On another thread Hub said....If you let your friends ride your bike it'l be a short ride.
So true................... which leads to the question...
Do you guys ever let friends ride your 14?
Me? I would never let someone else ride mine! As we all know, not just anyone can ride one. A twist of the wrist could throw an unsuspecting rider right off the back.
I learned that lesson many years ago. My first bike was a Norton 750 Commander. Not exactly a beginers bike, but I was a semi-pro surfer at the time and took to it very quickly. I guess I made it look easy. One day, my buddy wanted to ride it and I let him. Of course he crashed it. He was fixated on the concrete wall beside the curve and just went wide right into it. That was the first and last time.
A few years later I traded it for a Porsche. It had body rot and plywood floors, but it was a kick to bomb around in. I saw the guy I traded with a couple weeks later...in a wheelchair with a broken leg, broken arm, bandages on his head and what appeared to be a body cast. I cried thinking about what the Norton must have looked like. I enjoyed the Porsche for a year or so until my wife crashed it.
