I dropped my bike in a turn the other day. Luckily, I am all right (just some bruises, nothing broken). However, the bike that I paid $2900 for (used 03 vulcan 500) just got an estimate of 4 grand to fix. What should I do? Should I try to sell the parts, or try to find the parts and get another mechanic? What would you do?
