My baby is dead

[FastBusa]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have a long time firend that I work with. He rides a fatboy. and for months hen has been driving me nuts about ridding my busa. I kept putting him off until I just had to tell him that he would kill himself within the first minute and his wife would not pay for the bike after his death. So no way no how! Main reason he kept telling me "how much more power his fatboy puts out" That told me it would be a quick death!

Sorry for your loss! My brother in law always bugs me to ride my bike... I say fug no everytime... Everyone in my family always laughs when the topic pops up...

...one thing to reck it yourself but to have someone else do it for ya... dayum...

 

[Sloto200]

sorry to hear about your bike...it can be replaced....since nobody else has asked...how is your friend? Hope he/she is still ok!

 

[TIMMYDUCK]

Sorry for your loss,
In regards to people riding my bike,I always reply
Do you have a license to ride a motorcycle ?
Usually that gets about half of them out.
And for the rest that say yes they do, I go no a license to " Thrill "
And that takes care of the rest.

i always say you can ride my lady if i can ride yours that usually ends the conversation

I knew that line would eventually come up.

if you have insurance on the bike, do not keep it. if you want buy it back from the insurance company and part her out on ebay.
good luck. i lost my car because i let my friend use it. so i know how you feel.

Sorry to hear about it. Hope you can find a new one soon.

 

[WarBaby]

That's a brutal blow. Has you "friend" offered to make it right? Regardless, try to have a Merry Xmas anyway.

 

[DAB]

but with still making payments it is just not worth keeping her.

You should insist that your "friend" make the rest of the payments, as he now "owns" the bike (you break it, you buy it.)

Sorry about the loss of your Busa. I got lucky i guess-- I let two of my friends ride mine---
Both are over 50 years young as i am to. They did not have the you know whats to open her up.

 

[Devil Dog]

Dayuuum. Thats the Bikers Golden Rule. "Don't ask to ride mine....cause I don't wanna ride yours"

 

[onerabidshark]

If your friend even has liability insurance it will cover your bike.

 

[blueghost]

Sad to hear about the bike, hope your friend is OK.

 

[Guest]

what broke that theres 16k in damage? that seems a little extensive for just laying it down

 

[FloydV]

Bad luck friend. If the guy had injured himself he might be trying to sue YOU for letting him ride a too dangerous bike! Why do these things always happen at times like Christmas? Sigh...

 

[bronc3]

Too far gone to piece back together yourself? It can often be done for a fraction of the shop estimate.

I'm just the opposite, i'm not that strict with my Busa. If a friend of mine want's to try my bike out and i deem them ok, then i'm fine with it. Of course, i explain my Busa's traits and what to expect from it and what i expect in the event of an accident.
There's only a few people that have ridden my bike.
BUT, once i do the paint and the Bus starts getting alittle more customized, then i'll be alot more strict.
