So I let my good friend drive my bike last night, and he wrecked it. Lucky to be alive. He'll be alright, he's going into surgery right now to reconstruct his knee caps and remove road-rash induced dead tissue.

Bike

DON'T RIDE STUPID!!!

 

Glad to hear that nobody died..... Is your insurance going to cover it????

 

Ouch! Glad he's ok.

And i doubt the insurance company will even know. Just my guess.

 

Dang man

Glad your buddy's alright...man that looks like it was a nice bike.

I really think this is something Steph should see.

 

That sucks man but at least you didn't lose your friend. it wasn't Spoetzel by any chance was it?

 

Nah, but it was a mutual friend of ours.

As far as insurance... I had liability only. So I guess I'm gonna part it out.

 

Damn man...that sucks. I hope your friend isn't to badly off.

Your right...don't ride stupid.

 

Holy F* that sucks!!!!

You are taking this well...better than I would be for sure.

 

what?

you said you're buying a gokart chassis?


what?

you said you're putting that sportbike motor in the gokart chassis?

 

Actually that was the plan, until I looked at the motor the next day and saw a big hole in it.

 

How exactly did he crash. High side? low-side? Hit something?

Id really like to know what he was doing and how he managed to total it and need knee replacements

 

He hit the brakes thru a puddle of water, locked up the front wheel and fell over. Bike kept going and hit a curb... Hard.

Gimme a call if you're on my side of town, you can come check it out.

 

How long has he been riding? Did he even have a class M? Sounds like a very inexperienced rider to me.

I NEVER let buddies borrow my bikes specifically for this reason... 1st time I ever let someone ride one of my motorcycles, it came back needing a new faring.

 

wheres the hole at?

i know a guy in dallas who owns a small vintage bike/scooter shop.

if he cant fix it, he and point you to someone who can... in the vintage bike world, you cant always buy another cover, so you have to be able to repair castings...
