What are the chances someone would actually need a fjr frame? I've sat on this one from the totaled bike since october, not one hint of there being a need. Since michigan issued a scrap titl, I'm thinking the chances of selling it are slim to none. I found a metal recycler nearby that will pay by the pound.

Thoughts?

Maybe plant tomatoes in it. Or make it into a birdbath for the front yard. Yeah, the wife would just loovvve that . WTF man? Have you no creative juices at all?

I thought about making it the base to a coffie table, just won't have a man cave to put it in until my oldest moves out...

I got $27 for my old frame at scrap

Wall Art or a table would be perfect....no way I would scrap it for $27

I'm with clocklaw, if you have room to store it then hang on to it. A coffee table with an FJR frame supporting it would be so cool, definitely motorcycle high fashion!

Perhaps stand it vertical on a base and use it as a coat rack in the entry hallway? I understand you Michigan folks have items called winter coats, never used one myself.

Find a custom mc builder who wants to turn it into functional art...fjr bobber??!

Ok, so this made me instantly concerned that I gave you some bad advice.

definitely makes you stop and rethink it, doesn't it.

I see the points about hanging on to it, but I've got a garage full of crap like that. If I had a man cave right now, I'd order a piece of glass and make a table. I need to make room in the garage - starting to turn interest back towards the CB360 with my son, and I've got the DRz400 SM taken apart right now as well.

Here's the other issue. We're prepping for my daughter's open house in a couple of weeks. I did not tell my parents or family about wrecking another bike. They (Mom & Dad) just don't need the extra stress or worry. I can play off the boxes - it's just "stuff". But a stripped motorcycle frame will raise eye brows. I could hide it, but the better answer is to just get rid of it.

I thought about making it a planter in the back yard, but again, trying not to advertise...

No doubt...so do you have an estimate of what shipping would cost??? How much would you have to have for it? Or....would you be willing to drop it off in Brighton?? I can have it brought down here on the next trip that one of the crews makes the trip if I could get it to that office (basically free shipping if I am willing to wait).
