Well he called me up today to let me know the other night while he was out with his buddy (the one who has the Kat750 and wants the 1000RR with only 2 months of riding) they were at this club and he said his buddy was getting bored so he drank more and more--they hopped on the bikes (my friend tells me he hasn't been drinking--yeah ok) and riding home--his friend loses it and crashes in a ditch because he is....drunk!!
HELLO!!!?? Of course I ask if his friend is alright..which he somewhat is...has a bad leg--broken I suppose. So I tell my friend I am glad he faired pretty good BUT I don't have much sympathy for someone who drinks and rides. He told me that his friend has rethought the decision to get the 1000RR (good!) and I ask my friend "so when are you getting the Kawi?" He says, "uh...I just decided I don't want to spend the $$ right now for a new bike."
So so far so good....for now!! But I have a feeling when his "buddy" heals and wants the newer bike, my friend will follow...but for now at least he can still learn on his Kat600!!!
