Link I trust the rider's ok
It's mine !! And he's very poorly. This is what he was like once:

Think I'll ring the garage holding Ted and ask after the rider down.

| | Posted : 08 Oct 2015 - 09:01 Post title : Re: Ted's badly hurt (the bike) (Re: GerPa) | | | I've no idea. I sold it on nearly 4 years ago then spotted it on ebay. What fool would pay 3.5k for this? A pal's Explorer fell over on the Bilbao ferry a month ago and was badly scratched but functional. His insurance company have priced his repair at ??5.5k so God knows what it would cost to fix this - I reckon it's finished.
It looks like it's gone into the back of a car and flipped over. Hope the rider maintained contact with his testicles. Just realised, its the bike in't avatar

I "totaled" my first Storm the day I rode it home back in 2011. Similar damage (front forks, wheel, fender, radiator, etc.). I bought it from my insurance company for $2500 US, and sold it to a bike mechanic for $6500. He had it back on the road in a month! That was in May'11, when the Storm first came out and parts were scarce.
This one should be an easy fix to get back on the road. But 3500 Euro is STEEP!!!
