Hey all, just got some incredible news. My bike is done! I didn't post it on here because I didn't want to think about it but July 16th I was backed over by a fertilizer truck. I kid you not. I took a right turn following him into a shopping/restaurant area and even though its still a 4 lane road (2 each way) he decided he wanted to do some spraying behind him...and he BACKED ME OVER!!! I was probably 15-20 feet behind him when he started. Backpedaled as fast as I could but when he hit the gas I couldn't keep up, sat the bike down and got in his mirror. Reverse light missing, no sound emitted in reverse, no stay back 50 feet sign and to top it off he said he didn't hear me cause he had his radio "blaring".
At any rate. Everything needed replacing from the forks on down. Aftermarket accessories saved it from being totaled (excuse #146). The insurance adjuster wrote 2 estimates. One for the bike and one for the aftermarket once he saw it in person. One month waiting for the company who hit my bike to decide not to pay out of packet and FINALLY get an adjuster to come out and get an estimate together. Another month waiting for my backordered SE fork to arrive. Yes singular. Kawasaki only made one extra pair of SE forks and another guy beat me to the punch on one of them. Wouldn't you think Kaw would at least make another fork to have a full set in reserve???? 2 estimated ship dates passed with nothing but last week it finally came in. Called Liberty Cycle this morning to see if it had come in and he said it was DONE!
I bet you're wondering why the heck I'm still one here. They're finalizing the billing. JUST got a call back. WOO-HOO! Hope this post made sense. I'm going to pick up my baby.
