WetLeather Motorcycle Rider Information

Saturday, I rode the Ducati south to Eastside, so that they can inventory the cosmetic dings I inflicted on it two weeks ago, when I had my baby crash on the 80th St off-ramp off I-5 South. Sigh.

I worry that it will be totaled - because Italian parts are so bloody expensive. I knew going in that it needed:

• new bars (tweaked)
• brake lever and bar end
  
• termi, right side (ground a little hole)
• right side plastic cover under the seat
• tank replace/repair (road rash)
• headlight

What I had missed was a rounded off end at the bottom of the right fork. :-/ 

Sean said Termi's come only in pairs ... that the tank was about $1400 (eeek) but he'd bring in someone to see if it could be repaired for less than that. Pipes + tank + forks is gonna be more than a 60K mile bike is valued, I fear, even with a rebuilt engine. 

I guess I need to go re-read Joanna's thread on adjusters and salvage titles and the like.
