Bike's just all apart right now. I haven't yet seen the check they tell me is in the mail. Progressive has been pretty easy to work with. I made a list, got a visit from Flo (aren't all Progressive employees named Flo?). She turned my list into an estimate with no fuss. and.....they're gonna pay me $45/hr to fix it...  I have ALL the big service items to do also, so it'll be a little while. I almost rode Mustangshelly's DR200 to town today,.... but the 28 degree weather found me in my pickup. I know....I'm going soft.....

I got my bike chained down to the trailer 2 days ago. Started reefing on it with my metal working tools (you know: stone axe, long piece of driftwood). It's about halfway back to normal; straighter than me, I'd say! Might need a bud over to reef both sides at same time, just another excuse to drink more PBR. I've seen lots worse, see it in the mirror every morning when I go to shave. Got new fender and tail light coming, needed those anyway they were hammered from use down south. Need a new front disk cover, that is now "acerbis-ancient" technology. This bike just will not lay down and die; it's gonnal hoik wheelies for the Mexican militar drug & weapons checkpoints again! Just might veer to the left a wee bit. Needs a 990-slash sticker. Four more and I'm an ace!

My rear subframe got a bit twisted up, too, .....but it's been welded on and reinforced so much that I didn't bother claiming that. It just needs one of those special metal-working tools like yours, Hells. Rest assured that the biggest piece of your old disc cover has become "Garage Art"
