Never Loan Your Bike
« on: March 02, 2007, 11:23:16 AM »

A guy that works with me just got alot of work done on his Harley Ultra Classic.

True Flame paint job, engine work, new pipes, looks good.  (well, for what it is, it looks good)

Looked Good.


His friend, neighbor, who had borrowed his bike before, took his wife for a ride last night.  Less than a mile from home on a windy road, and lost control.

She had a compound fracture in her leg that was bad enough to give her a puncture wound in her other leg.

He broke his back in 2 place and one of his legs.

Bad luck.

I don't think even OUCH describes this one. I hate to hear anybody getting messed up like that. That will be a long down time recovery for sure  :( Sorry for'em

That's only one reason I don't let anyone ride my bike...unless I'm riding theirs at the same time. O0

Sorry to hear they got so messed up.
