OldBear Posted August 7, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 7, 2009 What WAS the damage? Frame? IF it looks ok and, MORE importantly, IF IT RIDES OK, it may be a real deal. Be sure though to find out how it rides/tracks. ALSO, what are the laws re "salvage title" for a road bike in your state? Can you GET license plates/insurance for it? Check it out before you spend your $$. In know in some states, at least in years gone by, "salvage", meant that you could not license/insure for street use!! Caveat Emptor, but GOOD LUCK!! If ya can title it and it looks good and rides good, who CARES what the title says, You get a cheap ride:innocent-emoticon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted August 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 7, 2009 depending on the damage - it may not be worth the $6650 but if I didn't have an '07' I sure would look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Fan Posted August 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted August 8, 2009 Probably for the better. Salvage titles can have underlying troubles that you can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a title has been registered as a SALVAGE title it cannot be changed back. Car dealers will not take a SALVAGE titled vehicle on trade and a lot of banks will not loan on a SALVAGE title unless your credit is such that you're above question.

Condor Posted August 8, 2009 Share #17 Posted August 8, 2009 It's fun to dream...What if? I've lusted after a 2ndGen, and a Stratoliner, in the past, but neither happened for one reason of another. I understand the feeling about not riding with so many bikes in the stable. With health issues and oil leaks I've been sitting for the last 6-7 months. But I'm happy to say the '83 has been rejuvenated by replacing the old leaky forks with MkII forks, R1 calipers, and a new rear Avon. It's ALIVE!!!!!! It's amazing how the psychy improves when there's a bike sitting there ready to ride. Now it's on to the '91 and it's leak. The rest of the bikes I consider 'one-of-these-days kits'. Do you have anything that's close to being ridable? Instead of being overwhelmed, and thinking about all the projects, concintrate on just one. If none of them are close to road worthy, maybe it's time to become an Ebay seller. Bank the money you get from the parts and go out and buy a very clean 1stGen or 2ndGen. I bet you have enough part$ buck$ to get something that you don't have to wrench on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So..... it doesn't make any difference if you own a 2ndGen or not.. The leg and happy pills are keeping you out of the saddle. Ommmmm.... I see a trike in the future...

Unless that leg of yours heals up OK it'll be either a trike or a pogo stick..... Beside a trike is like a 58 Chevy Impala... It grows on ya.... Didn't I just see a pic of a V-Max Trike???
