Does anyone know anything about my problem?  Scenario: 2008 CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide, 1000K on, it was hit from the side twice by the same car.  Bike goes down.  Rider ok, but bike in bad shape.  There are marks on the rims where it was hit.  Question: Should the tires be replaced?  Insurance company says no, I say yes.  We will be doing a 5000 mile trip in 4 weeks (we hope)and since they are the only contact I have with the road, I would feel much better if they were just done!  Any opinion from you out there would be wonderful!  

Interesting predicament!  How does the same vehicle hit the same anything twice?  Tried it once and liked it and tried again?  My concern would be, given your statement that the rims were marked by the impact, that regardless of what damage might have been done to the tires, the rims themselves are out of round or warped.  Have they checked that out thoroughly?  I doubt that a standard wheel balancing procedure could adequately compensate for such a problem, even though it might be almost imperceptible to the eye.  

I know, sounds funny.  It hit the front of the bike and the guy kind of stopped then proceded and hit the rear of the bike. The fella that hit it was 85 years old, and claimed he never hit it...go figure!  I know that even if insurance won't pay, I will. I just wanted to know if I could gleen any info from the pros out there.  Thank you as I will suggest this to our local HD Dealership.
