My beloved 2000 Legend (The Mistress) is dead. A teenage driver decided to make an illegal left turn and hit me. I was only in 2nd gear and not going more than 20mph given that I desparately attempting to stop and manuever around her. Didn't make it. Now my Triumph mechanic tells me the bike is totalled as the shifter rod is busted and forks would need replacing No insurance company is going to pay for the repairs given the blue book value of the bike. She should have her licensed revoked! Now, I wait and see what kind of settlement I can get and look for a new Triumph. But, she was the one I loved!!! This sucks!!!! Thanks for listening. Anyone need parts? I imagine I'll be selling it off in parts.

Soryr to hear of your accident. It does sound eminently repiarable if you are handy and can do the work yourself.
If it were me I would get a settlement from the insurance co that includes keeping the bike, then replace the shifter drum and do a fork / brakes upgrade. I bet you could end up pocketing some cash and having an upgraded bike to boot (albeit with a rebuilt title)! :-D
