Subject: poor bike ... need help!


Hi all,

on sunday, June 7th I smashed my poor @. :-(((
Here´s what happened:

After aprox. 500 km of riding through the alps having worst weather
conditions we reached Tuscany, where it stopped raining. Most of my
companions slipped out of their rainsuits, and we started, heading towards
our hotel at Castel l´Aquarto. Shortly after this break, we rode on a road
with some few wet spots. On this road, we had to drive round a right-hand
curve, where my front wheel skidded without any signs. So, me and my @
smashed into the ditch. The guy riding back of me shared this experience,
so that I think, that the final spot wasn´t just water....
This event caused a serious contusion of my right shoulder and leg, my
friend additionaly broke some of his ribs.
My friend´s bike, a Triumph Thunderbird, was damaged at it´s headlight,
mirrors and handlebar.
On my @, there are lot more things wrecked. I asked my dealer for an
estimate. He told me, that I´ve to spend aprox. 8000.-DM, if I want him to
repair the bike... UFFF!

Well, that´s why I need help. Does anyone know, where I can get (used)
spare parts ? I need nearly all of the front parts:

- front wheel, incl. brake discs,
- fork (quite complete)
- front plastic parts ("Verkleidung"), incl wind shield
- right hand plastic parts
- plastic parts holder
- headlights
- instruments incl. panel
- handlebar, mirrors, handles

I´m thankful for any advice.

Flo
