That is great news!

Excellent!

I checked—as moderators do—to see where this thread was up to.

It opened on a new page saying

"Re: Bad Accident
That is great news!"

Took me a while to work out.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. Maybe the thread title should be changed to "recovery from bad accident".

More good news. The insurance company is offering me $8226 for the bike and the full $415 for towing. The appraiser, a motorcycle affectionato, factored in some of my many mods. I'm accepting the offer and hope they come through on the medical bills.

Can you salvage any parts?

They would knock off $1500 on the settlement if I kept the bike. There are a number of salvageable parts but I might not break even if I sold them. Plus there's the hassle of a salvage license.

It doesn't show up in the pictures but my brother in law said my forks were bent. Plus the bike is messed up on both sides.

I was thinking about your Mr. T parts if there were some. When my truck was totaled my insurance let me take what ever I wanted, so I kept the camper shell. Sounds like your insurance is not as friendly.

After 31 days in the hospital and rehab I go home today. In another 30-45 days I should be walking and hopefully driving. Over the winter I'll swing a leg over a motorcycle or two at my local dealer. Then I'll be in the market for a CB1100, hopefully a 2017. I'd love to get my hands an RS. Please Honda USA! End the drought.

I want to thank everyone for the words of encouragement and support. It's meant a lot. I'm ready to put this thread to bed and enjoy this incredible forum over the fall and winter.
