Latest update:
New parts are in and bike was inspected yesterday. This will be my wife’s bike, so we’ll put the parts on together. Killing me not putting them on right now. Owner went to the DMV today and sent off for a prior salvage title. As soon as he gets it all that’s left to do is signing the title over to me and giving him his $800. I won’t need another inspection, just have to license it like usual.
Total parts cost was $177.67 USD. All of it is cosmetic, but I’m pretty sure my wife would rather have it fixed. Other scratched parts might get replaced if she ends up keeping it. Most are things I’ve replaced on the 900 or 125 so I have spares. Mirror, bar-end, clutch lever, etc.

This was the only close call I had with my old GT650 (Non-ABS)
I would never ride a Non-ABS bike after this incident.. (Skip to 1:45 if you don't feel like watching the whole video)

You made out alright. The z650 is a nice lightweight bike 👍.

I was completely geared up so I was unhurt..
Even the bike was fine coz the frame sliders i had installed just 2 days before this incident took most of the brunt..
It does get really crazy here..

There was no damage to the bike except for a few scratches on the frame slider I had installed just 2 days back (thank god)
We do have insurance claims in case of an accident, but that is a lengthy process which would involve filing a complaint with the nearest police station among other things.. I was actually on my to work for an important meeting.. so didn't wanna waste my time with this A******...
The guy driving the 3 wheeled garbage collection vehicle was a govt. employed contractor..

Two things I would like to do, just because....
1- Ride a motorcycle in a big city in India.
2- Drive a car in Russia in the winter.
Both would take much mental and physical preparation. 😂
