    Unhappy Crashed my bike - motorcycle salvage shops?

    Hi guys, I crashed my bike this afternoon in Caledon. The engine and rear are okay. the front forks are badly bent, front rims dented, fairings broken. Are there any bike salvage shops near by that will tow it away for free / cheap? If not anyone know of any cheap towing companies that'll tow it to a scrap yard of some sort for cheap? Right now the bike is sitting sideways on a very nice lady's property and I'd like to get it out of there asap. Thanks!

    I don't know of any tow companies that are cheap. Your best bet would be to contact someone the board that does hauling and see if they'll do it, as long as its not leaking it shouldn't be a problem

    I'm not sure if he deals with wrecks, but talk to http://www.thetoyhauler.ca/ He is infernobuster on this site and people have nothing but good things to say about him. He is normally very affordable and any cycle yard should give you more than enough money to cover whatever he charges. Hope you aren't too banged up. Good luck.

    Dress for the crash, not for the ride...

    Well you are able to Post so that's a good sign. I hope you're okay otherwise. Can you roll it up a ramp? If so maybe a friend with a pickup could help you.
