This is why I also converted my front turn signals to extra bright, "always on" yellow LED lights (they blink OFF when turning, instead of on). Too many cars now have white lights on all the time and I want to look different than a car, and have a wider light pattern so I can be more easily seen, and from more angles, and not look as far away.Yeah, that last part. Ugh.
But yeah, for some drivers, nothing you do will matter.
Be sure you get your helmet and gear covered by the ins adjuster.Yeah? That's a thing? Thanks!!
Yeah? That's a thing?
However, if I let the level of tylenol in my system go down, the pain makes an appearance pretty quick.
Glad that works for you. It is sold all over and pushed by healthcare workers everywhere. But acetaminophen does absolutely nothing for me.... zilch, nada, zip. It is 100% ineffective; might as well take a pill of chalk. Interestingly, most people I know tell me the same thing- my Mom, sister, several friends, some coworkers.I'd rather take Advil, but the VA told me to lay off them my last visit cause my kidney function numbers were higher than normal. So it's either kill your liver with tylenol, or your kidneys with Advil. Helluva choice. Tylenol does work ok for me right now, but I'd like to take less of the crap. It's not good for me, i know.
Give me ibuprofen! Not only does it work, it helps healing through anti-inflammatory action.
If they total the bike, everything on it would go with it.Also have no idea of the value of the scoot. Never figured on getting rid of her, so didn't really care what it was worth. Guess I'd better research it.
Check that they cover everything you have on it.
ie; Make a detailed list. Find current prices for the accessories.
If you plan to remove things,,, get some help and get it done before they give you a check.

Generally, insurance companies go by the resale value of a comparably equipped vehicle. In this case, at 2008 Kawa Concours with XX miles. The use local ads, even Kelly blue book to determine how much to cut a check for. And they almost always lowball you so be ready to counter.
Can one insist on "replacement" instead of value? For example, I have a silver 2011 in extremely good condition. I wouldn't want "blue book value" I would want another silver 2011 in extremely good condition. If that means paying 20% more than blue book and having to pay to get it shipped from another state, so be it- THAT is the actual cost. And I would want their insurance company to pay that. Probably not how it works, though.I’m lucky in that I have USAA. As an insurance company, they are far more reasonable/accommodating than most.
Took some video of the carnage.

Boy that really crunched into a heapYep. The ignition still turns on, and the lower fork lights come on though. MondoMoto MM10 lights are tough!

Got a call from the other driver's insurance today. (Farm Bureau) The adjuster won't come to look at the bike until the 29th of May. I'm OK with that though. Won't be back in the saddle for a bit. I'm already missing it though.
On another note, I feel like I'm healing up remarkably well. I'm using my left arm/shoulder for more simple tasks, and the range of motion is increasing. The swelling in my right knee is going down. I have some concern about the weakness and pain in my left hand, and it hasn't really been addressed by the docs yet. I'll talk to the orthopedic dude about that on the 23d.
Just a little update for the crew. Thanks for the support, guys. Really appreciate it.
