Nah, the Cub was truly buggered. The engine casing was the biggie, but because of the corrugations, it tumbled several times, ensuring a good spread of damage. I'm sure everything that can be salvaged, has been salvaged - we can call it charity. I lost very little, some poor people gained a comparitive lot.
Because I was quite remote at the time, and noone could give me a lift with the bike, that also hamstringed any plans of recovery. The best part of 6k is quite a long trip on a scooter anyway! BUT...
There is no giving up here. I'm going back out, but I am taking a big bike (125cc) and a girlfriend with me.
Thanks for the kind comments though people!
Where else am I going to find a bike that will toss me off? sorry, unfortunately ambiguity there!
