Value of binned bike.

Bear, I will not be wrecking the bke myself. The price above is what I can get locally from a wrecker. It has NOT been classified as a writeoff and perhaps it would make a good repair to someone, all it 'really' needs are full plastics, yoshi pipes are rooted so standards an option (have em here) and a few other bits and pieces. The thing is it's only 8 months old and even if the insurance waas going to fix her up then I would be trading anyway. Believe it or not but doing what I am going to do will be cheaper than restoring her to full as new condition which is what she was like anyway. But i someone had time on their hands they could have a nice enough bike for little dollars I guess. I dunno, to say this has been a very tough 2 weeks would be an understatement and it's not going to get much easier. I have the quote for repairs here in my hand OUCH!

Bugso, certinly do regret everything that happened and at the end of the day I was more woried about Mick than the bike at the time. He is fine, turns out to have a few cracked ribs too.At the end of the day we both though each other insud to ride each ike an we weren't. My thought on comprehensive insurance has certainly been changed. Life goeson, Micks alive, his missus is just happy that he's ok and at he end of the day it will work out.

I will hold off making a definate decision on the colour of the new bike until I see one of each, shop will have them in Tuesday but the all black looks nice on the PC screen.

Cheers
