If you decide to do the rebuld option i have an oven that should be big enough to powder coat the frame. and i also have gloss black and flat black powder on hand. so we could probaly get it like new for very close to free (beer for me propane for the oven and a trip out here to fayetteville)

just an option

if it will fit i will bake it i am not about segregration just send measurment from the frame head to the back and i will measur the oven aparatus. i assume that an rc has a removable subfram so it would more than likely fit

I'm still looking, but I'm having trouble finding one.  PlusI have no idea how long it's gonna take Barnett's and my insurance company to get their shit finished.   


(And I actually caught myself looking at Banditos on ebay last night.    )

They do have a removable subframe, but the RC51s came with flat black frames.

I think the DMF has an official "I'm drunk" thread. 

Got a call from the dealer this afternoon...


$9,200 worth of damage.

I'll give you $50 for it. Cash.

I bet you would.   

So it looks like I'm going to be getting a check from my insurance company tomorrow afternoon.

It's time to decide what I'm going to replace my S4 with.

I've been looking at a bunch of bikes and am having a really hard time figuring out what I want.



Here's what I've been looking at (in no particular order)...

Honda RC51
Husqvarna SMR510
Husqvarna SM610
BMW G650X
Hypermotard
SBK (996/996S/998/748S/748R/D16RR)
Sport Classic
KTM 950 SMR



Anybody have any other suggestions or comments to add to my confusion?

Husqvarna SM610 


We *could* make suggestions, but a price limit would help. Offhand, HP2

Yeah, notice I slipped in the Desmosedici under SBK.   

For a price limit, I'd like to keep it at $9,000 to be able to pay cash for it.  If the bike were sweet enough though, I'd probably be willing to take out a $3,000 loan.  I'd rather avoid having to make payments until I get out of school though.
