jporter12 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 For sale? If you decide to sell it and put the money toward a new bike, I'd be interested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 damn that's hella messed up...mailboxes! coming out of nowhere! messing with bikers!They're a menace and should be outlawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enenen Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I mean, realistically, it wouldn't be THAT bad to fix. Upper fairing, 2 middle fairings, headlights, windscreen, mirror, gauges. I think that's about it. I would love to track it, and get an 07 for the street, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 There's no right or wrong, the guy wrote you a check for 5k, unless he said "here, this will cover the repairs, just give me the difference" then you have no obligation.Track it, buy a new bike for the streets, and take your time working on the track bike.

max power Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 why don't you buy another bike, and give him your old bike, so he can fix it ? and then teach him to ride, and ride together ? this way you can consider his check a buying your bike, you won't take any advantage of him, and you both will be having bikes. .... ?Thats a good Idea. I'd at least present it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 atleast the guy paid up.and thats why I don't let people I don't ride with, know, and trust ride my bike. only 1 dude that I switch bikes with regularly. Everyone else can go fk themselves I don't care how many miles you rode your bicycle!!!I learned the hard way on letting ppl ride my stuff too...cept it was on a atv. Bro-in-law rode my z400 and rolled the dang thing...I was like WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 That was from a mailbox? I wouldn't ever get on a bike if I were him again either...Imagine the carnage if he hit something other than a 4x4 pole.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curby Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 no one touches my bike, unless i know they can and will cover damages (which is a very select few and they don't ask and i don't offer) me and the previous owner of my warrior are they only ones who will ride my warrior. hopefully the check doesn't bounce.

DGTL GRL Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Glad he's okay but wow.. that totally sucks that your bike is hosed! I hope his check doesn't bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enenen Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I hope his check doesn't bounce.Haha. Believe me, I am not the least bit worried about that. Notice the BMW 5 series behind the bike in the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 my.02streetfight that beyotch, put the cash inthe bank until you find a deal that "you wish you had the money for" (i can't tell you how many of these i've come across).. once you find a good deal on a replacement you can use the old one as a stunter/trackbike whatever you want.

enenen Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm pretty sure I'm just going to fix it and give any leftover money back. Even though I really want THIS. Maybe I'll get a new exhaust or something though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enenen Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Just a little update. Gons get the bike fixed and give him back what's left. I bought a full set of fairings off of Mike at Cycle Therapy for $800. Dropping them off to get painted tomorrow. Bought a mirror and fairing bracket there too. Still need a gauge cover, tip over sensor and headlight assembly. I rode it yesterday, all street fightered out, with just the fairing bracket with the gauges and mirrors on. No headlight, no body work other than the tank cover and rear fairing. I kinda liked the ride with no windshield. People were looking at me like "wtf is that piece of shit?"

magley64 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 so make it "not" a piece of shit, make your own headlight assy. etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enenen Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Well the fairings are eventually going back on. Just waiting for some paint. Think I'm going to do a pearl white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I rode my Ninja 250 like that (except I had the headlight on it, and turn signals were attached to the headlight) for over a month before I finally got fairings for it, and got them painted! I found it interesting (not so much surprised) that it seemed to corner better with the fairings on it. I think the wind was actually better witout them on it though. Not gonna go back now!
