Funny thing(not really), a very close friend did the same to my 08 when it was only a few weeks old. Yeah, there was a few drinks involved. I came outside to find him pinned under the bike, and up against the truck. I wish I had taken a picture.... Anyway, he offered to pay for everything( no real damage), I declined, and laughed(drinks). He showed up when I was getting the bike tuned, and paid for the whole thing. First time I've discussed this with anyone.

I have a few friends that don't ride. Some get it, and some don't.

How banged up is the bike? Is his ego more bruised? How close of a fronds is he?

Rule #1: NEVER sit on anyone else's bike without permission...PERIOD!

Rule #2: Make sure your friends & family understand Rule #1.

Rule #3: Make sure YOU are present (at least the first time) IF anyone gets your permission to sit on your bike.

JMHO!

OP: Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope your friend makes it right with you!

 

All people are different & not all friends are "true friends". His reaction is what tells the story...if he's a true stand up dude he will pay for all the damages out of his pocket. If he doesn't offer to do this, friendship over.

Be interesting to see the outcome of this and what your friend does (if anything) to make it right.

 

The general consensus here is you break it you buy it. The bike deserves to be the same as before the "event". Dang, that sucks!

 

Send your buddy a bill. If he is really a good friend, he will assume responsibility for his mistake and pay for the repairs, if not, there is always Judge Judy, lol.

 

The the F*&K is up with people thinking that can randomly sit on someone's bike?????????

.......I mean you wouldn't open someone door and sit in their car randomly or walk inside a strangers home. I hear this kinda thing all the time with people sitting on someones bike and 90% of the time it doesn't end well.

I would demand him paying for all damages w/o a doubt!

 

Had a buddy of mine do the exact same thing. Only when he knocked my dyna over it fell into my bagger! The dyna tank hit the crash bar on the baggers bags and put a huge dent in the tank. The clutch lever also gouged the top of the bag pretty good. Took everything I had to not choke the life out of him, but he wrote me a check for the price of a new color matched tank and I mysteriously ended up with a new paint job on the bike. I thought it was a pretty good trade off since I didn't make him fix the bagger but to say the least he's not allowed within 10 feet of my bikes anymore. Hopefully your buddy will do the right thing and pay for the damages along with a case of beer
