It never ends... Got an email from the claims adjuster for Fiona yesterday. I had ordered an upswept exhaust from Hitchcock's, as it was taking forever and six months to get the replacement OEM parts for her repairs. John let me know her repairs were finally done and the shop had her all cleaned up and ready to go... Except in the process they discovered a small dent in the front of the fuel tank, about 2" back from the front mounting bolt, that they had missed the first inspection. He is asking if I want them to send the tank out to a local body shop to have the dent filled and the tank repainted, or as the dent is almost invisible to the eye (they found it by feel, apparently), would I take "an appearance allowance" which would mean I have zero deductable payment... Having spent good money (which will be refunded, I think) on the exhaust system, I really don't have much of a concern about the deductable.
But jeebers, I sure would like to ride her again before I shuffle off this mortal coil...
