dirtydiesel Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 So over the weekend. I wrecked my bike. Pretty bad. I bent the forks the tank and ripped off a muffler. I suffered minor injuries. So Im fine. I can still walk and work. But since my 521is in pieces and my bike is trashed i dont have my own vehicle. and i dont know what to do. Should i sell off my datsun to piece together money for a car. And in the future get another. Or should i let it sit and rot for a hand full of years. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 although it may be hard, i'd sell it considering someone can use it. that's of course if you are not going to use it anytime soon. think about it Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Salvage the carbs to use for your 521. Get a nice pair of Nikes, and a bus pass. You'll have the coolest shoes on the bus! Your profile says you have an Explorer to drive... Quote Link to comment
dirtydiesel Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 My dad took over the explorer so he has somethin to drive to work. I would take transit if it didn't hurt so much to walk. That's the only reason why i am toughen it out is for work. Lol. Hopefully i can walk better by Thursday. Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 But since my 521is in pieces.....:o Whats more....? Money spent on another car or put truck back together? Is it in major project mode? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ya how many pieces? Quote Link to comment
dirtydiesel Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Its currently in frame off mode. I have the suspension complete. I started on the cab but then had to move out of my shop. So its in many pieces and Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Forget selling. Even if together and running you are lucky to get 2/3 of what you have in it. This is a basket case give away, so save it and finish later. Take the bus, commute with fellow workers, get a bike, walk. Save up and get a POS Ford ToreAss or FuckAss. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Get a nice pair of Nikes, and a bus pass. I would take transit if it didn't hurt so much to walk. Comfortable shoes Man. Your feet should never be uncomfortable. Or hurting from your injuries sustained from a motorcycle wreck? Wish ya luck on getting better, and getting all sorted out. But don't sell your truck. You'll end up losing out. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 nobody will give you jack for a basket case 521, that's just reality. I think your going to have to find another way to get cash for another daily. you should be able to find a cheap bike to keep costs down. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 you should be able to find a cheap bike to keep costs down. Only if his insurance company doesn't know about the wreck. ;) Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 yea dude don't sell. hit up the police auctions. you can find a decent driver/beater for $500 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 get a 50cc scooter that way you save gas $$ and insurance $$ so you can put more $$ to your truck, may not have the speed or looks of a ninja but better than nothing and more convenient than the bus, and it will teach you a lesson on safe riding Quote Link to comment
dirtydiesel Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 My fast and furious days are over. Lol. i finally made my way to the doctors last night. For some gut pains i felt were related to my injuries. They have me a cat scan after removing rocks out of my calf. I have some internal bruising but nothin serious. Quote Link to comment
