The good thing about crashing your bike is you learn to respect it, respect other drivers and respect the weather conditions. Every rider should crash once in their lives to experience what can happen. You'll learn from this and be a more experienced driver afterwards. Sorry about your bike, ideal moment to learn to work on it yourself and learn new skills. Time to move on.

We all crash, never met a rider that hasn't gone down, it will get better, understanding why you went down will help you become a better rider, keep riding and you will be a much better rider after the crash

Glad you’re ok. I’ve put my bike down sliding the front out twice since 2020, once with a broken collar bone, and the second with sprung ribs, so I understand not feeling like riding. You’ll have to decide if it’s still for you, and if you can do it without being a nervous wreck at the end of every ride. Been a bit of a struggle for me, but I’m pushing just to make sure if I stop, it’s because I want to, and not because I don’t have the confidence to be on the bike. My advice is to go out on some fun rides, get back into enjoying riding, then go back into light traffic. Build it up. Hope you get where you’re trying to go. Me too....I hope to get back on the bike, but I think, I will take it slow, when conditions are wet. Im broke, after the repair bill will come in. |

Today, one guy commented on my crash video, like this: "hahah is this comment section a joke whys it all asking to use it in a video"And my answer to him was this: "Because It is nice to ask for owners permission first, to use the video. I do not like, when people use my stuff, without permission. Its rude"Anyway..... Im gonna sell my 1990 Vaz Lada 1300SL 21063 Russian sedan car, to pay for my bikes repairs. Today One guy came and looked ower the car and he was happy, that the car has strong body and looks nice. He told me, that he will take it, when he sells his other car. I did ask for 900e, but I told him, I can do 700€ too and alloy wheels come with the car too. Hope I can get the car sold soon to him. And also get my bike back.  |

I hope to get my bike back soon, in near future. Or I get it back and then its end of the motorcycle season for this year. And I have to take my bike to the garage. I might not ride again, when its raining outside, because I did crash it. Im affraid, that next time, I will not be so lucky and I could crash it, while Im going faster then 30 km/h.
I think, I did figure it out, why my bike repairs take so long time.
1. Its a small repair shop, owened by the dealership, what brings Aprilia motorcycles to my country.
2. They have always lots of scooters outside of that shop, what are waiting for repairs or service.
3. They might work little bit on each bike, while they wait for parts to arrive (that is what I think).
Also, I did sell my car ... The white soviet classic, from the year 1990. Selling it, was little bit heartbreaking, but I needed the money. And I do not have license to drive anyway. I always drove, with my friend, who has it. I will stick, with the 2-wheel friends. Might go and do license for that. If I have time.

Today, I got good news from the repair shop. My bike is done. It took 2.5 months to repair my bike.
They did:
Frame welding, both D50B engine waterpump seals were swapped, water pump shaft was replased, clutch cover seal was replaced and also clutch discs and springs (Malossi), New wiring (old one was burned down), the front headlight mount was fixed (it broke, after the crash), chain tension plate was replaced, new gearbox oil and coolant (Motul) and the valve sheets were also swapped to Malossi ones. It took 12h to do and that cost was 400€.
The total bill for everything including that 400€, was 897,98€.

Glad it's back together.
Did it brake some of the mounting points on the frame then to need welding?

I do not have that money in hand right now. I had it, but I inversted it to bicycle tools and stuff. Even fixed one bicycle too. It was 1990´s Scott Sandoa Adventure MTB. Before  Now:   |
