Looking at those pic's I'd just be phoning a few breakers as well TBH. I know how long it takes to source parts and rebuild bikes that have had less damage than that, especially when you have a family and a day job, I couldn't be bothered, especially when you won't be able to start work on it for another six weeks until the collar bone is fixed.

So annoying. I spent the best part of £600 the week before on 2 tyres, EBC brake pads and a full service.

Off to the hospital now to get screwed back together. Wish me luck.

Good luck. Somebody might buy the tyres off you and give you the knackered ones off their bike.

Bike don't look that bad mate, mainly cosmetics.

There's loads of these about isn't there ?

I can offer assistance if you need help mate.

I've done some pricing up and seeing as the bike was only worth about 2k before the crash it doesn't really seem worth spending hundreds on fixing it up. I'll stick it no ebay with a decent reserve. Would make a perfect track or streetfighter project for someone with the time and mechanical skills that I am lacking.

If it doesn't sell then I'll rethink the situation.

I'd be interested at the right money mate, I'm gonna get a track bike at some point but might bring it forward for the right bike.

Broke in the middle is good, you should make a fast recovery and not have much muscle fade etc, full mobility won't be far off. I broke mine at the very end of the bone this time and it's taking ages to heal. Don't do too much too soon! Shame about the bike

Yer it's healing pretty well, doesn't hurt much anymore, not got much movement though at the moment. They said it's cause the muscles are in spasm.

Hope yours gets better soon mate.
