The pictures show your motorcycle had no handlebars!  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-26-2006 09:54 PM                     Yeah, looks like Phil is right, that is a piece of junk now, no chance repairing that. So, how much you want for it? It probably could be repaired but there can be some unseen damage that could make it dangerous to ride. If the insurance will buy a new one then that is the best thing and sell the wrecked one for parts. At least that is what I would do.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-26-2006 09:58 PM                        well the short list of what the machine needs is pretty much as follows: New/used radiator forks triple tree instrument cluster tank possible airbox ignition switch and, of corse, plastics Ebay is your best friend The frame doesnt look as if it took any direct impact, but I still want to send it in and have it measured/straightened if need be. the rest is pretty small stuff, but the insurance man would have totalled it. It only had liability so I have to fix it. JJ  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Like I said, it didn't look like your bike had them before. Might be a good upgrade! Heal up soon, dude.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-26-2006 11:06 PM                        it had race clip-ons that merely folded back against the tank. look close and you can see the green grips.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-27-2006 12:01 AM                        So 113mph or highway 113?  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 04-27-2006 10:26 AM                    That's ok, Bobby, I didn't see them either and was thinking the same thing. Shows what I know about bikes and handle bars! You will never see me on a motorcycle. When I was about four or five, my uncle took me for a spin on a little dirt bike moped thingy, and we wrecked. It probably wasn't a bad wreck, but as a four year old, it scared the crap out of me. I'm still afraid of motorcycles to this day. You might see me on a bicycle though. Glad you're ok, Josh. You are indeed lucky. Get well soon!  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 04-27-2006 01:06 PM                     When you find out, I'd be curious to know how much your insurance will go up. If you can still afford it, I think these in the 50th anniversary color look sweet in person.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-27-2006 05:04 PM                        A racer buddy of mine is doing up his ultralight entry this year in the 50th aniversary colors. He's got a little YZF-400. Cool little bike.  |  IP: Logged John Eickhof Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 588 From: Wendell, ID USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-27-2006 05:20 PM                        GEEZE!! You are a lucky dog! I guess you will have to recruit someone to lift the reels for a while!! Godspeed on a rapid recovery!! Take care!!  |  IP: Logged
