Ok I'm a bit behind the times apparently

Just saw the sad sight at City Honda today and didn't realise this happened a week ago. R.I.P. VTR.

Insurance might bin it I think. Well a lot of the time they do tend to pay out for another bike if the damage is too much. I mean 86's Tiger didn't look that bad but was written off by the insurance company.

Heh, that's coz Triumph parts are obscenely expensive.... Mind you Honda parts are'nt exactly cheap either truth be told. I guess taking into account the tank being damaged it's possible they might write it off, if the tank was clean i'd say they repair the bike but it's hard to say, I guess it all comes down to the cost of the damage.

Doesn't it also take just the smallest of dings on the frame to become a write off?

Hmm, did'nt notice any dent in the frame.... Depends on how big it is and where it I reckon but that's only guessing, you might be correct, any dent may perhaps render it un-warrant of fitnessable.

Got a plan given decent weather, out east. I've also noticed that the Black Stump has'nt been open the past few times i've been through Pahiatua so maybe it's no longer a refreshment destination...

Dudley Arms is the place to be....

New Chain, New Brakes... So as long as the opportunity is there to hammer the brakes and stretch the new chain doing clown wheelies... I'm in again!

Oh and if anyone wants to throw a leg over the 675, just yell out, all applications considered, nothing promised.
