i got my bike from a friend that hurt his back at work and wont ever be able to ride again. it's an 03 and had maybe 6 hours on it two of which were from me riding it one day. the only thing that was wrong with it was a nice white crease on the right rear fender from when i wrecked that day. it had sat for a about a year and he asked me if i knew if any one wanted to by it for $5000. i said that i would be more than happy to take it off of his hands for that price and went and got it with in the next 20 mins or so. i am in the navy and we are leaving on a detachment to fallon Nv the next day. me and a few friends take off to sand moutain on our first day off and ride like mad men all day, no problems what so ever. on our next day off exactly one week after i got my bike we are back at sand moutain. we unload and i take off for about 20 min and come back and let my buddy ride because i let him ride abunch a few days ago and he showed that he knew what he was doing. so he is rippin around having a good old time and start to head back to the truck. he was in like 4th gear about 50 yards from me and headed right for this pretty narly berm. at this point i am thinkin turn left, turn left and start to wave him left because he obviously dosen't see it, but he keeps coming. the front tires hit and pop him up a bit then the back slams and he sling shots about 15 feet in the air off the bike stiff as a board. mean while the bike is about the same hight kart wheeling end over end behind him. i take off running over to him as soon as he hits the ground. the bike lands on its back tires and flops down on all four and rolls right over the top of him then stops. i was at him before the bike stoped and saw blood all over his face. i ask him if he was ok and he yells no look at my fuckin arm. there was a big bulg between his left elbow and shoulder. i help him up and over to his girl friends car and make sure that he's not in too bad of shape. when i know that he'll be alright i walk back over to my bike and am instatly pissed. the first thing that i see is the front bumper is completely demolished, next the handle bars are bent in opposite directions and right side to the rear and left side to the front and the key is bent at a 90' angle. then around to the back i go. the sub frame is bent down satrting at about a foot from the back on the right side it's down about 4 inches on the left about 2 1/2. the right and left silencers are bent down the same as the frame. i head back to the car and say man i hop ethat you are allright but what in the f*ck were you thinkin. i didn't see it until it was to late and i'm soo sorry are all he can say. him and his girl take off for the ER and i proced to work on my battered bike to make it rideable again. two hours later i am back on the dunes and riding out my anger. when i get done rinding several hours later and start heading back and i give him a call to find out how bad it is. he broke his left humorous and bit through his tounge in two spots. man was he lucky that he was injured because i would have beat his ass. he agreed to pay 1300 and some change for the parts he bent or broke. but we will see i may have to beat him after all.

i have been riding it but i really don't like riding and ugly bike. but better and ugly one than not one at all. it looks like a sad puppy with droopy ears.

Yes, i was once burdened with an ugly 'shee. The '94 Purple and Yellow . Lucky for me it is now red and black wich i like much much more

i still wander what they were thinking when they came out with that horrid color scheme.

Well, now you know why to wear a helmet and not let ANYBODY else ride your bike. Hope you get it all back together.

Yeah, letting other people drive your stuff is a hard lesson to learn. I have invested so much time and money into my shee I could never let someone else drive it because if they fucked it up I don't know what I'd do.
