Went down with the bike yesterday....


Or just keep an eye on the Classifieds here and eBay and you should be able to pocket at least half of that check after you are back on the road.

I would strongly recommend listing ALL the bits you need on a Wanted thread in the Classifieds here. you will be flooded with offers and assistance in locating what you need.
 


I sobered up this morning n deleted it
 


Good point, but then again on the race track nobody is text messaging, talking on the phone, surfing the net,using their car as an assault vehicle, or being plain old bad driver!

I do agree that some times it's just to fn hot to wear the whole kit and caboodle! Just don't crash and wear what you want and everything will be ok!

So much easier to wear the full complement of safety gear in the spring and fall, but if you in a warmer year round climate, I understand!!
 
Goes to show its better full dress than what some fools wear. ( Shorts, t shirts, half shell helmets ). Glad to hear you came out passably unscathed.
 
HA yes tough talk but I always dress to be comfortable with a HELMET and a JACKET . I laugh at the HD crowd that wear 20 dollar novelty helmets that are crap and not comfy so its more comfy to wear nice gear trather han the cheap crap and your protected
 
After going to a few funerals and seeing the unnecessary pain and suffering of people who lost a loved one from motorcycle accidents that were not wearing a helmet is enough for me to wear a helmet and proper gear every time my leg goes over a bike. Do not want my wife or family standing over my grave thinking @amn if he only had his helmet on at the time. No thank you.
 
Hey Thorin, clean the wreck up best you can. Toss the mangled parts so it doesn't look so ugly. Sell it for $2500 as is. Take that and the $5500 insurance money, tack on another $1k, that gives you $9k to find a low mileage 2013 or 2014.... I just bought my 2014 Roadster with 980 miles for $8500... Glad you are Ok.
 
that is great advice and had a bike or 2 come available in that price point before i started ordering replacement parts it would've been the way to go. as it is, i'm proud to say the bike is roadworthy as of today due to my insurance check and personal efforts this past week.
new front fender, new handlebars, new heated grips, fog lights, headlights, front brake lever, highway bars, airbox cover, new front disc rotors ($325 each, ****!), and assorted other bits and pieces. the gas tank is coming from england, painted by the factory and on it's way here. a local muffler shop found (what appear to be a suitable) replacement mufflers for my jardine exhaust system. that work will be completed this week.
i am SO **** LUCKY to have found this forum. your advice and support has been MASSIVE and many of you have sold me replacement parts helping my insurance money go farther.
as soon as my fractured ankle can stand it, me and bike will be cruising again.
