well I'm back from Iraq and I go to get my bike from my buddy and apparently he didn't take as good of care if it as he said he would. First off he dropped it it gravel bending the frame slider bolt and partially stripping the bolt hole out. Also this caused some rash on the front and side cowl, and broke my brand new windscreen. On top of that he ran it out of gas and didn't know how to reset the trip sensor, and instead of putting it back in his shop it got rained on for 2-3 weeks! Needless to say I'm ready to kill him I'll post up pictutes tomorrow, before and after.

 

WOW, first off...I have served in the army for the last seven years so thank you! I just ETSed on the 25th of June.

Second, that is ****, was he supposed to be riding it?

 

dude that sucks so bad man... id make him pay for the damage... that's not cool at all man,

 

Paying for the damage is in my mind a definite then an *** kicking is also a definite.

 

not that there is an excuse for this type of behavior but im curious to hear what he had to say for himself

 

Even if you allowed him to ride it a little to test performance mods ONLY and he dropped it. He needs to pay the piper for sure.

If someone did that to me I dont think I would of even said anything. Just a swift kick to the face.

 

That's ****ed up... You're serving our country and he can't do something simple for you without destroying it..

 

Definitely make him pay for all the damage, and soon. I've had friends damage my stuff plenty of times. Unless you make them take care of it right away, they "forget". But you never do, so it just eats at you pissing you off more.

 

I understand that **** happens but its how he handled the situation that makes the difference. Did he own up to messing up and agree to fix it or is he running from it? If he is running from it, try to get what you can out of him and go your separate ways. Thanks for serving our country and fighting for our freedom. Hope it all turns out okay.
