I was going to say that he was probably still jacked up on adrenaline from riding on the back with Wayne!
From talking to you the night before the accident at EOM, I know the red wasn't your favorite color (I'll just assume that was the alcohol talking). Anyway, hope you get a color that you like better this time around. Still brand new 2015's at fantastic prices to be had. Like you said, at least you weren't seriously hurt.

Yeah, it's a concrete corn cob. So?
So that's two FJR's totaled for sure. Wayne - is yours totaled as well (even though you got some tools and will fix it)?
Dayum but this year was rough on the equipment.

Just got off the phone with USAA. Smoothest claim I've ever walked through.
Bike is totaled. Salvage value was $710, deductible was $500. I'm keeping the bike and will repair it. Michigan law is such that a vehicle over 6 model years old does not require a salvage title, so no inspection / certification after repairs to re-register.

3 bikes totaled. 2 minor casualties of war. A silver AE had his AE linkage snap off at the attach points on the sub frame just like what happened to Yamafitter.
My AE got the S2 spider bite when I was about an hour away from Clocklaw's house in Tennessee. Thank God the bike kept running. I had NO electonics at all but, the engine kept running and I could manually shift the gears. He towed me to the EOM. A pit crew from heaven showed up and spent all the next day (When they could've been riding) and had it fixed by dinner time. The NARCAR community would've been proud. I was the only one that got to ride my bike home. It was a 810 mile trip and the bike was flawless! Thanks, Guys! I'll never forget it.

It was mostly cosmetic but Yamaha tupperware is pricey. The bike is 11 years old with 60,000 miles (nothing for an FJR but high miles to a lot of folk). So a couple pieces of plastic, a saddlebag and a muffler plus labor was probably enough to reach the 60% of value SC total loss threshold.Thought your's was just cosmetic...4 bikes totaled
I'm keeping it and fixing it. And looking for deals on Airglide pants and jacket, a Shoei RF and a pair of boots.

All you guys with totaled bikes should take an inventory of what can be salvaged. Somebody might be able to fix one for a bit less cash eh?
