I dont know the details whether or not the friendship remains, but he can't even afford to hand the owner his deductible. Sucks for my buddy to have to learn such a hard lesson. That bike was tits and now it's likely totalled. We believe he went into a corner too hot. I know if a friend of mine dumped my bike, walked away unscathed, and couldn't hand me the deductible....we'd still be friends....but his jaw would be wired shut for a while.
