Saturday the 1st was the first time I had ever hauled my 49 Whizzer on my bike rack. I had a vtg motorbike get together here in Buffalo , NY.
Went to work as I normally would on a Saturday. Left work and drive 2 blocks away , and at a RED light got rear ended @ approx 40 mph. I suffered neck and back issues I’m now having to deal with. And my work is labor intensive so it’s been a hard week. To make matters worse is the driver a younger male hit and ran. I did get his plate #, & witness.
I’m thankful I’m not more hurt for sure. But my Whizzer and bike rack took almost all the damage . And my geico ins. Is saying they only pay out 200$ towards my personal property, what the’heck!!
A few positive thing is I had her set up to ride, so many of parts like seat , generator and wheels were safley at home . Motor tank , WD new departure hub and some parts are ok. But rear fender, drop stand , and frame are totaled.
I’m not in a position yet to be looking for those totaled items at this time . But hopefully soon I will. If anyone has a lead on a OG paint WZ frame that would be very great .i know I’m asking for probably a rare find .
I did find a local bike shop that was kind enuf to write me up a appraisal on how much to fix it/ replace it would be . But still I’m not holding my breather that insurance will help at all.
(1&2 pictures are as found and after I rebuilt it.)
Thanks the Cabe for letting me vent here and possibly find these parts . This bike will be back on the road and passed down to my kids!!
