    Crud. Bike got stolen and now I have a totalled scooter

    Scooter got stolen from outside my place in Massey which is literally down a long dead-end road.
    Cops found it yesterday not far from home pushed down a bank and looking in very bad condition. Whole front end is fucked.

    Now I'm in the situation of getting it out and home as is uninsured (needed stuff done for WOF and winter so wasn't using it) - which is fine, all good, whatever.

    But my main question is, where on earth can I take my now totalled scooter to be disposed of? Pick a part etc only take cars.

    Gutted. Scrap metal would be near negligible. It might be worthwhile selling it to a wrecker? Might be worth $200 or so, if there are still useable parts. Otherwise, $1 reserve is your best bet. Clean it up a bit before putting photos up though.

    Try and get the motor running, It'll definitely be worth something to someone then...
