Downtown gone!

[Forbes1964]

I had a car stolen from our house about 30 years ago. They found it the same day 2 counties over with only minor damage. I think it was juveniles on a joy ride. Aside from the feeling of being violated, what added insult was the fact that since we didn't have Comprehensive coverage,  I (or rather my father) had to pay the towing and ONE DAY's storage even though we picked it up the SAME DAY. We felt violated TWICE.

Anyway, I hope they make you Whole as much as possible and that you're back on the road again soon.

Glad they found the scoot and hopefully they will catch the ones who did this to it. May either the repair or the next scoot be even better than before.

Worse yet for me was having a netbook computer stolen from my house. I wasn't so concerned with the netbook itself as what was on it I can never get back. I used this thing in my travels storing photos, GPS track logs, and other memories. Police did recover the netbook but the battery would no longer charge (internal computer) and someone install a boot lock on the hard drive not that I'm sure any of my data remained. Just thinking about it makes me pissed off to no end.

Update: Going to meet with "adjuster" this AM. I think he is already leaning towards total loss. Will advise.

Don't forget to remind him of the Picasso that was in the storage compartment!!!!!

[CROSSBOLT]

Darn, Chris! I forgot about the Picasso! Adjuster totaled it. Got the stuff off it like the TPMS, GPS mount, the luggage plate I made (for a pattern) even the Wolo horn! Yes, I am gonna replace it with another DT300i.

You could probably buy it back for cheap parts. Post photos when you get the new one.

It is a shame about this. It was well cared for and the engine & trans were primo. The Metzeler tires were still good and were better than the Maxxis. I won't be buying much after we replace it since Allstate is only giving us $2980.82 for the payoff. Kinda sucks, doesn't it? That's the way they work unless one is willing to pay a really big premium for exact replacement cost. I ain't that well heeled!

Well shoot, Karl!
So, you will be replacing it, or not?
Looking lightly used - but bigger....well, not the 500.
Different brand? Or looking for the same bike?
Hang in there until winter sales of left-overs?
You're well versed in scooters - and you're aware of buyer's remorse when it comes to scooters - new owners deciding they're not scooter riders after all and selling with 400 miles on them. If you don't need brand new, or new left-overs there should be some coming on the market in a few months. Ride it home from a distant State!
Hang in there buddy,

Hangin', Stig! Found new/old stock DT300i in Nashville! 2013 with 0 (zero) miles. Will keep posted.

Of the insurance claims I've had two I got more than I paid for them because the average replacement cost was higher than what I paid for them. I have no idea what used ones run in your area. Yes it sucks but I would inquire as the buy back price if want parts off it. They usually sell cheap to junkyards.

Ooh sounds good. Here's to be riding again soon.

The prices at this dealer always amazes me.
How much add-ons?......I wonder....but then every dealer price has pretty much the same additional fees I think.
With my Like I paid list plus fees....no other Kymco dealer around....and could not afford a Vespa....and SYM dealer dead. (Did get $100 dealer gift card...whoopee)

Going to put this on mine.

Heard a story of someone that put one on his motorcycle and they found it within the hour because of it.

I got the TrackR for my scooter. Haven't put it in yet. Same concept as tile. Put one on each of the dogs too. Just in case. Though I'm sure if someone took my dogs, they'd bring them right back, as soon as they figure out how annoying they are
