So for the last 2 weeks I was out of country, and I had my nephew watch my house for me "he is out of school for the summer, and I thought it would be a good experience for him", and I told him not to touch my 1150gs or 1125r. Well I just got back yesterday, and when I see my bike, the left pod had been rattle canned flat black. The little •••••••• rode my 1125r, and dropped it. He said it fell off the stand, but the marks were from a 10-15 mph low side, and he tried to hide it. So I called my sister, and guess who is going to be working to pay me back for the damage all summer. :P I remeber doing stupid shit when I was 16, and I kind of miss it  | ||

Did you leave any loaded guns there for him to play with? | ||

Ha, I realize it was stupid of me, but it gave him a good learning experience, and that matters more to me than a motorcycle. | ||

You have more bad luck with bikes than anyone I have ever heard of. | ||
| Mrsuperbuckets |
I know....... Well just think of it like this, i take everyone elses bad luck so you guys dont have problems  | ||

The loaded guns comment made me lol pretty hard. Personally I would've put him on the back of it and shown him what a real rider could do with that bike. Teach him how to properly use the weapon of mass busa destruction. All of this after he worked off the astronomical price of new plastics. | ||

Seems to me hiding the key would have been a smart thing to do. An spray painting it black? Are you kiddin me? I hope you jumped his shit for not manning up and telling you. To me, that's the worst part about the incident. | ||

Im the fun uncle, and my sister is scary as shit, so instead of chewing him out, i said "if you had just told me i would have forgiven it, and not told your mother, but since you tried to hide it, guess who is about to get a call" and he nearly shit himself. My sister is 4:11, and she cares me. So imagine how he felt. | ||

Does he actually know how to ride? Just curious if this was a "hey guys, hold my beer" moment. | ||
| Mrsuperbuckets |
He rides a 2004 ninja 250, that me and him rebuilt 2 years ago, and he still rides it. He finally admitted that he went down while trying to perform a u-turn, and he accidentally stalled at 10 mph. I can see how someone coming from a 250 would stall a big v-twin, I am just glad he didn't go out and crash at 140mph. | ||

+1 on being blessed with a low speed mistake. The bigger the engine, the more violent the stall. 250s are learner bikes for a lot of reasons. One of them being that they are more forgiving, especially on mistakes such as clutch control. The 1125 wasn't built for any kind of low speed maneuvering, so it doesn't surprise me that it stalled and he dropped it on a 10mph u turn. I probably would have too at that age. Hell the 1125 is so UNFORGIVING on such maneuvers that I still on rare occasion catch myself having to drop a foot and save a low speed u turn. Chalk it up as a learning experience. Hopefully he realizes that fairing rash could have easily been him. (Message edited by brokenGQ on June 16, 2015) | ||

Yep, it was a good learning experience! |
