So to extend my streak of bad luck.....

1. Got ripped of by business partner for large sum of money
2. Truck gets broken in to (over $8k damage)
3. Motorcycle gets stolen ($5k damage, which I haven't recieved a dime)
4. I go to Tijuana for 3 months, get jacked and robbed by the TJ police

And then yesterday......Black Knight, MastaP and myself where getting a bite to eat after riding for awhile to come outside and see my bike on its side, and a black Range Rover over the top of it.

So got all the information from the guy, he was decent about it, a harley rider himself. But just sucks.

Damaged includes:

mirror
turn signal popped out
upper side fairing cracked around turn signal housing
foot peg cracked in half
lower fairing cracked
devil exhaust scratched and dented
plastic tail section damage
ruined frame sliders on frame and bars

The unlucky streak continues.....lucky me

Wait. the guy RAN OVER your bike? It sounds like you should have A LOT more damage than what you listed... Wheels bent at all? frame, subframe, & forks all straight & unscratched?

Damn dude! Good luck with all that! Hope your luck turns around!

Well it was more like he punted the bike, not actually ran over. When I looked outside the rear of his car was over my bike but he didnt actually run it over per se' He just ran into it.

Did all those bad things happened here in Colorado? If that... it's time for change/move. I would, I heard Seattle is the best city to live in.

Insurance question for ya'll.

My insurance company is giving me 2 options.

1. Have this guys insurance (Hartford) come and look at the bike and have them take care of it.

2. Have my insurance take care of it (Geico). They said they would have someone come out and take a look. Either write a check immediately or have one mailed to my minus my deductible. Then they would go after the guys insurance company and get the cash.

Anyone have experience with this situation?

Going through this now with my harley.

I am able to cover the deductible so I am using my insurance company. This guarantees me that I take it where I want and get it fixed. My ins company will go after other company and was told that since the other person was cited and claimed fault I will most likely get my deductible back after wards when the fighting between insurance companies is over.

I did not want to haggle with the other dudes insurance to make this right. Worse case is I lose my deductible but being able to get the stuff fixed at the place I want is more important right now.

Hopefully I dont get burned....

Good luck

John

I have decided to go with my insurance company, Geico. They came out today and did an estimate. Nice guy, he is a rider himself along with his girl. The estimate to get it fixed is $3600, so they are going to cut me a check. Great experience, Geico gets a +1 here. Having a bike paid for has its advantages!!!

The other insurance adjuster hasnt even called to come out and look at it, I can already tell it wouldnt be a good situation if I was to deal with them.

So next is to pick a shop and get 'er done.
