I got a phone call from the insurance company yesterday and they told me they had finally finished the estimate on the motorcycle. While an initial estimate had been done months ago before it was even taken to the shop, at the shop they performed another crash inspection and they found damage that the insurance adjuster had missed, so the insurance company had to go out and verify this new damage and write a second check. Now that all the estimates are done, today I went over to the shop and finalized all of the parts selections and talked to the parts guy, Joe, and the sevice technician, Sid, to get everything finalized. Now I just have to wait for all the parts to come in and the work to be done. With any luck all the work should be done by the end of May, probably before I am back from Philadelphia and New York, but I won’t be able to go pick it up until after then. While I will have and already have missed a couple of nice riding days, I will still have at least 3 months of ride time. Hopefully I can put some miles on it.
