Well, since no one else has posted this already I figure I'd share these sad pic's from Advrider.

Moral of the story is: Only loan your sidici to J_Slyter or this might happen.

Well lets see here, I just so happen to have access to prices for replacement parts!  Just replacing what I can see is damaged will be...dang the parts computers are all clogged up at the moment.  But I'll betcha $8K at least just for the body parts.  I'll look it up later.

Parts for that bike are hella expensive. I know for a fact that just the rear wheel, with rotor and sprocket is $10K.

Oh wait, just noticed the swingarm!  Ohhh...access to the parts computer:

Swingarm: $6400.00
Windscreen: $244.00
Front Cowling: $2665.22
Front Fender: $1047.00
Right footpeg: $124.00
Tail section: $7000.00
Ceramic exhaust cap for tail section: $1400.00


Grand Total, and this is just the big parts, I'm sure there's others: $18,880.22.

Yeah but if you loaned it to Slyter you'd pay at least that much in normal milage maintence and milage depreciation. At least he got to enjoy it as it was meant to be instead of using it as a touring bike.

Hey, I use each of my bikes for the purpose it was designed for...that's why I need so many.
