And after the faceplant...
 

Apologies if I've got this in the wrong spot.

For details of faceplant refer to "Hello from the left coast" in the newbie corner, which'll also explain the reading-more-than-posting for awhile.

Was wondering if anyone has had similiar experience after an accident. Ins co towed bike to salvage yard (before looking at it). I asked for a copy of the inspection...copy confirms inspection done after taken to distant salvage yard and says only "extensive damage to entire body of bike" and that it's a total loss. I've never heard of a professional estimate written officially (ie not an informal oe prelim est) done like that.
