The push back was on receipts. they want VIN numbers and receipts on parts that I had hanging on the wall prior to or were bought already as i was planning on upgrading the bike. Things like the grip heaters, master cylinder (heck i still have a couple universal ones laying around), the headlight, and a pair or flatter handle bars. I tried explaining that this was the 3rd of this bike I have owned and parts just accumulate.
The bike is a 2009 Vstar 250 that still only has about 5k miles on it. You would never know it was wrecked. (though the grip heater wires still need tucked away)
Bubba, the deer managed to get its head in front of the headlight while I was doing 30ish. The damage was saved in large part due to the cushion the bike had going down the road on top of me. The exhaust was scuffed, the tank has a dime sized dent in it, the head light and mount were bent, and the handle bars and master cylinder were trashed. Killed the deer which I enjoyed cooking up. I went through it pretty well and have test rode it as well. I checked the forks out and even gave the entire thing every bit of maintenance I can think of.
As far as getting rid of it and eating the loss, the bike- like all my vehicles- was fully covered. I paid $1800 for it. The insurance totaled it over cosmetic damages (new tank $400, new exhaust $350, ect) that for a first bike I am not concerned with. Since I had all the pieces I figured I would throw them on, get and inspection and call it a day. The insurance paid me $800 more than I had in the bike so I could junk it for no loss. However that would be such a waste of a good bike. Oh well, maybe someone out there could use it. I will throw a $500 sign on it and see of it sells before I move. I am sure someone can get a lot of use out of her. Here she is on the day she was wrecked.
A Fellow Marine was making jokes about how he fit on the bike.
