That looks expensive...

(Apologies for the naff captions - I'm obviously not on good enough
medication.)

 

This has a certain appeal, just a pity it's on the wrong side of the
country.

Depending on where you are in Ontario, anywhere between 1500 and 3000
miles. It's about 2800 from here in Ottawa.

Arr bugger. Orilia is where he resides now. He'd have liked it though.

**** - how did the headstock end up like this?

It almost looks like the front subframe ripped it open.

 

And thus ensure the bike is nicely written off.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Whoo. I think a bruised todger is a small price to pay for being able to
escape worse injury. Looking at that, my first thought would be the
rider must surely have broken a limb or two.

On seeing the engine damage, I'll give you 50quid, and that's cutting me
own froat.

Given the way the tank bag was removed, I'm rather pleased that the
todger is still attached, never mind a little bit of bruising.

You did notice those pictures that showed a large part of it was
missing, didn't you? I've got a vague feeling that the bit that's gone
was something to do with the oil filter thingummy - couldn't get close
enough to the bike to look underneath properly.

Ah, it's not just a cover that's missing, then.
Ho hum. If it's beyond repair and you get the salvage, you might get a
fair sum in total for the engine bits should you break it.

And the falco is, erm, Falco!

 

Oh, no. I think that's roughly where the oil filter went in - I need to
have a look at the engine manual to check.

Ack. Haven't got the time or the inclination - unless the salvage is
ridiculously cheap.

 

Heh - I wondered how long that would take.

 

you don't read NTK then?

 

Well, I'm glad not to disappoint. Although
I though darsy would have beaten me to it.

 

Ummm... no idea. Cat B can be broken for parts, so presumably they'd
have to sell it to someone to do the breaking.

 

I expected it from him nearly a week ago, to be honest.
