There is a lot more damage. forward controls, foot pegs, primary case,
clutch lever, mirror. etc,etc.
But the good news is it still runs and I can keep riding this summer and
teardown and paint this winter.

The picture of the complete bike is before the accident but to answer your
question by the time I got stoped I was only going about 10 MPH thats why I
only got brused and it only did about $4,000.00 in damage

The appraisal on the bike is $32,000 and is insured for said amount
the paint is $2,800 etc,etc. The price of bikes is so far out of line it
just blows me away
the last bike I built was a 1956 Panhead a beautiful old school chopper in
the early 80's and the initial
basket case was $500.00 and I don't think I put more than 3 or 4 grand into
the finished product. I hope I can sell this bike before the bottom falls
out of the market. are bikes (Harleys and the like) as expensive there as
they are here?

I really don't have the slightest idea about that... so I did a search
for Harleys from the 1990s on www.mobile.de ("Motorräder suchen" on the
left) and got 464 hits... starting at ~1500EUR... last hit is almost
50000EUR.
I got my bike driver's licence 11 years ago but never touched a bike
since then. No money in the beginning, then too few time, then my spine
started to be a problem... last year my doc said I wasn't even allowed
to think about driving a bike. Otherwise I'd end up in a wheelchair
sooner or later ("but probably sooner"). :-(

some discs in my spine have almost reached their end of life ("discus
protrusions" at C3/4/5 and L1/2... the first step right before a "discus
prolaps").

hardtail
