Looking at the pics, that would have been my guess as well :-(

AFAIK, they will give you retail, as that is what the bike would be
worth to replace. As well I think they give you sales tax as well. Don't
know about registration thought. Anyone???

As far, I had the luggage as well. Since I have accessory coverage on
the bike I am guessing I will get $900 back for the luggage as well. As
far as anything else on the bike it is comming off, personal property I
say, hell the throttlemeister was a gift from a friend, it has
sentimental value!  And if they even touch the Autocom someone will
loose a couple fingers :-)

Did he also take pictures of you gear as well?

Anyway, I will drop you a note when the adjuster gets back to me. He
has to do the same research as well. If things do happen in 3's, all
of the Dallas Sprint riders are safe :-)
