CRASH UPDATE!!!!!!

**BikerDoc** · 11-17-2011, 04:13 PM

It took two weeks for the dealer to come up with detailed pricing on my crashed 2010 Spyder RTS SM5, but when they finally did it was as I expected - a Trailer truck will total a Spyder... While I suffered anxiety during the wait the outcome was pleasantly surprising.. The insurance company is paying me $23655 for a 2010 Spyder with 21000 miles
plus reimbursement for my mods and full sales tax on all.... WOW!!
I am in the queue to take delivery on a 2012 Lava Bronze Limited with Camel Seat (Yeah I know some of you don't like the new seat but I think its elegant). Now all I can do is wait and hope to be on the road by year end.

Take the money and run.

on your new RTS. Don't worry about the color--I amsure there are those out there that don't like the Black color like I have either.

**DynamoBT** · 11-17-2011, 04:20 PM

Glad the insurance company has come through for you!!! I love that Lava color!! Don't have a preference of seats. Get what YOU want. Because you are the only one you need to please!!!!

Hope Christmas comes early!!!

**BajaRon** · 11-17-2011, 04:24 PM

Good deal! Don't let anyone talk you out of what you want. There was another post recently that a guy got a good deal an a nearly new Spyder because the previous owners let a bunch of HD owners talk them out of it.

Ride what you want and let the other guy do the same. Doesn't mean we don't all have an opinion. But if we all agreed there would only be 1 motorcycle for sale.

**Big Arm** · 11-17-2011, 04:44 PM

Glad it all worked out for you...........What insurance company do you have ???......

Hope you are healing well....
Thanks for the update

**Love2Ride** · 11-17-2011, 05:08 PM

I haven't been out here much so I didn't know about the accident.

I hope you're okay.

Sounds like the ins. co. was AWESOME.

I can't wait to see your new ride. I didn't even know you could get a different color seat on the newer bikes. Now I have to go see.

As for whether or not someone else likes it... pfffft! They probably won't be invited to drive it anyway.

That's why they make VARIETY. Just look at us... VARIETY baby.

**Spydeb** · 11-17-2011, 05:28 PM

Glad you are ok most of all. Not the way you want to upgrade, but REALLY like your pick GREAT color combo!

**Sarge707** · 11-17-2011, 05:56 PM

I love that color - Its a warm light brown. Wish I had One!!!!!!

**SpyderDen** · 11-17-2011, 05:59 PM

Just saw the Lava at our local owners event. AWESOME!! Looks way better in the sun than the pictures show.

AWESOME!!!!! Glad everything has worked out in your favor. Nice choice on your selection of the color combination on the 2012.

**SpyderAnn01** · 11-17-2011, 06:17 PM

Good deal. Who is your insurance carrier? Sounds like a good company to do business with. You certainly were lucky that you weren't hurt. We had a similar accident near me last week where a semi was backing into a drive and a car hit it. The passenger in the car was killed and the driver was critically injured.

I love the lava but haven't seen it in person yet.

**docdoru** · 11-17-2011, 06:36 PM

Good choice for the seat

**johnnyg** · 11-17-2011, 06:36 PM

**Campverdefela** · 11-17-2011, 06:40 PM

Good for you!

**Boriken** · 11-17-2011, 06:57 PM

Nice color combo

and enjoy your new ryde..

**Marker** · 11-17-2011, 07:19 PM

Glad that your insurance co took care of you and things worked out for you. I am sure the lava bronze color and camel colored seat will look awesome in person.

Please post pics when your new

arrives

**cjackg** · 11-17-2011, 08:22 PM

Wow! That's an impressive settlement! Sounds like they paid off at near full replacement cost.

Glad to hear you did well because you sure deserve it after that experience!

**StanTheMan** · 11-17-2011, 08:49 PM

I'm happy to hear the insurance company took good care of you. I've seen the Lava Bronze and it looks awesome (better than any photo I've seen). Enjoy your new ride!

**effgjamis** · 11-17-2011, 08:54 PM

I take it that it was the truckers insurance and not yours.....whom did the settlement..... Pain and suffering ?????? is that next or part of the truckers insurance pay out?? Just a curious ole f..t would like to know. Of course if it be none of my business then that is ok too.

I am happy that you are getting some action and replacement.

Good for you, and glad your okay. Very nice that it worked out for you with your insurance company. Cool pick of the 2012 Lava Bronze Limited with Camel Seat. I think it will be top notch. I have not seen one in person yet, but I also think it will look elegant, very rich.

**Mr. White** · 11-17-2011, 10:07 PM

Glad to hear you are okay. You got a good settlement and without a hassel, I hope. Very good.

**GloryRyders** · 11-18-2011, 07:16 AM

on the settlement, it sounds more than fair!

Hope the new ryde comes in soon!

**Bob Denman** · 11-18-2011, 08:00 AM

As another ryder sitting here waiting on his bike being fixed; I salute you!

**ijon1** · 11-18-2011, 08:31 AM

Nice to hear you were not hurt. Sounds like a good insurance company. Get that new Spyder and ride it like you stold it.

**Pandy** · 11-18-2011, 04:04 PM
