What do you do when your friend backs into your Z?

I had a "friend" at work back into my motorcycle a couple of months ago. It wasn't super bad but it ended up being $650 and 2+ weeks in the shop (waiting on parts). I was nice and let her (women... my weakness) pay in cash. It sucked because I normally would have gotten money for lost use on top of the repairs. Not to mention a diminished value claim.

My point... I ended up regretting it. Take it through the (his) insurance company. That's why you send them a check every month.

I actually had my rear bumper replaced a few weeks ago because my grandma hit it going like 2 mph (ha I know). Just the bumper plus labor was about 1150 bucks. If you have taillight damage, it will obviously be a bit more.
