you guessed it he crashed it. here is the story
My older brother was going to work yesterday and took the windy roads on his 94 camry. he wasn't paying attention and lost control on one of the turns and off he went onto a small ditch. the car was not drivable so i had to go pick it up last night with my truck. on the way back he ask for a ride to work 80 miles away, or ask if he could use the bike. i said go ahead and use the bike. and had about 20 minute talk with him about what to expect from the FZ6, and what to expect from wearing winter riding gear "heated".
at about 6 in the morning he decided to take the windy roads again, came to a S type turn that sharpened real quick in the middle. by the way he didnt make it very far in the twisty's this happened in the first 4 actual turns. he got scared and was going about 45mph when he notice the turn was going to sharped so he slammed on both breaks. he kinda fish tail a little and hit the guard rail kinda side ways. because he dint know how to lean i guess. the bike never really hit the ground until he had already stopped. just swiped guard rail and continued for a few feet.
He came out ok just minor cuts to his leg because he was pined between the guard rail and the bike. Thank god i gave him all my gear! as for the bike she is ok minor body damage to the front but everything else is good i am not even going to file a claim. but last time i lend him a car or bike that's for sure
Reasons i lent the bike.
1. Brother
2. need it a way to get to work
3 had rode bikes before, he rode an old CBR with no plastics and then got a 2007 R6 that he put about 12k miles into before it got stolen.
4. had lent him my FZ6 once before around town.
Reasons he crashed Theory
1. had about 3 years since he rode a bike, exception for the one time i lent him the FZ6 a few months ago.
2. going to fast around the corner.
3. little to no twisty experience
4. plain stupid
