DaveAlvarado · 01-14-2008, 12:55 PM

Come on now, that's almost all of an M50. It's just a little...crooked. Panel beating hammer and some elbow grease and she'll be good as new. Or a ball of scrap metal. One of the two.

What happened!?

Rockhead · 01-14-2008, 02:26 PM

That dont look like a simple tip-over.

Is the rider OK?

RioHusker · 01-14-2008, 02:31 PM

Ouch! That looks like it's gonna leave a mark. How are you feeling? What happened?

ish19 · 01-14-2008, 02:38 PM

Sorry for your lost. Maniac

4dtvman · 01-14-2008, 03:13 PM

Buy it back of the insurance company and put it back together again. Good winter project.

Maniac_rider · 01-14-2008, 03:30 PM

I'm good, Knee and shoulders road rash and a few stitches in the head, no broken bones.

Coming down on a 2-lane road someone pulled out of a side street about 40' in front of me on a SUV with a trailer and stopped blocking my lane....

I'm walking and talking straight so I guess it's all good.

Even the pipes were all banged up!!!!

And to think I found the hot girl for the passenger seat!!!

tricker · 01-14-2008, 03:41 PM

oh noes!!!

Ext1jdh · 01-14-2008, 03:50 PM

You know...I've got a tank, fenders & pipes from a red '05 over in the for sale section. They just happen to still be connected to the rest of the bike

digitalbroccoli · 01-14-2008, 04:22 PM

owwie. that just sucks.

JohnnyFriend · 01-14-2008, 06:11 PM

Your lucky--same thing happende to my friend a few years back and lets just say he won't be riding anymore.

Be thankfull all you need is a new bike.

robertc729 · 01-14-2008, 06:47 PM

Sucks about the wreck

@ Joe

Powerslave · 01-14-2008, 06:52 PM

Yeah, that would take a good few items to replace. How'd the dent get in the TOP of the gas-tank??? I would love to buy those rims, those are the ones I want for my C50T... I think for what it would cost to repair that, you could get another used one of the same year, that's a lot of pieces at a few hundered each, looks like $2300.00 worth of damage.

Don M50limited · 01-14-2008, 08:31 PM

Ouch, glad you're relatively alright.......heal up quick.

oyrider · 01-14-2008, 08:53 PM

Well, I'm glad you're doing okay. Otherwise, "Its only a flesh wound!"

The Pope · 01-15-2008, 06:10 AM

Bummer! Glad that it wasn't worse than it was. You're in my prayers for a speedy recovery!

DocStark · 01-15-2008, 09:21 AM

thats a hard loss man...are you planning to git another bike soon...

Maniac_rider · 01-15-2008, 12:40 PM

I appreciate everyones good thoughts and prayers. I'm very thankful to still be here, able to write this. As far as the bike goes, I get word from the insurance whether or not is totaled on Friday, and will go from there. Not sure if I'll be buying another bike anytime soon, I'll probably give it a month or two before I jump into it.

P.S. I have 2 yellow rear turn signal lenses that survived, bids anyone????!!!!!

Thanks all

Maniac....

SNAFU · 01-15-2008, 12:45 PM

I hope you have a speedy recovery and good to see your sense of humor is still okay.
