Well, the night started out great

Even better than that $5843 + 450 + 500 = 6793 +$1500 = $8293 means Freds a Champion! Even if the $950 was paid upfront rather than deducted before final payment of the $5843 for the bike he did bloody well Have fun with 'The Phoenix' Fred.

 
I would like to give a shout out to Foremost insurance. They made this really painless. All I had to do was email them pictures.


State Farm totaled mine & put a value of around $4000 - After hard work & schooling them on the mods I finally got them up to around $4750ish....... Then they deducted about $2100 or so for the "salvage value" so I ended up with only $2650 but fortunately mine was not near as damaged as yours so I was able to get it back to 95% (chose to straighten the fender without painting it - chrome trim molding covered it up) with that money.
Also I was the "claimant" (hit by their insured) so I got another $1020 for rental they owed me since it took them 34 days to accept liability & settle the loss @ $30 per day rental vehicle
So your company really came through for you man!
All the vehicle misfortunes that you've had back to back to back, you really deserved a good outcome
