BMW Triumphant
Ed Kilner #176066
I hit a brick with the front wheel, it knocked out the drain plug we learned, big red warning, no crash, upright stop. 400 km tow to dealer in Moncton, NB from north of Port Hawkesbury NS. 2011 R1200RT, 34,000 km.
Dealer put in oil and started it in my presence. Well, turned it over with the starter. Very loud squealing noises. It has been suggested that the bike might be written off. Or, engine in a box required. Or, an engine rebuild, which I don't like to contemplate as there must be metal all over the insides of the engine.
Specific Question: if the insurance writes off the bike, who owns the Givi top box I bought? Will it's mounting plate fit a new 2016 RT? Same question for BMW quick-attach tank bag I bought with the bike, and will it fit the new RTs?
If I get answers today or early Monday, I will be in better shape to meet the adjusters.
If you are an adjuster, please give me advice if you have any as I have never done this before.
Thanks in advance.
