Well, got the news today. Insurance declared the vehicle a total loss. :'(
Over $17K in damages - and that was only from a visual inspection. The shop recommended putting it on a lift and pulling some parts off. No doubt that would have uncovered a few more expensive damages. I suppose the adjuster stopped around the $17K mark just to save time.
My poor car...
I went and visited it for the last time today. It felt like I was 12 years old and burying my dog in the back yard. <sniff sniff> I know that you guys can relate - being as passionate about your Ducati's and all. And those of you who've totalled one (or two, or three, or...) can also relate.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Crap, it broke the front cradle, that was some hit. Sorry to see it go like that, but it just means the joy of shopping all over again. You may be able to salvage the headers and exhaust with a bit of work, let me know if you need a hand there.

Thanks for the offer. Actually, I already hit the car and nabbed several hundred $$$ in aftermarket stuff and returned it to stock in about 1.5 hours. The only thing I couldn't get were the LG longtubes, x-pipe, and cats. Woulda been nice - those were pricey. The catback would have been an easy sell too, but found the tips had been flattened (probably by the tow truck), so I left them. We didn't have a lift, so removing the longtubes would have been a PITA.
