but thats the end of the good news....
now the bad...
bike is crashed....
went and titled it...got insurance on it yesterday (friday)...got done titling it and was going to meet up with 1meanRR and stopped by shop to show my dad...well lil bro was there with his bike...so let him take it for a ride...1st thing i tell him...NO STUPID SHIT!!!...both of us wearing all gear...except he had no gloves ( i was wearing his)...he jumped on it, got the front off the ground....came down no problem...got to a stop sign...he then turned left...went straight and popped it up again...WELL...the rear must broke loose on him while in the air or hit a bad grove in the road...next thing i know im watching the back of the bike wobble left to right...then he brings the front down and it headshakes like nuts and BOOM.....down it goes...slides on the left side most of the time...left engine cover, left handle bar took brunt of the bike damage...some scratching on the left side of bike and whatnot...no destoyed plastics...
but my lil bro on otherhand...stuck hands out...and rashed them all up...got 4 stiches in right hand...ripped left ring finger fingernail almost completely off...but the hands are the the most damage...took some rash to the belly and the knees...but thats it...he is ok...he is more worried about my bike and before the bike had even come to a stop he is yelling...IM SO SORRY....hey...its what insurance is for...ya know...as long as he has avoided serious injusry..thats all the matters...his nail wont stop bleeding so its soaking through the gauze...but he should be just fine..only has use of 4 finger right now...both thumbs and both index fingers...its gonna be a pain for him for the next week...so after the hospital E.R....we go back to my parents shop...had 1meanRR meet up with me and unloaded the bike from the truck (which my dad helped me put in) and then i rode his bike to his house...and im getting home now....
gonna have to take it to dupage honda and see about the extent of damage...it was still sliding when he was stopped...the left engine cover actually had a hole in it and all the oil dumped out...so im assuming the bike had shut itsself off (hopefully it had a shock sensor and cut off) cause when i got to bike..it was not running....the plastics are just fine and the insurance company would nail the bike hard for that...but ZERO frame/subframe damage...it does not look really that bad...but i need to take to shop and get a good going over...
new rule for me...NO ONE EVER AGAIN RIDES MY SHIT....i dont care if they are a professional bike rider in the ama...never again...
