Was hit this last Friday going through an intersection, apparently she did not know her colors and thought red meant go. I am not sure of the damage to the bike but I do know the entire right side is damage, it slid pretty far, and as soon as it was picked up all the oil dumped out. The tow yard won't let me see it unless I pay eighty dollars, so I have to wait until Monday when it will be free. However, I was looking at this on Ebay but don't think I will need it any longer. There was another rider that wrote his name down for me and told the cops that we had the green light, so hopefully, if she has insurance this will go smoothly.

Gee that's bad news - I hope you're OK ?
Bikes we can fix - riders take longer.
Why does it cost $80 to inspect your own bike ?
Seems a bit strange..........
Post up some pics when you can so we know what parts to look for.......

 

I'm banged up on my entire right side, nothing broken.

It costs money because they are closed on the weekends and would have to send someone to the yard, towing companies are the equivalent of mobile mafia to me. I am going to go there later this week when they are open and get some pics.

 

Sorry about your news samron,but at least you are not to badly hurt.
Canes we can make from bits,cane riders are harder to mend or find.
Most of them seem to end up like this[sm=drooldude.gif][sm=hiya.gif][sm=happy046.gif][sm=partyparty.gif][sm=smiley11.gif]

 

Crappy luck. Sorry to hear you got whacked.

You say your right side hit, but that fairing piece on ebay is a left side.

Plastic welding and some paint can fix quite a lot in the way of damage to the fairings. The oil issue doesn't sound great but it might not be much to fix, either.

Good luck with her and I hope you have no lasting injuries.

 

sorry to hear this. The leask could be jsut a cracked side cover. You don't think the bike will be repairable?

 

Thanks for the replies.

The left side fairing was for when the previous owner dropped it.

From what I saw I don't think it would be repairable from the insurance companies point of view, the cheapest shops around here cost eight dollars an hour or more, I don't know to what damage the fairing has endured, but I do know that some pieces came flying off, someone came running up to me and said here, this came off. I think it was the piece from around the gauges.

 

Ouch!!

Sounds like a lot of work to do. Good luck.

 

Sorry about being down but glad to hear no major personal injury. Still hurts though. Joys of the lead up to Christmas. Tin tops tend to be less vigilant than normal to the point of down right erratic. Hang in there & hope both you & the bike recover ok.

 

Hope you arefeeling better soon and it doesnt get held up in claims heaven forever! Was the traffic light amber or changing from green when you got hit?
