He's okay though, he put it down on the back of a sedan after the cager decided to U-turn right in front of his bike at 30 mph. Nowhere to go I guess; I wasn't there.
His Duke isn't looking so hot though; scratched fairings, dented tank, broken headlight, fairing and windshield. The front fork is out of alignment too. He wasn't wearing gear and got a few abrasions and surface cuts on his arms, knees and legs. I think he regrets not wearing his gear, but isn't too vocal about it. The insurance company is calling it a total and he's getting enough to cover the lein on the machine. He says his credit is shaky and that he won't be able to even finance another machine, so he needs to save until for a ride next year.
He was the only one I was riding w/ on the weekends and the occasional weekday night. If anyone's up for riding on the North Shore on the weekends (esp. mornings!) let me know!
