That wasn't the point. dougmc appears to think that the man-handing done to the bike in the video didn't happen.

If you mean parting-out the bike by "salvage" then there would be some value to doing that (probably not too much to somebody looking for their "next hit" since you'd have to be organized and patient to realize significant value from doing that). "Scrap value" would be next to nothing (ie, it would not worth the effort).
