A crashed Birdie - Page 2

Well, I'm planning on fixing it. After pulling it apart, most of the bike is in great condition. I wasnt gonna do this if it cost more money than it is worth. At first with brand new OEM parts, I was looking at 800-1k. But after searching, I found someone parting out an enduro with a 21 inch wheel. They want 80 dollars for the triple clamps, forks, front wheel and front brake.

That doesn't put me back at all if I fix my bike. I dont know if I'll highway drive, but I sure as hell want a dirtbike. And all in all the hawk is still cheaper than if I bought a brand new dirtbike

You can try this method for removing the dent in your tank.

Hope you feeling better. I have a question how where them tires for street driving. Do they feel squirmy? Hope you get it back together soon.

I've been feeling back to normal and have recovered recovered well. I'm back at work again.

I really liked those tires for street and offroad. I thought they did a good balance. They weren't squirmy at all and wore well. They felt solid and cornered well.

I went to the ER and nothing is broken, they did some xrays and an ultra sound of my testicles. My testicles honestly were freaking smashed and definately most injured part, they're swollen and dark blue... but otherwise I'm doing alright. I wasnt walking the first day and a half of recovery, but I'm able to be limping around.

The hawk is pretty trashed. the front wheel is in a c shape, the forks got bent, the gas tank is dented to hell and most plastics are broke. the frame, whole rear end, seat are all fine. engine is unscathed.

sounds like an unrelated problem to me...

Glad to hear you recovered.

My last MC crash was 40+ years ago. I learned how to fly the hard way after putting my bike under the rear of a car on a gravel road and me flying 25-30 yard through the air. Nothing broke my split helmet and my pride.

Nothing like a full body sprain to make you respect a bike.

Like the saying goes. "There's two kinds of motorcycle riders. Those that have crashed and those that will" I'm just glad I got that out the way when I was young and my body healed faster. lol
