Roommate wrecked my bike!
Around 6pm I let my roommate take my bike to ride with some friends. His bikes been down for a couple months due to bad mechanic work so I felt bad. At 9:30pm he calls me from the ER saying he did a wheelie in front of a trooper, ran, and crashed. So he's in the ER getting ready to go to jail and my bike has been impounded. Luckily I know the trooper and he said since I wasnt riding it I didnt deserve to have it seized. So now I have to wait til Monday to go get it and see how bad it is. All I was told is the tailsection got ripped off and the exhaust is trashed. Thats all my roommate could see from in the cop car. I hope its not too bad, he went down in the grass so it may have caught on something and flipped but I dont know.
I think I can safely say it will need new handle bars and new headlights along with the tail and pipe. So that pretty much means its cosmeticly fucked since it is naked. I just hope the frame, forks, and motor are good. Brandon said he'd think about buying it for a track bike and if that stuffs good then I hope he'll pick it up. I'm pretty pissed about this and Im glad he was ok. He dislocated his shoulder, other than that he's fine.
Sorry but I just had to vent!!

Not many people out there riding would know what to do with a 500hp Busa.
Sorry about your bike.
I've never been weird about letting people I trust ride my bikes.
However, I've paid the price as well.
Hope your buddy heals and smarts up.
Rule #1:
If you break it, you buy it.

this should be "the golden rule" when it comes to riding other peoples bikes.
