My problems pale in comparison to those in the Rockaways, Strong Island, and Staten Island. But if any of you have first hand experience in the insurance industry, I am looking for advice. Progressive is giving me an absurdly high repair estimate using new-OEM parts. I can get the parts for much cheaper, and do the work myself. Goal is to prevent the bike from being "totalled."

Let me know. Thanks.

Thanks and sorry about the bike. Although I work for an Insurance company (bankrupt) I don't know anything about insurance and can't help you. Sorry!!!

Bloomberg declares odd-even gas rationing.
http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/pdf/eo/eo_170.pdf

It says for "passenger automobiles" starting Friday, but doesn't list motorcycles as an exemption.

Even number ended plates buy on even numbered days.
Odd & letter ended plates buy on odd days.

Starts Friday 6am.

Well in response I can say there are no issues in Yonkers, all gas stations that are open have lines no longer than 2 or 3 cars. Some are imposing a $40 limit. Come on up!

Read Mayor Mike's executive order on gas rationing and while it makes no specific mention of motorcycles it does reference passenger cars several times as the vehicles that are subject to this throw-back to 1973 law.

Just a facial wound, he'll live.

I swore I wasn't gonna wait in line for gas, but I caved. Woke up at 5 am. Waited 40 min. Filled my 5 gal can and car ($40 limit).

I am ashamed, but at least I was able to ride in today.

Where did you fill up & have to wait? I'll be riding in NJ tomorrow & I hope that I won't have to run into many lines after, what seems like, much of the panic has died down.

Hey folks, just wanted to let you NYC'ers know that there is a Motorcycle Swap Meet today, from noon - 5pm, at Motorgrrl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tons of parts for builds, chances to donate or volunteer for Hurricane Sandy relief, and a general good time and a chance to hang out with other bike enthusiasts.

location: 117 Metropolitan Avenue (BTW Berry and Wythe).

Hope to see you there!

Ravyn · 11-10-2012, 05:38 AM

Definetely not alone
