Touche for your comment on BSM's thread!!
The only the Blue thing about this bike is all the ''BLUE'' language emitting from yours truly at various stages of the works. You know the score, sized nuts n bolts, forgetting to put bits on then having to undo everything to put them on, various hammer v's thumb incidents, dropping things on the floor & spending half an hour to find them, letting your tea go cold, all the where did I put that moments, ect ect.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Life and death of ol' red reminds me of a very short existential play by Samuel Beckett (of Waiting for Godot fame), called Birth astride a grave: Samuel Beckett’s ‘Act without words 1’ expect o'l red had much more fun chugging you around between manufacture and final. RIP o'l red Does o'l red have a donor card?
That's three red ones I know of that have gone down the road, playerone, Marmite and yours Mac . If I ever get another storm. It won't be a red one

deffo check the forks out?
i wouldn't say old red is dead just yet, as tony said, we can rebuild it, you've got to ask yourself, do you want to rebuild it. or is it time for a change. a nice red harley perhaps...
The forks look bent to me in the last pic. Look at the angles between the two especially the right hand stanchion. Get all the parts off you want to keep Mac before the insurance get their hands on it.
Ole Red, wasn't that the title of a Western as well.
Mac, why dont you sell it to Marty, then he can start a Third Bike thread
I recon it is repairable, then sell it on if your not 100% with it and get one you know is well sorted
Someone will buy it as a track day bike and have a lot of fun with it if you do sell it on
