3 days ago i wrecked my bike going 70mph. I guy made an inproper u turn in front of me and he never saw me coming. He almost hit me instead of me hiting the side of his car and flying in the air. Thats what probably saved me even thou i landed 50 yards from the accident. I was wearing cheap jeans, a white t shirt, a bookbag and helmet. I got some roadrash but didnt brake any bones. Everyone said i was very lucky to fly over the wreck if not i would have ended up just like my bike. He got the ticket and his insurance will pay for my bike and hospital bills.

Anyways, my family "wont let me" get another bike. The only chance i have of riding is to fix this one with the excuse that its for sale and not for me to ride it. Well, the bike needs a frame, fork, front wheel, plastics, exhaust, and other things. Before the accident, i wanted to put wave rotors, carbon body work, racing exhaust and polish the frame, so i dont see a "huge" difference with the exeption that i was going to save some $ by selling the stock parts that are now wrecked.

I would like to build a track bike, so the frame is around $400. Here is my big question

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICS AND TELL ME IF ITS REALLY WORTH BUILDING THE BIKE BACK THE WAY I WANT IT????

Naw, not to me anyway. You are going to have to spenbd MAJOR time AND money. You have to think about the condition your title will go in as well when you put a different frame on the bike. You have to look at the Frame, Forks, Entire front assembly, Rotors (possibly new rims depending on damage), Engine work (internals) possibly, Fuel rail, WIRING HARNESSES (biotch!!), etc. You would be able to buy 2 for the amount you will be paying for parts and labor if you cannot do it yourself. However, the prediciment you are in changes that up a little. It just depends on how much you want to ride and the amount of money you want to spend.

 

I am truley sorry for your loss, and yes, you are very lucky your still walking

 

Trash it man , you would spend way to much time and money to get that track ready.

 

idk man, it loosk pretty bad!... id say get another!

 

Glad you werent hurt....... just give your bike a proper burial and may she rest in peace...... and be thankful it wasnt you

 

Glad you're in one piece! The bike on the other hand...it's not worth it to bring it back. There is nothing that's reusable on that.

 

looks like way too much damage but I'm not an expert.

Glad you are OK.

 

Tell your family that the bike is in the shop getting fixed, then take the insurance money and find the same year and color used bike. Ta-da.... Your bike, like magic, is back from the dead (thats what they will think anyway)

Glad your okay!

 

just trash it.... and have his insurance pay you for everything!
