Bob Denman - What To Do?
Now, I need to decide whether to eat it, or call the insurance company (GEICO) and put in a claim - I don't know what this would do to my rates - Bob D., do you have an opinion on whether to claim or not claim with insurance?

Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

What is your deductible, and how much is the repair bill?
I'm not familiar with West Virginia's DMV and Insurance laws, so it would be best to give your Agent a quick call, and ask what ramifications might come with a claim.
Good Luck!
Thanks, Bob.
My deductible is $250 - I haven't taken it to the dealer's yet, but I gat a "WAG" (a 'wild-assed guess") from someone who is familiar with this sort of thing of around $500 - without having pulled it apart to see what damage might be hidden.
I guess I'll call the GEICO and ask what a claim would do to my rates. Since it is paid for, at least I don't have a title holder making demands.
This falls under the heading "How to really screw up your day!"

Oh MAN...sorry to hear about that. You must have quite a lip into your driveway.
We just got our first Spyder two weeks ago, and I made note of the low ground clearance rather quickly. I can see a curb screwing up my day if I forgot about the low hanging nose.

Wow that asphalt must of sunk a long way. You should have at least 3-4 inches of clearance. I would be watching for sink holes next in front of my driveway.

I filed a claim with GEICO - an adjuster is coming over to the house - Friday if he can get free, otherwise, between 8 and 8:30 on Monday morning, for sure.
He said I can wait until the dealership tears it down and comes up with a total - if it isn't too much, I can simply cancel the claim and pay out of pocket, and not have to worry about my rates going up.
He said they have a very complex algorithm they run to determine how much rates may go up for an "at fault" claim, based on cost of repairs, driving record, how long someone has been insured with them (33 years, to date!) , and a bunch of other things.
I much prefer boring days to days with this kind of "excitement!"

I'm really sorry about your damage to your spyder. I hope you can get it fixed and riding agin soon. The Chinese have a curse that says, "may you live in interesting times" because of the stress that comes from those "interesting times". Like someone else said, don't let it get you down. Nobody was hurt.

feel your pain
I was loading mine on trailer and while watching wheels and ramp bumped the front rail of trailer. Now my shiny new ride has a burr due to my stupidity. Hope yours is fixed speedily.

Similar for me. Leaving a service station in June 70 miles from home, hit combo low spot and high spot. Skid plate purchased at Spyderfest was driven back and into right radiator. Allstate said I had safe driver rewards and waived deductible. Happy, happy. Entire process took several weeks and lucky I had another bike. Got it back in time for 3 long trips.
