Nice logic but no not what I meant P <| sep |> rep , we ' re pretty cool guys <| sep |> Black frame here , just seconding this . Love my bike and all see my posts for pics but occasionally wish it was more interesting . Also as it ' s black and silver my colour choices are pretty limited if I want to match it , though my helmet and one pair of my shades do which is something I guess . <| sep |> I don ' t know how this would go with AAA but you can see what they ' ll do . If you have physical damage coverages compcollision on your insurance I ' m assuming you ' re in the US this is probably something you can claim . Bit of a pain in the balls , and a mark on your record , but probably just easier to have your insurer pay you and assume the responsibility of fighting with AAA over the damages than have to do it yourself . If you have rental car coverage you can probably have them put you in a rental right away , or at least Friday since Thursday is a holiday . In order to claim the transmission with any paying party you ' ll probably have to show that it is actually damaged and not just probably damaged . Your own insurer would likely pay for the front tires but probably not the rears since that probably constitutes and indirect loss and not a direct physical loss . The original tow had nothing to do with the loss in terms of the cost of the tow itself but the flatbed tow should be covered by your insurance as part of the claim .
