How many of you learned the hard way about letting someone else ride your bike?
My story. Shirley, my F2, had a new replica Erion Racing paint job (the old style) when I let a buddy ride in a parking lot. He managed to low side it in 3rd gear, front wheel first, into a curb and then it highsided onto the grass just beyond. Basically totalled the bike. Both sides of bodywork and engine casing, frame tweaked, front forks SPLIT (both of them), tank dented, etc. Now she sits in my basement waiting for the Dr Frankenstein to have the funds.
