https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx? auctionID=0&itemID=19322517&RowNumber=2&loadRecent =True At least it looks like the wiring is mostly there. (just not the insulation) Joking aside, look at this 1190: https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx? auctionID=18605143&itemID=19123443&RowNumber=1&loa dRecent=True That actually look quite fixable. Anyone here ever successfully get an insurance bike back from the dead? | ||

That 1190 hit a guardrail, it used to belong to Kyle Brienza, I'm not sure if he is on here but I saw him post about it on Facebook. | ||

Did he lose the front end due to new/cold tires? | ||

Looked like target fixation. Probably got on the brakes in the turn, saw the thing he didn't want to hit, and couldn't get off the brakes and re-establish the turn (which is a pretty hard thing to do once your brain locks on something) before he got off the pavement. It happens, especially to newer riders or riders on unfamiliar bikes. I did it (but was fortunate that time to be able to ride it back out of the grass and back onto the road). Glad he is OK! | ||

Nate, I did a buy back from the dead for my own Uly from the insurance company of the person that hit me. It was a hassle, and you end up with rebuilt title (as opposed to normal title), but it is all very doable. In my case, I had to take my title to the DMV, and have them change it to "salvage title". I then sent a copy of that new title with that status shown to the insurance company. They then sent me a check for the difference between the replacement value of the bike, and the salvage buyback price. This was USAA, and they were very fair with me. Not overpaying, but not screwing me either. I had an unresolved medical settlement still pending, and I made clear to them that if they try and screw me on the bike settlement I will be much more likely to involve a lawyer in the medical settlement, but I don't know if that was a factor or not. After getting the salvage title, I had to fix everything, keep receipts, then take the bike and receipts up to the State Highway Patrol garage with some form. They inspected the bike repairs and the bike and made copies of the receipts, and signed the form. I could then take that form back to the DMV and get the salvage title changed into a rebuilt title, which works like a normal title but with a scarlet letter on it for future buyers (fair enough IMHO, they have a right to know). The bike will forever be "rebuilt". This was all Ohio. I'm sure it varies state to state. (Message edited by reepicheep on August 17, 2015) | ||

Cool. At least chopper-tards don't go for the liquid cooled bikes. Saw another on CL yesterday- a 1997 Thunderbolt. Some tool took the heads and jugs to upgrade his dumb 883. Selling the rest for $1000 I think. People don't bore out 883 bikes anymore? Wouldn't that be easier/better than taking used parts out of a complete bike? | ||

Kyle posted about the crash on facebook, he hit sand, bike started to lowside, he recovered but it was too late and couldn't avoid the guardrail. | ||

OK homies here is the Buell kit: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/5172069032.ht ml Good luck. I'm sure the monkeys were careful in taking it apart and didn't just cut the wires and hoses. | ||

Looks like he is selling a complete S1, and also the bottom end of a cyclone motor. Am I reading that wrong? | ||
| Hughlysses |
^ That's what I read. Somebody needs to get that S1. | ||
