That sucks *****, lost a friend over something similar years ago. He talked a good game about making it right but ......
Up side is it's repairable and if you do your homework. ebay, craigslist and local shops used and pull off piles you'll get back in shape fairly reasonable. Don't listen to the doom & gloomers about it being totaled it's far from from that if your doing it yourself. I'm not seeing frame or drivetrain damage and no oil leaking so most ***** cosmetic and just R&R stuff.

I don't know your insurance company's rules, but I can share mine:
My insurance policy is for me. The rates are dependent on the bike, of course.
That means if I let somebody operate my vehicle with my permission, I'm covered. Period.
Did you ask your insurance company, or are you just assuming?

This whole situation really sucks....BUT it could have been a lot worse, as told by some previous postings. Based on all the information so far, it sounds like you're gonna just have to suck it up and fix the bike, hopefully with some help (both financially and physically) from your friend, assuming he'll heal up in a reasonable amount of time. It's a tough way to learn this lesson, but I'm sure you'll never let anyone else ride your bike. Good luck with the rebuild.

Sorry for your misfortune manchez. On the good side, you should be able shop for some good prices on eBay to get it back together. Hopefully you can still make it happen by Spring time as well.
FYI to all others, I carry Triple A insurance. Their standard policy covers any licensed driver with MC endorsement to ride or drive any vehicles on my policy. Whether or not we "intend" to let somebody else ride our bikes, it's still a huge plus to have that option.
