I don't think the bike's that bad considering. If you decide to strip bits off it before the insurance company sees it I could be tempted with a few bits

yeah i dont think it looks to bad at all...

buy the sucker back... track it

If you can write her off go for it - (be sure to look for stress fractures)...if not strip her... i trust bent/damaged frames as much as i trust bad tires and damaged helments....even if they don't look that bad..

The vultures are circling..

Possum

Bad luck dude, good to hear your okay though.
Seems like a good wreck to buy back, then while your healing up start selling parts on ebay

frame damage = write off...
think of the man hours to strip a bike and replace a frame!!

u could do it urself..if u can find a good frame/donor bike cheap...

it doesnt look that bad, cept the frame...

I'll let you know shortly mate - we have to strip Swabio's ZX6 from its prang earlier this year, and essentially swap frames, or build up a complete bike using another frame, whatever way you want to look at it....

I reckon 6 hours tops. Thats with 2 or 3 of us going apeshit. It took less than 1 hour the other night to sort out AN's bike !!

to be honest mate, and im sure u will kno this..its not that hard if u get in and have a go...

when we did the cbr i think we had it apart in abt 3 -4hrs (2 of us- half pissed) ...then when we got all the parts back..i went to work one day...came home and it was back together..Jamie had done it himself in abt 6-7hrs....

if u have all the gear there, and can take it off one, and onto another, u should be able to sort it out pretty quickly...esp with a bunch of you!!



but my point was, even if its 8hrs labour to change a frame..at abt $90 an hr the dealer charges?? thats $900 labour on top of maybe $3k for a frame?? so there $4k on top of all other damage...write off id guess....

anyway...have fun lads...

Got the word from the bank. It's all go. I'm going to make an offer on the one Plas ans Neka scoped for me.

I managed to strip and rebuild an entire ZX6 F1 in 3/4 of a day in the pits at Broadford a few years back. And I hadn't really worked on one for ten years! If you need any help with it, let me know, I have done mine four times since I got it back and can now do it in my sleep again. I also have a manual should you need any settings!
