Tricycle
Sorry for the cross-posting but I am desperate: Yesterday I got into an accident - I rear ended a car (don't want to go into details now). I am OK but the bike is in a very bad shape - I think. If you look at these pictures, what do you think? As you can see, there is heavy bodywork damage. I was able to start up the engine (by pulling the clutch, because there is no neutral/light). With the engine stopped I tried all the gears, they seem to be working - but it still felt like it was not going to neutral. Or is it just the switch? How can I figure it out? The frame does not seem to be bent - basically I did an emergency braking and wiped out on its right side, then slid into the cars bumper in front of me - that did the left side's damage. The right antler is broken off - the left one is intact, I just removed all the bags to take them home. As I live in a condo, of course I can't even bring the bike home - it is in a pound now but I will haver to have it moved soon - maybe my workplace... What do you think I should do with the bike? Of course as stupid as I am, there is no collision coverage on the insurance, so the wreck is pretty much mine. What a pain! I just installed the crash bars and the Hellas among other things. Sould I try to sell it as it is (could I?), or is it worth it to try to fix it? Anybody interested in it give me an offer - I am in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. RThanks for the imputs - I feel completely clueless now.
