Here's the story kids....this guy I know never has rode a bike before so he goes about 1.5 months ago to get a used Katana 600. No problem except that he rides like shiznet (I know because I have rode with him a few times and he has almost caused a few accidents with me and some others--very erratic)! 2 weeks ago he broke his toe--that's right--his toe--letting his feet drag in a parking lot. :alky
He has asked my advice about getting another bike which I told him to keep the Kat for about a year and then move up. He agrees BUT has been looking at bikes anyway.....he says he wants my R6...I tell him it's too much bike for him and you need to learn better riding skills.
So just spoke with him and guess what????
He's getting a new bike next week and I ask what kind and he tells me a ZX-10 and proceeds to tell me that
"oh, it's not like I can wheelie it or anything, it's much harder to do that on that bike" (mind you--he barely has a clue about bikes and all their parts).
I laugh and say, "what? it's a liter bike what are you talking about?"
He says,"oh yeah I know it can haul ass...but it's not like one of those Gixters" LOL
Then he tells me his friend who just bought a Kat 750 is going to sell his and get a 1000RR :alky Again, another guy who has no idea how to ride well...
His friend is recently divorced and the guy I know is getting his divorce finalized 7/26/04. :lol
I'm done! I tried to persuade him to lay off buying a more powerful bike and learn better riding skills and he used to be a paramedic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried but it really all boils down to an overblown ego that is waaaaaaay to big for me to try and squash!!
I guarantee he gets that ZX-10 and in the 1st week something happens. I would put all my $$ on it! I really hope I am wrong but..... :dunno
BTW--wears no gear except a helmet....
