Fellas,
Thanks for all the support, doing better and riding again, it was a thrill to be back in the saddle today.
My 2014 "Black Beauty" is ready for pickup! The insurance company opted to fix it. It will be an emotional reunion methinks...

Running like a top
Great news. Hope you can move past it.
Really worrisome to me, this whole trend of drivers that are just less attentive - most of it attributed to cell phones and texting.

Fellas, it was a glorious ride...bike seems right to me, zipping in and out of traffic and running like a thoroughbred again!
One issue, the bike wouldn't start after shutting her off, right after the accident it did the same thing, never a problem before, something happened to the battery after laying down so long....I told both the insurance adjuster and the repair shop this but of course they both ignored me....well I got their attention now
One last detail is the concept of diminished value...with both a police report and an insurance claim I fear this bike's VIN will be reported and with a collision on it's VIN I suspect it would be tough to sell (if I ever decide to do that). Anybody have any insight on how best to handle? The repair shop did not want to get involved, although they told be 50% drop in market value is common

BTW, was able to start the bike with key on, paddling the bike with clutch pulled in, and releasing clutch in 2nd gear...
