      I've spent most of my money on women, beer, cars and motorcycles. The rest of it I just wasted.

          Ok. But the real question is HOW did you break your frame?
          Don't spend money and buy, spend time and learn.

            T1, soft grass got a good grip on the rearsets and snapped the mounts, something I expect on Ducati but not on Hawk

                I've crashed there 1000 times. Usually a pretty good place to crash and not mess the bike up too bad.

                        Hope you’re okay. Plans to rebuild it?

                          Welp, that's a hit. Doesn't look unsalvageable but it looks like a lot of work.

                          It appears, from here, to be mostly cosmetic. Can you fire a new set of track fairings on it and still use it for track duty while you try and get the street sorts collected again ?


                          Listen, if you don't want to fix that I understand completely. Just pack it up and send it to me, I'll make sure I give it a good home

                            It'll be good - started stripping down for extensive rebuild and then it gets binned out for a V4s or an 1198.
                            That's what happens when a wide open throttle jams against a brake lever guard by shifting 2mm to the right. 130mph straight into a tyre wall. Just bruises & sprains. I'm luckier than Kylie, so there, ner.

                              Your bike took a pretty good hit but it's only a Ducati, so you're good.
