One broken leg, 2 totalled bikes, 2 more damaged
So my Dad comes to San Diego for a great weekend of riding... I got me, my brother, dad, and 3 friends together for a ride. We go to the meeting place to await another part of the group and the ONE guy with us that had a damned crotch rocket thinks it would be a good idea to ride a wheelie behind us in the parking lot. He lost control, flipped his bike and as it was flying through the air, I watched it hit my brothers '01 Sportster in the rear, smashing his bike and breaking his leg. The **** bike was toatlled too. The resulting collision flew into my Dad's '06 Wide Glide and my '07 Fat Boy causing another probably 6-7 grand of damage and knocking Dad off the bike. I was luckily off the bike for all of 5 seconds and still had the helmet on. [:@]
Helmet Propaganda: Kevin's helmet is all beat up from the flip he took but his head is OK. I think his leg broke from the 8 foot fall or the bumper bikes at the end.
Maybe some solicited advice here... The guy that hit us is a friend of mine. How would you all deal with this?
My advice to the group... No matter who disses you for discriminating to other riders, screw the sport bike riders. How many do you know that have laid one down? They just go completely nutty on those things and that hurt us. None of the cruisers I know pop wheelies and with two wheels on the ground, you have a chance to miss the other guy.
Prayers for my bro please... He isn't even sure if he is going to ride again. This really scared him. He's busted up pretty bad

How would I deal with him?
After my attorney insured that he and his insurance company paid for all of the damages, all of the medical bills, reimbursed everybody for lost wages.............
I wouldn't speak to him for a very long time.

Guess it depends on how well you know him. People do stupid stuff in groups.
If he's a good friend, I'd get as much as I could covered without ruining his life and make him buy the beers for a long time.

Whenever we are riding in a group, we always put the idiots and the speed demons in front. If they screw up, you always have time to react.

How to deal with him.
First kick him in the ***** this should have been done at the crash site.
Then make him pay for everything.
Then kick him in the ***** again
