I keep looking at those pictures, there is not one part that doesn't look damaged. Glad your on the mend.

Silly as it sounds, I would piece the bike back together and ride it. Both of you will have battle scars. I wouldn't junk it, nor fix it back to perfect.

New handlebars, new levers, grips, throttle if needed, rear end tailight, blinkers, etc.. fork upper tubes maybe?

Not saying it has to be your only bike-- but it deserves to ride again, if even as a scarred up story to tell where ever you go on it. If the insurance company totals it, the buy back will be dirt cheap, just call them and ask.

The cost to get it back on the road as is would not be much. I've got spare stock handlebars, grips, throttle tube. You can have them for free, just tell me your address.

The bike can be replace. Your attitude is awesome for all you have been through.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

With the amount of damage to the head, I wouldn't even bother. There could be micro cracks deep in the metal that you just can't see that would cause a failure down the road. The head took a MAJOR hit and that makes it just not worth keeping/fixing.

Meh, it's a few cooling fins. If it bothered someone, there is a low mile head on EBay for a few hundred.

I would definitely buy it back from the insurance company, if it was cheap, $500 or less. It would give you something to play with until you are healed.

Damn!

Really tough to look at. Your wife is a great photographer, by the way.

I'm able to get into and out of a wheelchair and use the bathroom without assistance. No more bed pans.Big Grin

Just those little things like using the bathroom and getting out of the chair are milestones of improvement! Thanks for posting the pictures. It's a reminder for all of us to gear up before we leave the house. A huge shout out to your wife for taking care of you and being so supportive! Each day you'll get stronger, one step at a time.
take care, Russ
