Dude, what bits are broke? If it's ridable I assume nothing structural.

If you want someone to check it over without paying a shop of the privilege, willing to help out.

More information would help a lot. Feel free to send me a PM.

I think that i have bent the handle bars (Hope its just them, not the forks!)
Broken light unit and smashed headlight. Dent/gash in the rear seat fearing.
Broken brake lever.(front) - i know i can repalce this easy!

There is a place near me in Camberly that do insurance repairs. Very good service and job but it's costly. Place is called Altamura.

Failing that there is always the ebay method.

As mentioned in PM, doesn't sound like anything too drastic that can't be put together cheap enough. Give me a shout when your back and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks again all. Looking forward to getting it all sorted. Is there a good websit/shop to get spares suck as handle bars/headlight glass/brake levers? I have used deamon bike before but they were quite slow for me!
