Any update on Trifecta's injuries?
Is it fatal?

I don't think it is fatal either. He mentioned he may go thru insurance. I would bet it is a write off if he pursues that path.

Insurance wrote me a check for $5800 to have mine fixed when I ripped the tabs. They said my turd was worth 19k and wouldn't total it.

Do they want to issue a salvage title? Or cut a check and send you on your way?

Cut a check and own your way. I couldn’t believe they would do that but they did. I still have full coverage on it.

Definitely a chunk of change to fix the upper mounts.

The estimate includes a whole new frame. Honda guy that did the estimate, said they probably couldn't get a frame for a year or longer.
I wouldn't want a machine that had everything removed and put on another frame. I bet it would be a nightmare rig after that.

I agree. But part of me would have fun building a machine from the frame up. We know where all the weak points are now. Easy to set up jigs on a brand new frame.

The best part of jumping from my 16 to my 18 was fixing it before everything was dirty and bent.

No update yet, I’ve been playing catch-up since I got back. I’m debating turning it into insurance but the odd chance that they might total it is making me consider fixing it and moving on. I talked to another member that had progressive which is what I have and they dropped him after his claim for the same issue.

Well phuck......I'll be following on what you decide cause I have progressive too.

It will be BA whatever u decide to do with the rig. We have some really good mutual friends

Not that it matters, I have Markel Ins they specialize in motorsports. Had them since my last Poo Poo in 08’. Theyve been great. I havent had to make a claim yet. But my buddy had on an Arctic Crap with a slightly bent cage that they totaled a few yrs ago. They didnt raise his ins nor did they drop him. So If u get dropped or want to change in the future, Id suggest looking into them.

Ditto, although mine is associated with USAA so maybe that is different 🤷‍♂️

I could easily fix Trifecta, it only tore the front. It’s as simple as lining it up and tacking it in place so I can grind some of the old weld out and then lay a few good beads on it. I would then reinforce it with some braces.

X3 but Lisa won't let me turn s*** in on it.
