After a crash, what now?

hi,

I was riding from Europe to Asia but had a crash in Turkey.
Seems that my Africa Twin is not worth repairing anymore there the frame is bended...

-the insurance is taking a long time to figure this out.
where can i find information about insurance in foreign country? I don't agree on how they treath my case at all, and it is a Belgium insurance (I am from belgium).

everyone says me to continue to travel and go for my goal, India. But I think the journey itself is more important then the destination. I want to ride a bike, travel by bike, be an adventure rider I don't want to be in India in Particular...
The option to buy a new bike here in Turkey implicates some things:

-thats its more expensive in turkey
-I don't even know it that is possible, to buy a bike in Turkey and register it in Belgium. I already have a license plate tough...
-I will have less money to ride where I wanted to ride (India but first also Georgia Armenia Turkmenistan tadjikistan maybe Kazachstan etc...)

For the moment I m stuck here in Turkey waiting a little bit for my insurance.
What shoud I do?
I m thinking of going back to belgium and start working again to get some money and a new bike, and then to start again, but i ll have to wait for almost a year again
If someone can give me some Ideas on how to continue travelling from Turkey now on...
I woud be glad to!


greetz,

Raf


edit: good to know, I didn't had a scratch from the accident!!! yes, one little scratch actually, but thats all. I am medicaly 100% ok well thats one thing at least

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
