                      Tod, hopefully he had it insured as a classic so he'll get the "agreed value".

                      He still looks sick in the pictures!

                          I'm suprised he didn't start shooting! That sucks! regardless of what he gets paid it's not near what he had in it (not just talking figures here) i mean his time, blood, sweat, long hours, everything. Sometimes insurance people can't cover all that. I know when my ford was smashed the insurance guys pretty much pulled up said oh this was a 35 year old car hmm we'll give you 750$ for it since i could only prove that's what i had in it. I FREAKEN HATE INSURANCE! Shouldn't even be mandatory. I think you should have a check waiting on you at the end of a non incident year paying you back for not needing the insurance. Otherwise it's a (in my case) 80$ a month for state minimum on a 300$ truck piece of paper sitting in the glove box that never get's used!
                          Yes it's a damn nice bike, yes it's in REALLY good condition, yes it would be a shame to chop it, BUT damn how cool would it look with ape hangers?
