Kid has road rash and stitches.
Bike has: busted off headlight (already a custom replacement), busted off braided stainless brake hose, bent apehangers, torn off right custom rear turn signal, dented gastank, stuck throttle, inoperative left turn signals. Forks, frame, swingarm, wheels and motor are apparently intact.
I'm picking both up tomorrow, bringing home for a proper assessment. Skin will heal, the bike can be rebuilt.
He got off darned lucky. The bike pitched him off as it went out from under him. Right in front of a Kojak. He didn't get a ticket, was just told to get the bike out of the road. Which was wet from the first rain in almost 2 months. And his front brake blew up last week, so he had rear drum only, which was apparrently mis-adjusted. At least he didn't hit anyone else. He has a permit and no insurance (not required in WA state).
I'll update later today (Monday). It is 2:10 AM local. -Jeff
