Could have been worse
This 17 year old chick pulls out of a neighborhood as I am kickin it and we colided. Luckily I didn't crash, but there was damage. My right side frame slider went in her left fender well and ripped off along with the clutch case, rear set, and some of the engine block. I am now back on my feet after 2 months and wanting to know if this is worth fixing and how much it might cost. I am about to post some pictures of my 06 636, poor bike. Any suggestions much appreciated. The left side looks brand new but the right side is not so good. I'm just glad I didn't lay it down at 60 +.

Ummmmm welcome to the forums? How about an introduction in the new members area? 
Sorry to hear about your incident there. So the left side is messed up? Hmmm shoot you could park it on the left side of a one way street and leave the good side out....

Bummer man, could of been worse. Glad your in one piece. Hopefully the insurance will pick up the tab. Then spend the money on e-bay on good and cheap used parts.

Glad you're okay Yes it could have been worse. Since you damaged the engine case, you'll need another case at the least and maybe an engine all together. As long as the crankshaft didn't get hit but if it ripped the cover off, it may have. Where are you located? I have a friend who may have an engine or cases. I have a crashed 06 in a very similar condition but with a bent frame. Same RH side engine case damage.
