Hey guys/gals,
How's it going - this past July, I was jumped in Philadelphia & the punks kicked over my CB200T ('75) during the commotion. They didn't get anything from me (well... half of one of my teeth, but that's a different issue...) Well, just recently all of the court stuff has come to an end and I was involved as a victim of a violent crime in the case of Pennsylvania vs. This Scumbag (Verdict: The one guy out of five that was caught, was found guilty of felony robbery and some other misdemeanor B.S.). I have one more court date to return & provide documentation to some kind of "repair" costs for the bike, which is where this quote comes into play. Most of the damage only affected parts cosmetically, as it still runs just the way it did prior to the episode - it's what you'd expect for just getting dumped over.
I have all the damaged parts written down at home and the police took pictures of the bike (albeit at night with a crappy camera, so not sure what can be seen) so I'd be able to provide the info along if someone is able to provide a formal quote, so that it would all be reflected in the quote (Not sure how one would provide prices for obsolete parts, if the shop marks them up...etc. - as I'm sure a Honda dealer would... I'd love to bring it to a Honda dealer for a quote, HA!) The way I had initially done it was through BikeBandit, just to get some kinda idea, but knowing I wouldn't be able to get the parts there. Also, my district attorney said that what I did might not be accepted and that a formal quote is the way to go.
Besides the point, I didn't have a fair way to account for labor times to install said parts (I mean, let's be serious. I would like to know
what this guy will have to pay up for professional installation, know what I mean? He should be paying for that stuff, even if most of it is pretty mindless/simple to replace.)
Anyway - I'm sure you catch the drift. So yea, I'm basically looking for a shop that could provide a formal quote for whatever work would be required to "locate / purchase / install" the parts damaged. It's this kinda documentation they're looking for that will aid in negotiating for that money in restitution payments from the guy that was arrested and I will be able to dump it back into the bike on things that it REALLY needs.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. I'm not trying to swindle the system, but looking for an honest quote. The reason I haven't been able to bring the bike anywhere is because I took it to my parents house in the Poconos for the winter (I live in Philadelphia) long before I had a glimmer of hope in having my DA win the court case (can't file for restitution without someone being found "guilty").
Thanks!

Considering they already charged the guy with a felony, seek out the most expensive possible quote.
