Taken away on a stretcher...

Had The Blue Bullet towed today. Cost me $165 to tow the bitch! What a rip off, I mean it went from 135 St to 95 St... Ugh. I towed it to:

Speed Motorcycles (917) 492-1573 324 E. 95th St, New York, NY (Ask for Manuel or Willy)

Doesn't look so bad from this side...


Even this side looks like scrapes and bent handlebars


Both engine covers are thrashed


Right corner fairing/headlight/air duct was shredded


Left corner fairing/headlight/air duct was shredded as well as a cracked mid upper left fairing


Being taken away on the stretcher... The last time I may see The Blue Bullet



Found out that the bike is worth about $5,420 and the damage before labor will be in the ballpark of $5,000-$6,000. So for the most part it's going to be totalled out. If the bike is worth $5,420 and the repairs exceed that number they will just cut me a check for the value of the bike minus my $500 deductible. So pretty much I expect a check for $4,700 or so.
