Wow, that's a mess. Too bad the forks are shot...

Ow, that had to be a hard impact--even the head of the frame (at triple tree) is broken open.

Hope the rider is ok.

That makes one think about stuff like de-accelertion, velocity, force, and friction.

53 Hundred dollars? That thing is FUBARed.

Very hard impact with almost no slide damage what-so-ever. Had to have rear ended something with a fair rate of speed.

Makes one cringe thinking of their own mishaps just looking at this bike. (Close calls are just shudders when recalling)

The bike is trash. On ebay it says, "Frame is bad in the front. " Duh!

That was my thought, $5300!? Can you trust an engine that's been in that kind of accident?

I'll take the rear light light bulbs.

Mighty nice of you.

Glade I ride with PR3's on mine.

Hope the rider is okay.

I wonder if the ecu is ok, cruise update?

Bill Lumberg · Dec 18, 2014

My bike insurance (which was insanely low) doubled from my last bike to this bike.... Never had to use mine, but I hope that guy had good coverage.

I wouldn't.

Accident investigators use filaments to tell whether a bulb was lit at the time of impact.

A good filament implies it was off, but if it was on ...

"Hell no" on the engine? What's likely to be wrong with the engine other then some bad ju-ju? Seems that's about the only thing salvageable on that ride.
