What an idiot!

Only damage was to the left rear turn signal- gotta replace that. But no other scratches or damage. I'm counting myself lucky.

Experience is the best teacher-- especially if it's someone else's!

I would NEVER do anything like THAT!! Well, not with MY bike, maybe my husbands(which I did), but not MINE!!

Can you give him an Ahmen.. He can't help it..

All kidding aside, enjoy your quality time with your Pop cause you'll never get a reedo.. Life is real short and very unforgiving for those who take it for granted. I wish I could go back and ride with Pop..
