ouch...! glad you are fine! and as for the bike, i would buy it back from the insurance if they total it out. then part it out and buy a new one. my buddy just totaled his harley last tuesday, and he bought it back from the insurance for $700, then sold it on craigslist as a parts bike. he sold it in 2 days and made triple off it.

Noooo, not a gixxer! J/k. ;-) Good luck w/ your purchase.

Any chance on buying your CBR from the insurance co & fixing it?

When a car pull out in front of you, driver's majority intent is a left turn....either pull out of a driveway, oncoming left, U-turn that is originated with a left...

Hate those left turns...

shows that full leathers are worth it and if it wasn't for my boots i would have snapped my leg when i hit the top of the car:/


lol there very sore xD



a what?



yea im hoping not as far as i can tell forks are ****ed, rad has been caved in by the front wheel and obv the farings the sliders saved the sides but will need a new front end :/
ill see what happens with the insurance and decide weather to get a new one or just fix it up in which case il probably put the f4i front end on it but il let you guys know

thanks for the concern people

That's a nice looking Daytona. Didn't some of those have a prob w/ spontaneous combustion? ;-)

I would say that it would most likely be worth doing in the states. However, in the UK, I'm not sure what the market would be. If I were you tho, I would def consider the proposition.
