I was on a great two day ride down to Gallipolis, OH and the Point Pleasant, WV area exploring the area. Gallipolis is a wonderful little Ohio river town, really laid back and found a great motel, the William Ann Motel, for $45.00 a night. Coming back yesterday I pulled off in a parking lot to pull on a long sleeve shirt and while wait for traffic to clear and pull out a guy backed into me and I went down. I was able to ride home five hours but was not the most comfortable ride I had ever had. I do not think I broke anything but feel pretty beat up, going to the the doctor tomorrow. I have not been down on a bike in 32 years.
Looks like rt mirror, and both saddlebag lids and main fairing rt side upper and lower panels, and the lower sub swingarm V shaped piece and the cap. The front muffler end cap also.
**** Is there any thing I should be looking for before the adjustor comes out?
**** Will these pieces normally just get replaced?
**** The persons that hit me was a true gentleman and his ins company has already set up a claims process including medical for me to see the doc tomorrow.
*****Like I said this is all new to me and even my ins co indicated to include missed work and pain and suffering in the claim. I am NOT the type of person to milk anything like this but plans for a biking vacation a couple of weeks may be off for now. Has anyone been through this and what is normal to ask for in terms of consequential damages?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Walt
wroman - sorry to read about all these unfortunate events, but i was wondering about the area you were riding in, as i will be doing a long, 8 day trip, all through east coast mountain ranges, and possibly up into wv and ohio if it's worth it (coming from florida). incredible roads where you were? hilly, curvy, etc.? would love to know so i can plan! Thanks!!
