on he bike before this happened. i guess if it were gonna happen, it's good it happened after all the festivities were over...at least he didn't miss out on that.

glad you're okay, ebbs.
