Well My Insurance Company Finally Settled In Totaling Out The Bumble-Bee. I Am Thinking Of Selling It As A Whole Parts Bike. I Will Sell It As -Is, Salvage. I Will Be Receiving A Certificate Of Destruction From The State Of Florida And It Will Accompany The Bike. The Most Of The Damage Was To the Aftermarket Parts,(Bags & Fairing), But Because The Total Claim Exceeded 90 % Of The Worth Of The Bike It is Considered Totaled. I Hope To Sell It To Someone That Wants It For The Engine And Body Parts. The Only Noticeable Damage Is To The Engine Guards And A Couple Of Scrapes In The Paint On The Saddlebags. The Bike Has Just Under 60,000 Miles On It. It Is Still Ride-able And There Is No Damage To The Frame Or Other Major Components. If I Have To I Will Part It Out, But This Will Be My Last Option. If Anyone Is Interested In Purchasing It, Please Let Me Know. I Am Asking $2500.00 For The Complete Bike In Riding Condition , For PARTS ONLY. Thanks, Bert Left Engine Guard Damage & Broken KuryAkyn Cruiser Peg  Right Engine Guard Damage & Broken KuryAkyn Cruiser Peg  Front View Of Left Side With Broken Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing  Left Saddlebag Damage  Right Saddlebag Damage  Right Side View Of The Bike  Small Scratch On Right Rear Of The Saddlebag  |

This is sad Bert, how can such a fine running/driving machine be considered junk ? That just ain't right. Is what it is i guess.

I Will Try To Load Some Pictures Tomorrow, The Doctors Have Been Keeping Me Busy Tending To This Leg, Which Is A Good Thing. I Am Looking Forward To Getting It Healed Up So I Can Continue My " Life Therapy", So I Must Comply.

Once it has a certificate of destruction, only way is to replace the frame, New from Honda ,A little over $900, pinwal or some outfit like that might have a frame with title. Still would be a good deal. |

 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

Thanks To All Of You That Had Interested In My Valkyrie. I Did Not Have Any Serious Offers So I Purchased A Frame With A Clear Title While It Was Available And I Will Be Rebuilding The Bumble-Bee This Winter. It Will Be Like A new One When I'm Done.
Thanks Again,
Bert

Sounds like a good excuse for a wrench party. Glad you decided to keep it. Swapping over is not too bad a project. The tourer I have now, I took it down to the frame and rebuilt from there.

Thanks To All Of You For Your Encouragement. Right Now I Am Working On Getting The Wound Healed Where The Dr. Put The Hardware In My Leg, It Is Being A Bit Stubborn At This Time And I Am Doing Everything I Can To Get Healed Up So I Can Ride This Fall. I Need A Good Mind Clearing, As It Is Well Over-Due. You All Ride Safe, Bert.
