Bad324 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 insurance companies are the worst. I have about had it with dealing with them here at work so I feel your pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obesityrules Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 which insurance company? while it would be cool to keep the helmet, i think its pretty cool they are actually reimbursing you on your gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Mine saved my life, but I could care less to keep it... I had pictures, I didn't want the worthless POS helmet that it was after the wreck taking up space. I would've just thrown it away.State Farm only replaced my helmet. I had to buy new gloves and shit. I just gave it to the dealership and got my new helmet and was like, "Oh hell yeah!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 All we care about is when the hell are you getting the new bike/zx14? Should be anyday now right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 You should be able to argue to keep it. I doesn't make sense for them to take a junk helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Will they let you buy it back Bry, like they do the bikes?Or get chummy with the adjustor, & jokingly ask him which trash can he's gonna dump your gear in, so you can swing over & grab it Maybe make some "recommendations" to him about nearby, clean dumpsters that would be easy for you to go divin' Edited May 7, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 You should be able to argue to keep it. I doesn't make sense for them to take a junk helmet.it might make sense.they may have some kind of deal with helmet manufacturers where they get a discount on your new helmet by turning in the old one for analysis or something. Real-world data is expensive....or they might just not want some idiot wearing a crashed helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 If they are gonna pay you for the helmet of course they are going to take it, it's a liability reason I am sure. They don't want you to use that helmet that is damaged and wreck again and you sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysol1 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 i mean it did save my life and all im so sick of insurance companies its not funny...........So they are willing to reimburse you for it but your pissed off?? Do you expect them to reinburse you for a total loss on the bike and give it back to you? Not sure I see the issue here. If you want to keep it then keep it and go buy yourself a new one.

kawi kid Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 i wanted it for educational reasons....... like roll on columbus. sit it on our table or something and if one person looked at it and said wow i should start wearing a helmet then it served its purpose. im glad they are reimbursing me but they should i pay insurance for that. im mad cuz they are just going to burn something that can be used as a tool that i could use to possibly convince someone how not to die. that is why im mad. would i rather have the money than a busted ass helmet? sure but if there is no possibility to keep it like there dont seem to be it makes me kinda angry......

JaysonL Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I understand the sentiment behind it man! That was exactly the way I was with my go-karts. Dad wanted to get rid of my rashed up suit, but, I forced him to keep it. It's just a reminder and almost a badge of, er, honor?! :dunno:If anyone can understand that....
