Figured out all the insurance stuff. Getting paid for the entire estimate of damages as well as a replacement helmet.
TONS of goodies are on the way and I'm picking up the bike this weekend and starting to take it apart. Ordered about 3g's of stuff today ;) |
Organized/worked on the garage a bit:

Tomorrow morning I'm going to pick up the bike and a lot of the parts I ordered. A couple things won't be showing up until monday. This bike is going to have a full kit of street and track gear, as well as lots of cool parts. And I still haven't spent all the money ;) |
