Well things are turning out pretty good. There will be no storage fee to get the m/c out for the insurance co and the storage co made an agreement for a 1 time cost for storage as long as it needs. The insurance co understood the nature of my injuries, that I would not be able to fly home for a good month or maybe longer and that I would be driven to Vacaville CA to recover for my daughter is an RN there. Also that the m/c was a total loss an the being that the title is at my home, handing over the title would be a while. Now for the rest of the story. My machinest buddy (Goldwing owner) that made the cross bar and the left handle bar switch, said they are over due for a vacation to LA with some family and will drive his coach m/h to LA pulling my m/c utility trailer and pick up my 91 Venture. He'll probably borrow a family truck pulling my m/c trailer from LA to Vegas and back. Then on the way back pick me up in Vacaville. This all good with me, except my wife was hoping I'd give up riding all together and sell the 89 VR also. So I need to get my wife's support of this. I keep telling her that I'm a safer and better rider because of the accident.

9600 miles. It was in Pristine condition. I'm so sorry to see that 1 less 1st Gen are on the road.

The policy states that the max value of the bike and accessories (due to its age) would be $3500.00 after the deductible. Something that was not clear to me when the policy was written. I pretty much thought it was NADA book value. Guess I ASSUMED and you know what ASSUMED means. NADA book says $5075.00.

$300.00 is the salvage buy back price. I'm working on making some contacts so I can buy it back.

The Salvage of my 91 VR came in at $300.00. The insurance co said that this value is non negotiable. $300.00 seems quite high when I passed up a 90 VR not running with all plastic intact for $500.00 this spring. Go to my profile and look on the right side in my Album for several pictures of the 91 VR. I would be interested in your opinion.

If the salvage price is reasonable, I may want to buy my VR back from the insurance co. The key is finding someone who could take possession of it in Las Vegas, then maybe between several members could help ferry it back to Buckley WA where it could serve as a parts VR for my 89 VR. Please let me know if you can help or know of someone.
