Rubber Side Down
 

So a buddy of mine just finished his MSF course. He has no other prior riding experience, and never has ridden on the street before.
But he has gotten himself hooked on getting a Commerative Edition Gixxer 1000... (~14k)

I have tried to talk him into not buying a new bike, let alone a 1000, but he has persisted...

Today he called me up and told me he bought it... :skep:

For his sake I hope he stays rubber side down...

Hope he doesnt like taco bell.

:lol

Mother of fuck, what a mistake!

Well, at least he took the MSF. Best thing you can do at this point is make sure he invests in some decent gear beyond just a helmet, tank top, and sneakers...

Be sure to rub it in when he fucks up. For your sake, I hope your friend is ok. For his sake, hopefully he learns a lesson.

Yea. So yesterday he rolls up to the house with his new Gixxer, in a t shirt, shorts and chucks. He at least had a helmet.

:wtfru:
I face palmed and handed him my Icon leather jacket and draggin jeans and said to go change for the ride home or I was taking his keys. Couldnt help his chucks... but at least he got home safe.

Bike was sick, but I expect him to have an oh sh** moment real soon...

I've been looking to move to a liter gixxer this season or this off season after 5 years on a bike and still can't justify $14k for a new one lol

Keep watching this thread. There might be one available soon. :wink:


Hope your buddy doesn't become a statistic.

:lol Good point
