The problem is i need something i can print up.

A pic of the boots (and the actual item when the adjustor shows up) should suffice . . . . along wiht the brand and model, you can furnish a replacement cost . . . . . you should only need paperwork on big ticket items (camera and the like) and things with titles . . . .

your agent gets a cut of every payment you send in. Put him (or her) to work for you.

Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

You say sub-frame, I'm thinking totaled.  :'(

I'm thinking that bike had some bad ju-ju. Maybe time to move to a betterer one?  ;)

Double +1 to what everyone else has commiserated upon. Shit.

I'd like to applaud your decision to head back home, load up your other bike (fuck you on that, but that's a personal issue I'll have to work through) and continue on your trip. The BBQ must be really worth it.

I wouldn't have ridden 3000+ miles if it wasn't.  ;)

Pulled the FJR into the garage after a evening ride and saw a small spot of coolant under the right side of the radiator. (the side it fell on)  Will look at it closer tomorrow.

Also took the Alu rack off the back and was able to put the seat on and remove it with no problem. Looks like there's no damage to the sub frame.

Progressive was out today and after my deductible it came to $2400.00. I don't have the amount for my gear but it should be in the range of $1200.00. I should get the checks next week.

I was already to Triumph and got a new brake peddle and ordered some other parts.

Today i straighten out the exhaust and cans. They look a lot better than before but i still need to remove the mid section to bend it back into shape. Loosened and retightend the handle bar mounts. The bars don't feel like there bent any more.


When i get the checks it looks like I'll be doing some shopping.

Well leave it to Triumph to screw up part numbers. When i went to install the new brake peddle it was the wrong one. The pin that holds the springs are in the wrong place. Went back to the dealer and after almost a half an hour and several calls it looks like there was a vin # split and they have the same part# for both. They have a call into the big boys in the UK to figure this out.

Greg one of the owners of MCC welded a tab on to my old peddle so i at least have something to use.
