I'm gonna guess the S10 in the background ran it over.

Nope I took a curve too fast and hit the guardrail. I ended up in the emergency room for 4 hours. I just brought the bike home yesterday and it won't start.....

Hope you heal up fast man. It's probably a minor issue keeping it from starting. This is a good time to discuss going into turns too fast and the best way to "save" it. I've definitely done it and barely squeaked through the turn. I hope the expert riders will give some pointers. Back to the Bike; It looks like a rim and some spokes are all you'll need to fix the ft wheel. Are the forks okay?

Thank you. The forks are unbent just a few scratches. It needs a few new wires a new clutch lever and I'm going to get new bars since these ones were involved in a crash. I ordered an Excel front rim and spokes and I'm going to attempt to lace a rim myself. I had relatively minor injuries mainly a sprained shoulder and sore ribs. Had I been wearing protective gear (I was wearing 2 T-shirts and pair of jeans) I probably would have been uninjured.
