    Unhappy Help - cost to fix my bike?

    I finally have a motorbike! Hooray
    But whilst practicing riding, i had a little fall round a roundabout. The motorbike has a bent right handle bar, and the horn and one of the headlights have stopped working. Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix?

    A little fearfulness is a good thing. Tends toward keeping you alive.

    Handle bars can almost always be kicked straight, or straightened with a bit of water pipe.

    Horn and light not working sounds like some wiring got wrenched loose. Or the bolb in the headlight just got a bang.

    If there is a clued up Welly rider could have a look for you, probably not cost anything.

    Oh, and get yourself on a riding course. ASAP.

    poor gummibear. Sorry I don't live nearby, miss. Get someone to look at it for ya, get what parts u have to have and get some helpful person to slap them on for ya, and save up for the parts that you really should replace as well.

    not that long.

    maybe stop and try again, or resize them

    something is wrong, unless you are dialup and the pics are 1MB each.

    On broadband, it should take just a minute or so.

    Check the pics are smallish and try again and read the destructions carefully.

    If its fixable less than $100. If it needs replacing than that is a figure SGP will pull out of the sky. Talk to wreckers as there are 100's of 1000's of second hand parts for these things now.
