Just doing some price checking. What would you guys expect to pay for such a service, for example on my new multistrada? It's an '06 1000ds motor.
BTW, also looking for names for it. None have appeared to me so far.
Bunny???? [popcorn]

Hmmm... that's a little close to "Morning Thunder" for me to be entirely comfortable with it... [laugh]
What are you doing up, anyhow? Go to sleep. Don't you have a job and responsibilities and stuff? ;)
Honestly, I kinda like Indra...

Just take it to BMS and pay what they charge. It'll be worth it. I know they have upped their prices a little over the last couple years (since all these yahoos found out how good they were & all...), but the 6k on the SS ( :'() was @ $600, if I remember right.
What's the old saying... "If you have to ask..." ;D
BTW, I like the new avitar. [thumbsup] It's you! ;D
Ok how about one of these:
Cocijo or Dongo or Guntur or maybe Tesup or Raja Indainda or lastly Ouxouiga!!!!
There all gods of Thunder!!! So go for it:)
I say Jesus, wait maybe Flying Spaghetti Monster would be more appropriate. Oh you don't have a monster, well then just Jesus. [evil]

They picked up my bike this morning. Going for the 6k and to get it fixed after my little get-off Wednesday night. [bang]
Always wear your gear, kids! Even for short rides around town. I was in jacket, helmet, boots, gloves, and good jeans. As I was sliding on my left side down Alameda (less than a mile from my place) I found myself infinitely thankful for the dead cow and fancy space-age foam products I was wearing. It didn't even get scuffed up! [thumbsup]

what happened?
Was going slow in the right lane preparing to find a place to turn around (actively looking around, which means probably weaving a bit) when BAM! a car shifted into my lane and nailed my front wheel (She cut me off and I think she thought I was going to turn into an alley or something). Bike hit the deck :'( followed by yours truly.
Lessons learned: stay firmly in your lane and telegraph your presence and intentions, remember that your bike follows your head, always wear gear.
what?! so would you consider this good karma? or bad karma? either way - just check your coat at the door - k? Oh and most importantly: glad you're ok!! sheesh!
As this guy says...
Dual Sports are made to fall over.

Crap.

If you have frame sliders wreckers, get rid of them!

someone lately told me that framesliders on a duc treliss frame is not a good idea because the trellis is to support down pressures and not lateral pressure and when you lay it down it will twist the frame. is that what happened manny? [bang]

Nothing that dramatic or drastic. It just made the round hole in the frame into an oval. No cracks or anything, and it doesn't look like it goes very far back towards the actual places where metal contacts metal. Basically, it just bent the flange a bit. But insurance will see a $3500 frame and $1200 labor. :o
We'll see how that works out...
Do you think this stems from the "Curse of the Yellow Bike"!!!!! First the hand, then this....but with this curse things come in 2's I think? So might be good for now:) Mine came in 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 well....ok I don't count anymore. Hope it all works out for you and is over quickly.
I hope the yellow bike isn't cursed. Buzzy is out riding it as we speak... ;)
I was riding the fancy new red station wagon.

Oh, no. It's gonna be a couple weeks I think. I was referring to the original wreck.

Well are you still officially the owner????? or maybe if you are still in relative proximity it null and voids the curse:)
Ah it's not the bike's anyways----life just happens----some are luckier than others.
Without back luck, I'd have none at all!!!! [moto] ;D 8)
She's been practicing, and had good luck skill so far. Seems the curse is still with me. ;D
Sweet------- [moto]------- [moto]-------- [moto] then keep it that way. ;D
First the insurance wanted to total it, but then they saw my list of fancy shiny bits and decided it can be repaired. ;D
