[ST] Salvage Title

[Tom Emberson <ate_st@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As some of you know, thanks to the attack rock, my bike may get 
totalled. Long story, but if buy back the bike with a salvage 
title, will I be able to keep collision on it, and if it where 
to get in an accident would they consider it only worth the 
salvage value that I paid, or would they compensate me with 
repsect to having a road worthy bike?

I realize that if I do retain ownership of the bike, selling the 
bike with a salvage title will be harder, but, if I keep it, I 
want 100,000 miles on it before I do sell it.

Anyway, if I keep the bike, only one panel needs to be replaced, 
as well as the oil pan and the front rim. Other than that the 
rest of the damage is mostly scratches and oiled up tires. I was 
thinking that a Sprint of a different coloUr would be cool. So 
painting the bike would not be an issue. And I have had an 
unofficial quote of about $600 or so to paint all the pannels. I 
am sure that I would have to pull all of the foam, and empty the 
gas tank and clean everything up for that price, but I can do 
that. Anyway, I have a spare road bike now :-) And my next 
planed LD trip is next summer. Anyone want to go to Whitehorse 
YT with me :-)

Again, TIA
