yeah, no worries with me being on the road any time soon. My dipshit buddy decided he wanted to test out the 1000cc bike. He rides an 04 r6. I figured, hey, why not. He's been riding for a couple of years. Never laid his bike down. Been on several other bikes. No biggie, right. Wrong. He circles the parking lot a few times, getting used to the bike a little bit, gets out on the road. back and forth a few times. I guess he thought it would be cool to show me what the underside of my bike looks like going down the road, so he popped the front wheel up. It was all well and good except for the fact that he set it back down right onto a manhole cover. Caused the bike to wobble. by the time he was able to settle it down, he hit the curb, threw him off the bike and fucked mine up. broke every spoke on the wheel. Bent both rotors. Busted the right side caliper. The fork is bent apart. The handlebars don't point straight, so i'm assuming those are bent. Cracked the case, its leaking oil out everywhere. not exactly sure how it happened, but the bike slid on both sides, so all of the plastics are fucked up. the windscreen is busted. and I'm sure there is more wrong with the bike than just that. That's just what you can see looking at it. He's ok. Just some road rash on his Forearms. Dragging on the ground ate through his left glove completely. His right glove is stuffed up. He had a really light weight textile jacket on (like the long sleeve stuff people wear on a dirt bike, so it wasn't too much protection) that was shredded.
We're working with his insurance company to put it through as a claim and see if I can get something out of it.
