This was what my bike looked like in January 1999.  You would think it is a really sad site, but it's not that bad. Take a look at the next pics and you will see thats not so bad and there are things that are much worse.

This what it looks like today, and the insurance company paid for all the
repairs no problem, but like I said there are worse  things.  Scroll on down.

I had Jim's Harley Davidson put the bike back together.  It has had a minor
but persistant primary case leak ever since.  No big deal you might think,
just replace the gasket.  Well I did.  Twice.  Still leaked.  So I wiped all
the fluid off one day and threw dry dust all over the bottom of the bike.
Found that the leak was coming from the back side of the inner primary.
Still no big deal.  I figured loose inner primary bolt or bad o-ring.  No
such luck.  This is what I found, and its probably been that way since Jim's
gave it a clean bill of health last year.  Shit, SHIT, SHIT, F'in Shit!
The engine case is cracked.  Not much chance of getting the insurance
company to pay for it now, over a year later and supposedly completely
checked out by a qualified Harley Shop.
