i was checking traffic to the right and whent i looked back fwd the guy in front of me was standing on the brakes. couldn't get outside of him and thpose lovely brembos assisted me in going ass over. the bike landed on top of me. i have a broken collarbone and very badly bruised ribs w/ possible cracked cartledge. will see about getting the bike tomorrow.

i hope it still runs. that would make me incredibly happy.
i have these parts from my '05 620
stock handlebars

i may need a new seat and beer tray, but i haven't tried to take mine off yet, so i can't tell if the seat tray is broken of if it's just plastic from the beer tray/taillight assembly.
there may be other damage that i haven't found yet since i am not ready physically to start tearing it apart and checking things for straightness.
thanks again to everyone. i love you all.

I just gave away my suburban machinery bars... [bang]
I have some Napoleon "short stalk" mirrors lying around here
Also a set of front forks off of a '99 M750... what kind of bike is yours again?
I'll check to see if I have anything but I'm not thinking I have much worthwhile.
You didn't damage my old exhaust header did you? Stuff from me must be cared for lovingly.
Does it run?
Sorry to read about this incident; remember what it did to me a year ago and can only say, get better soon.
I'll have a drink or two on your behalf this weekend... [beer]
Hey Trav, really sorry to hear about this but Mrs ML and I are both glad you're ok [thumbsup]
I wish I had some parts to send to you but all I have are 900ss leftovers.
Also, if you have full coverage insurance the check should come to you to spend where and how you wish.
Get on bike bandit and make a list of parts you need along with pricing and part numbers. Turn that into your insurance (who do you have?)
when I made a claim with state farm that's what I did. The sent a lady out in a van and she took my list and turned it into a check.

Now Travis will probably weep once more as you rose his hopes and dashed them on the rocks below.
I spoke to him earlier today and he foresaw your treachery (he's a seer ya know) but I talked him down and said you would not fail him.
I erred.
What kind of Monster is it, Knight?
I have a CF beer tray that used to be on an 07 S2R1000.
I'll soon have the Showa forks off an 08 1098 [evil] (Ohlins had a sale on R/T forks!)
Want to upgrade?
Damn! Hate to hear this. Glad you are still in decent shape though. Heal up fast. The only Monster part I've got laying around is a OEM sprocket.

Clavicle breaks SUCK. Hang in these though it can only get better right??
Shattered mine 2 years ago, still have the plate and 7 screws in there. Are you wearing one of those figure-8 braces to keep your shoulders back or getting surgery?

not yet. couldn't get to see the ortho until thurs.
The insurance company pays you for your loss, you can do the repairs yourself and keep the difference. Your bike will be a total loss from the damage you describe, which means you would be buying the bike back salvage. This can be avoided by asking the adjuster to write the bike up for a few dollars short of total loss. Adjusters don't like doing this because there is the risk of the client asking for more money later.
Just saw this, so sorry Travis! :(
Hope you heal up quickly.
My broken collarbone really sucked, but my broken wrist was far worse. I'm sure knowing that will make you feel better. :P
Sorry to hear about your incident Major!
Heel up quickly. [thumbsup]
Lemme know how you make out with that front rim.
If'n it can't be repaired I may be able to come up with something for you.

What year and model is your bike? I have seat for you if you want it/if it fits.
seat is off my 06 s2r1k.
pm me your address if you want it. i can ship early next week. [thumbsup]
edit: should have read to the end before asking about the year and model... seat is still yours if you want it. I also have the OEM top triple of my bike if there is a need (going to larger forks, etc...)
Trav, come on down and we'll fill you with booze while you look through any stock parts off the RS that might fit (bars are different diameter perhaps though?).
G's 620 has much stuff off it now too.
Feel better, Man.
i can't say it enough, you people are amazing.

Looks very similar to the break I had 2 years back. You will not regret the surgery, I was up and walking, operating within 48 hours and could hold a gallon of milk after a month. Basically after 8 months of being a baby I began to weight train again. My doc cleared me after 6 months but I was being conservative. Just today I repped 455 for dead lift so It definitely healed up strong. Make sure they cut you vertically, a horizontal scar will not heal as well or be as attractive. After about 1.5 years my scar is nearly totally faded and worn away.
Good luck be strong.

(welcome to the cyborg family.)
scars don't really bother me too much, but i will ask him about how he's going to do it when i talk to him tomorrow.
thanks for the tip.
Sorry to hear about your most unfortunate accident.
I've come close too many times to rear ending cagers just because I don't ride in cities or towns hardly at all and when I do I get anxious and have a tendency to want to get where I'm going and then get the hell back in the country.
I have had 2 broken Collar Bones . One from Wrestling in High School and the other from a tumble while Motocross racing .
Good luck healin' up . Hope you do better with it than I did.
Dolph :)
so i got a call from the state trooper who investigated the accident tonight.
he was very apologetic and said that if there is damage and everyone gets called in to assist like that then they have to issue a citation. >:(
not sure what it's going to be for, but he said that he sees no reason that i should have to pay a ticket when i did my part and avoided hitting other people and i wasn't riding like a jackass. he was also impressed that i have been bike onl;y for this long, lol.
he told me that i should plead non guilty and go to the hearing and he would drop the ticket. it's nice that he was so cool about it and is helping me out like this.
so heads up...if you get iunto an accident in PA, even if it's only 1 vehicle, you will get a ticket. talk to the trooper if you can and see if they can help you out.
That's some great news [thumbsup]

It's a Chinese buffet place at a strip mall, nothing fancy but there's not that many great options for me in the immediate area (mostly I just go to a supermarket and buy food). They have some really greasy food, some fairly normal entrees, and then some healthy salad options.

What kind of frame damage?
Just because the ins co totals it doesn't mean that the bike is junk...just that they don't want to pay to fix it as the retail cost of parts exceeds the 'value'.
Any pics of said damage?

i'm working hard to tell myself that it's just a thing and therefore should hold no emotional attachment.
i'm not being convinced... :-\
In the big scheme that is correct...
I'm thinking in the right now it's a bunch of bullshit.
sorry trav :-\

i've still got the bars for you ;)

shouldn't have ever cleaned it. The dirt made the welds stronger.

the engine is a stressed member, so cleaning the engine weakened the thing as a whole.

everyone was complaining about the 15 ft high rooster tails that Greg and I were making though.

Why go thru the trouble of getting a new frame for a cracked weld?

Won't that be the case if you take the insurance money and buy it back?
Quote from: ducpainter on May 20, 2010, 04:11:36 AM

that's why i want a new frame...
trav,
what about all the money you've put into the 'wrecked' bike? buy it back and get a new frame and just, transaplant the whole thing into the new frame.
I have no idea how much you've got invested in your bike, but, if I had the easiness of getting a new frame and redoing my bike again if an accident put it as a wreck, I'd do it.
You're in the US, it's should be easier for you to 'transplant/rebuild/build' a 'new' bike...
Just saying, at the end of the day it's you and your pillow the ones who decide...Get well soon and start wrenching...
Quote from: Major Moose Humper on May 20, 2010, 04:26:05 AM

But the insurance company would have to reduce the amount of payment to below a total loss.
You'll be out of pocket for more.
i'm waiting on numbers right now.
from what i was just told the amt i would get back is only going to be around $500 less than the total payout.
once i get the numbers i'll make the final descision.
however, i think i'm going to buy a new frame and buy it back.

anyone have any experience with salvage titles in PA?

I bought a salvage Monster in either MD or PA, I can't remember which, and had no problem registering it in ME.
I never did it myself but I looked into doing it with a salvage ss frame I had.
Basically you need to repair the bike to a condition that would pass a normal PA inspection.
You then need to have an enhanced inspection done. Your local inspection station can tell you where to have that done. You might luck out and your inspec station can also do the enhanced one.
Then you need a regular PA inspection.
There's some paperwork of course. You'll need to be able to prove the parts you used are not stolen and not from another salvage bike.
It's a do able process. Lots of people go through the process of turning a salvage title into an R title (reconstructed)
you just have to figure out if it's worth your time and energy to go through the process.
Or just spend money and call it a day.
yay, i get to keep my monster! [moto]
i'm so happy right now. ;D
i started to do a happy dance, but my ribs still hurt, lol
and i'll even have some money for a new frame or to get it repaired and to buy new gear, after i put money towards the car!
so umm, if any of the offers for parts still stands I'll take them! :-\
just PM me how I should repay you and as soon as the collarbone heals enough to wrench properly i'll get the monster back up!
