Trashed my bike - SV650.org

04-11-06, 03:06 PM

Was coming home from work when a pickup truck pulled out and I went straight into the side of it.
I got away with some scratches and bruises, but the bike is a bit worse for wear...

OUCH!! Did you drive it through his truck?

looks like you got off pretty lucky.

Nothing a hammer and some ductape wont fix.

Owwwww! I've never seen a fork lower bend like that... Some really strange damage on there all round, like the broken water pump cover. One to give the armchair experts some food for thought... Fairly safe to assume that'll be written off

But from the looks of it, it could've been a hell of a lot worse.

Does it look to be clear cut with insurance etc?

Holy ****........... ******* truck!! Exi I've seen you "thrash" your bike before but that is ridiculous!!!

Lookin at the damage its hard to believe you're only scratched and bruised.. I'm thinkin at least heart broken too!!!

Well I would be! Really sorry to hear the news & hope you get a replacement soon and lotsa cash for any unbroken bits..

Looks like you were lucky to escape without nothing other than a few bruises.

Well - you're OK, the bike can be replaced.
Pity though cos there's not a lot of copper ones about.
Hope to see you back on the road soon.
