Well the vision is back minus the radio which should be back in 2 weeks due to the impact of the faring going into the center of the bike, who wooda thunk it?. The dealer gave me my bike back and will put the radio in while I wait when it comes back. He even let me have the bike back knowing that the full bill wasn't paid in full from the insurance claim which was pretty nice of him, but its just a matter of paper work from allstate which was great to deal with. I'm going to send them a check for $100.00 so the dealership can have lunch on me for doing a fine job and incase I was in there being an asshole which i dont think i was but I may have been borderline due to nobody really talking to nobody and nobody really had a real good idea what was going on.

Date of crash may 6th and date of return was june 6th, One month to the day. For some reason it just seemed way longer than that, I guess when you miss something that bad it just eats at you, never missed the harley when it was down, even kinda enjoyed the extra space in the garage but even with the vision's clunky grinding transmission, rattling tour pack, crappy radio, rear view mirrors that show both of your hands more than the cars behind you, testicle searing engine heat I really missed the bike and I dont really know why it is.

After i got the bike back i was looking it all over to just feel better and did a complete under belly inspection and don't I fry my friggin forehead on the right exhaust rectangle cross over pipe and have this 2 inch burn on my forehead!!!! OUCHY!!!

Still I look in my garage and I see the vision sitting there looking at me with a lets go look on it and you know my forehead dont hurt so bad now. What is up with that.

Another reason I make it a point to ride all the time, whenever I can, because the Vision never fails to make the worst day and make it a great day at the twist of the throttle. I can see the hurt in its eyes when I back the car out past her just sitting there.

Also, I know it hurts but it had me laughing hearing you burnt your forehead, you've been marked. It might be because you let her fall and now she's paying you back....

I had my bike stolen a few years back and the insurance company said they would contact me in 30 days. Never heard from my agent bitch. The clams called me on the 30th day. Said check was in the mail. I was jumping for joy. But the missing of my stolen bike was the best eve I test road six vision and when the money showed up that day I bought a vision.
Thanks criminals now I have a great ride.
