[ST] Motorycle salvage yards??

Recently a lister described totalling out his ST. I'm 
wondering what happens to those bikes, and their usable 
parts, after the insurance company takes them away. Seems 
like someone somewhere would parting them out and selling 
them off. Anybody know where old wrecked Triumphs go?
Cheers,
Robbie
I promise this will be my last post today.
