John, do you think the same way about candy bar wrappers and empty cigarette packs ?

It was a 1995 Suzuki GSXF600, you could likely buy a dozen of them for the price of one BMW S1000. I bought enough insurance to cover most of the bike, and my regular bike insurance covered the rest. Back then (maybe today, too) the insurance you bought on your bike covered part of a loss on a different bike. Submitted the whole mess to both and let them fight it out. My insurance now is through a company that insures Classics and special interest vehicles, I have to look to see what it does and doesn’t do.

How ‘aboot you, Sport? The policy you keep on the Cub do you any favors if you drop your cousins Harley at a stop sign?

Again.

Best,
Ted

All the riding gear was mine, however. Stuffed it in the trash, and rented kit for the next day.

That's interesting to those of us who understand that without the forend loop being attached to the barrel, it would seem not possible for the forearm to still be firmly attached to them. When forend loop solder joints fail in the field, forends fall off and get lost.

Who knows... maybe the forend iron was made from some super strong ceramic magnet material... or maybe it was a beavertail forend that was so large it had its' own gravitational field???

Sounds more likely that the forearm loop solder joint was pulled loose from the barrels while attempting to remove the forend. After that, it would be pretty easy to diagnose and repair the original problem that was preventing the opening lever from moving to the full unlatch position. Of course, the loop would also have to be resoldered.
