I dropped my fuggen 2002 gsxr 600 tonight, i was behind a car that stopped kinda fast and i grabbed some brake and down she went... ROAD RASH SUCKS... I was only going about 25mph, but my tires were cold, and the front just washed out like i was on butter.......I don't really want to leave the bike all fugged up and was thinking about turning it in on the insurance, but i dont want them to cancel me or total my bike.... All of the damage is cometic so they shouldnt.........ANYBODY file a claim on your bike? How did it work out?.............

 

Well I never have turned one in but my friend turned in his first claim with Progressive and his dropped somehow?!?!?!?!?! My other friend turned one in and his never changed... Just a thought

 

what got damaged? chances are they will total it, good news is you can buy it back for cheap afterward, is it paid off, or do you have gap?

 

thats what you pay for now get your stuff fixed if you dont want to fix it then jus pay for liability for now on and save your money for fixing your bike.

 

If the cops didn't show up and do an accident report, you can file it as a comprehensive claim and tell your insurance company that your buddy took the bike for a ride and wrecked it. This will keep you from having an 'at fault' claim on your insurance record (but you still get a less severe ding on your insurance record for making a claim in the first place.). When I switched to progressive, they said since I wasn't driving, they weren't going to hold the accident against me.

If you say your buddy did it the insurance company will want his info, if he doesn't have motorcycle insurance/ a motorcycle license or permit, then your both screwed. You got insurance for a reason, you got a legit claim, use it.
