Kevin, OK but how about you, are you all mended up? Also, these things can
take years sometimes, I don't know about that two year thing though. And,
did you get another loop or another Guzzi, of any kind, or another
(non-Guzzi) bike? Best, Bob

Hey Bob,

Thanks for asking, not much to report. No one's budging on the
settlement price. The insurance co. won't talk to me directly now that I
got a lawyer involved, and it's a real chore trying to get in touch with
the lawyer. I have a feeling something has to break soon.
I couple months ago I left a message for the lawyer, asking why it is
such a P.I.M.A. to get a phone call back. Is it the lawyer fee we agreed
on? NO is it that he is just too busy? He's busy but NO. So I left it at
that and call every couple weeks to leave messages for him.
Being as busy as I can get, I have to admit that some slacking is on my
part, also. The bike itself is sitting in the garage of the owner of the
local Guzzi dealer. They are going to go after the insurance co. for the
storage costs. 1) Winter is right around the corner. 2) Maybe the added
pressure will help the insurance co. to settle.

So that's about it. The waiting game. Trust me you guys will be the
first to know when this egg breaks open.

I did hear something lately if the claim is not settled within 2 years
it could be considered null & void, releasing the ins. co. of all
responsibility. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

Kev

As for the tires, Maxxis was mentioned, just to let you know , buyer
beware, some good, some bad. I put the whitewalls on the ambo. I don't
remember how many miles I put on the damn things but I'll tell you it
wasn't that many at all before the RR tire was shot with wear. Just ask
the folks who saw it at the loopmeet/midohio in 03.

I won't bother with them anymore.

I'll blame the crash on that....
Kev

Hey Corntown,

You know what happened to Kev; the road made a turn & he went
straight. He did a face plant which changed his whole outlook - now he
rides a Troublehead.
Rumor control has it that he's going to a laser clinic to get
the artwork removed, and he traded in his boots for white patent leather

& a turquoise jump suit.

Ya know, that sounds like just the look for Creamsicle-you
ought to consider it.

Your Pal
