First time posting a picture, hope it works. It's my first gsxr I rebuilt and painted after I crashed and totaled it. 88-89, I think some of the body work was from a 1991. A week after I finished the bike a guy driving a Schwans food truck ran over it and dragged it down the street about 20 feet.

That is one of the better looking non stock paint jobs I have seen. And not just because it's blue, but that always helps. What did the obituary for the Schwanns guy say?

That was a sad day, when I think how many hours I spent in the garage wrenching and sanding and buffing it makes me sick. I was never a fan of solid color bikes, it had to be blue or red and white. The paint came out flawless for a garage job, the heavy dose of clearcoat made it shine like a new penny! The driver felt pretty bad, it was hard to get mad at him. Of course their insurance company screwed me, I got about half what I put into it......fuckers. Ill never eat Schwans again.

Don't get me started on the insurance thing. I'm still fighting the battle over my stolen bike. My previous adjuster "left the company" so I had a new guy call me last week. I had to re-explain everything to him and found it very aggravating. He basically told me that if the "market study" said $2100, then that's what I'll get. I told him if he wanted to settle today for $5k then that would be fine - if not, we had nothing more to talk about. He said no, and I told him that was fine because I already paid an appraiser to do up a report and if that report comes back at $7k, then that's what I'll want. On the other hand, if it comes back at $2100, then I won't argue it and he can be a hero to the company. I guess he's a gambling man and I see this going to court.

insurance companies SUCK! remember that they are in the business of making money.
