Got hit head on

Oh, wow, that's seriously bent.

At least if you get another 650 to rebuild with this bike as a donor, you get to try something new, go for a new look/color scheme/etc, while avoiding the major part of "I got a new old bike" expense buying all the rebuild kits. You know you've got good clean carbs, good braking components, etc... Then you get a bike full of spare parts too!

 

Yeah I recall Razz's thread when he rebuilt after getting stolen. Labor of love there. If it was some super rare bike then I can see trying to get the frame fixed. I'm sure there are people out there that have the skills/tools to do so but these frames and bikes are all over the place.

 

Bingo

 

hey just playing catchup here - sorry to hear this - glad you're ok.

 

Glad you are OK. That is a good looking bike. I hope you can fix it if your heart is into it. Take care.

 

Cant believe i didnt see this thread... this truly make me sad. This was one of my fav bikes on the site.

 

Wow. That bike took a beating, but I'm sure it will buff out nicely.

But seriously, bikes can be replaced easily, body parts can't . Thank Goodness you made it through that without any serious injury! It's a shame, because I really like that shade of green.

I remember a friend of mine once recounting when he stopped at a toll booth (back in the days when you had to pay with cash) and an elderly woman backended him. He was on a sportbike and the bike shot out from beneath him and he landed, seated, on the hood of her car. She then proceeded to yell at him to get off her hood (as if it was his own choice that he was sitting on her hood)!

 

That’s actually almost funny!!
