Not to be the bearer of more bad motorcycle news, but a huge section (~189 miles) of the Blue Ridge Parkway has been closed due to damage from Helene!

Small world, huh?
And being 75 apart in Ser # I don't think it necessarily means they were built that many apart. They might've been painted one right after the other.
Saw 2 Majesties the other day, one had a higher serial number, but a lower "color count" number. Iow, they were both one of those runs of 100 in the BFR line..., one was like #10, and the other was 13, but the 13 had a lower serial number.

I've had up to 4 in mine at one time. I see them pretty often. Turkeys too. But they go right under your wheels!

Yup. We eliminated all the other Apex Predators. People also used to Hunt and Gather in
Rural Areas to feed their families. Now Rural Areas are increasingly populated and more
Suburban-esque than ever. People populating the Rural Areas don't hunt to help keep
the Deer Populations in check.
No natural predation = population explosion! Population explosion = more collisions.
Not the fault of the Deer. We humans just have this cool way of upsetting checks and
balances in Nature. It's what we do.

Are you suggesting we hunt more humans to reverse these imbalances? Asking for a friend!Yup. We eliminated all the other Apex Predators. People also used to Hunt and Gather in

Having a bit of a back and forth with the Insurance Company/Adjuster about the
value of the bike. They want me to accept their 1st offer. It's too low. So I shared
with them today my thoughts and they noted them and will get back with me.
We'll see what happens.
First insurance claim filed in my life of any kind---so not like I have a history of
milking/gaming the system.

Don't envy you there brother. Did they give you any evidence as to how they reached their number?Having a bit of a back and forth with the Insurance Company/Adjuster about the

NADA/JD Power Average Used Value.
Means those with a craptastic bike that is less than average get a bonus. Those with
a Mint condition bike or even in excellent condition get hosed.
It's not a huge dollar amount. Still, the fact that I took a safety course on my own dime,
and was skilled enough to not lay it down and end up saddling them with massive medical
expenses has to be worth something. So I'll stand firm and contest it until I can't.
