There is only one bike in my ever expanding collection that i would feel compelled to violence (my first wife fell ill and passed away from ovarian cancer at age 25, - the bike she greenlighted me to buy mere months before contracting this is one i hope to hold on to forever - a humble Aelle tubed DeBernardi originally built with Veloce )--
this is Oklahoma, frontier justice still occasionally applies, but except that one, i'd just let the insurance process sort it out- i've shared plenty of pics on this forum that showing what i had wouldnt be too hard
