Ever been hit by a F-150? I have.
02/03/10 at 09:59:12

Last Tuesday I was hit head on by a cager and his large truck. It broke my thigh and also broke my arm twice. He says the sun was in his eyes, but I had my headlight on and a reflective vest. I realized it was bad when I was upside down and flying through the air. Anyways the bike is totaled and I am too. They put a titanium rod in my thigh and a cast on my arm. I can't walk without my walker. Should be ok in a couple of months. Good thing is this means I have some parts I no longer need and will separate with on the cheap. It will be a little while before I gather a list but I know stock drive train(belt and pulleys), handle bars, set of Harley bars, rear and front fender, upgraded cam chain, two oil filters, rear seat, west eagle solo seat with springs and bracket, Memphis wind shield, belt guard, etc.

Reply #9 - 02/03/10 at 12:38:48 Yeah, I wouldn't blame you if you decided to quit riding, but at least the Savage is a cheap, easily replaceable bike. I bet everyone who needs one of your parts will give you a good price for it, especially if the proceeds will help get you another bike. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Right now I think I am going to take a break from motorcycles, people just dont pay attention while driving. When I do get back into them I will surely get another savage. As for the parts I wouldn't be looking to make money off any of them cause they all came with the bike originally except the solo seat that one may need to be more than $5 and shipping. As of right now I'm looking at getting a classic 'cuda or Challenger with the settlement money. As well as a piece of land I can call my own.

Reply #11 - 02/03/10 at 13:10:31 Yeah those Challengers look pretty badass, as do most of the retro-muscle cars. The new Camaro makes me want to get my hands on a '68 SS and restore it. Keeping one or two Savage parts seems like a good idea, both for later recycling and as a keepsake-reminder that you may want to get back into it one day.
