I got a call from the claims adjuster and it seems they are willing to give me $8500 (after the $250 deductible) for my '06 Uly with the side cases. Seemed fair enough so I didn't squawk.

Went to the doctor yesterday and xrays show everything healing OK but he warned me to wait another 6 weeks before I do anything. This gives me plenty of time to decide if I want to buy a used Uly on the cheap or get a new one (Court's bike with the Outdoorsman bags looks trick).

While I've been convalescing, my younger brother/business partner has been riding my Road Glide. He's a sport bike/track day kind of guy but his girlfriend really likes the RG with the tour pac and sundowner seat, etc. So he comes to me with this scheme - "You know, if you give me the Road Glide you could get one of those new Tri-Glides that Harley has. Run it through the company and we'd be close to even. Oh, and you need to sell your dirt bikes too. I gave those up a couple of years ago."

So I'm thinking to myself "A tricycle? He wants me to get a f'n tricycle? Why don't I just lay down and let them throw dirt on top of me right now?"

Out loud I said "Yeah, I'll have to think about that." It been a couple of days now & I still don't know what to say to that. Although I did consider a sidecar for the RG but the wife said she wouldn't ride in it.

I just wish I had my old bike back and hadn't mangled myself last month. While we're at it, wish I was 40 years old again too.

Tell him you'll keep the RG and his girlfriend can just ride with you

Maybe by that time the new Rotax Uly will be out.
