i will bring my big pole (usually for dancing round) to get her straight

the trouble is though alloy tends to crack instead of bending back into shape we will have a look in the morning

Sad to see it like that, sometimes it looks worse than it is. Ive had the subframe sucessfully straightened on my bike after pallets of kindling fell on it..( dont laugh.. would I make up a story like that... damn stuff flattened the bike, bent sub, broke plastic, stuffed levers, dented fuel tank had to repaint whole bike...teal of course, fixed for around $1000, and I thought I got off fairly cheap) so mightnt be bad as Ben said

good luck

The bike seems to have came out of that fight better than you marty,
most of it looks fixable,
plenty of storm spares about,
just look how many parts for sale on ebay.
Im sure she can be rebuilt

oh well think of the fun you'll have rebuilding her
