An exercise in free market economy

Amount my bike was worth pre-accident: $500

Amount it would cost just to buy a new swing arm, before labor: $200-$300
Amount each of a large handful of other parts would cost: $10-$50
Surety that my bike would be safe to ride after repairs: Low

Amount I could easily get from a salvage shop: $25-$50
Amount I could get from a salvage shop with a little wheedling: $100

and..

Amount a fuel tank similar to mine is going for on eBay: $100
Amount bikes like mine being sold for parts are going for on eBay: $150+
Amount it would cost to buy a full seat like mine new: $100-$200
Amount it would cost to buy a new cover like my bike's seat cover: $30
Amount I could probably get for my engine/trans on eBay: $100-$200
Amount a guy at work would buy my engine for, just to mess with it: $200

Best course of action looks pretty clear to me.

Evening plans

Equinox/Doug's_New_Job party at gothiccripple's and beastinme's in Manassas!

But first, a stop by home to a) say hi 'n' stuff, and b) take pictures of the motorcycle for c) posterity and d) auctions/classifieds. :)

Tomorrow, bike auction and sale at Coleman Powersports in Falls Church. I doubt I'll get a bike tomorrow, but who knows? :)
