Sorry to hear your bad news. Ronald McDonald has a lot to answer for.
This one really does sound like a bit of a burger.

Glad that you came out of it OK.

So long as you are ok


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

As said good to here you ok, Second hand parts off ebay would cost you about £300. notes as to what you have listed.SO if insurance do not offer you much at least its winter.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Given that I'm half way round the world, I can;t be accused of vulturism, although hovering by proxy could be applied.

It might be worth your while punting the buy back value on the site if it's too much for you as I reckon someone would be prepared to take on the repair or streetfighter conversion.

So I'm suggesting that somepne might be willing to front you the cash to buy back, so you are not out of pocket.

I suppose the risk is that they are buying the bike blind.

Just a thought.

Did you buy this bike back off the insurance? Are you selling spares off if so? :smt017
