50 in a 25mph turn? Guess he won't do that again.

This is one of those 'Good' accidents. GOOD??!! Any time the rider walks away under their own power, it is a GOOD accident. Still sux, still costs, but it could suk a whole lot worse. WE ALL KNOW THAT.
The metal got crumpled/bent/mangled, BUT THE RIDER walked away.
Really glad to hear that. IT can get UGLY real fast. This one, turned out decent.
Hopefully he has insurance to cover loss. Even if he doesn't, still a 'cheap' fix, compared to what it coulda been.

Been there done that... It's heart breaking to have your bike get demolished but if you live to tell the story and ride again that's all that matters in the long run. Glad your buddy is OK.
