Hey guys,
Okay, so I went down. Sucked, slid on some metal grating on this street and went down on the right side at about 25 doing a turn. DAMMMMMMM!!!!! #$%@^@*!& it's a 2008 aprilia shiver.
I'm okay, sprained ankle and have some pretty bad rashes on knee and fore arm.
I need help with the bike and I have questions to assess the damage. I don't know what I'm looking at yet and my wife and I have a road trip planned in 2 weeks. I don't have a lot of money right now, so will need to buy parts and figure it out.
Please help me with all your infinite wisdom!
Here's the damage:
Foot Peg - That I can just buy a new one. 30 bucks. Fine.
Right Turn signal - I will have to live with it for now I think... get to that in a bit.
Oil Case cover - here's where I'm nervous, when we pulled the bike back up, there was oil coming on the outside of the cover and on the ground. The oil case doesn't look too badly damaged. I've attached a picture. But it's not too bad I think. But oil was on the outside and on the ground. What could this be? Busted? Seal busted? Replace? No big deal, whatcha think? No visible oil leak, but oil was definitely coming out of the casing while it was down I believe.
Radiator - the radiator seems to be okay as a whole, but the screw holding it together was busted and it may be that the hose connecting from the resevuour to the radio was disconnected... thoughts? I also have a picture of this but it's fuzzy.
I would really like to see what I can fix, I'm super tight on cash right now.
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
ugh, I'm so rattled I probably wont sleep tonight. dammmmmmmm:doh:
