If you ride with squids,you're gonna smell like fish!!! I learned this the hard way last night,My friend and I were out cruzin and we went to go pick up another buddy of ours who just started riding a week ago.Just as we are about to get onto Addison 2 blocks from his house he rear ends me.He's on a Ducati monster 600,not a scratch on his but his handlebar hit the rear bustin up the back plastic and his front tire hit AND bent my rearset,so I couldnt shift from 1st.He apologized and is gonna pay,but I took it to Champion and what I thought was gonna be a rearset replacement and the back plastic the guy told me the subframe might be bent,if so,how much is that????God,I just don't trust those guys!!!
Bottom line DON'T RIDE WITH SQUIDS!!!!!!:boom

if he's on a monster 600, he sounds like a newbie to me, not a squid. if he was a squid he would have been on a liter bike.

sorry to hear about your misfortune, though
:iamwithst He doesnt sound like a squid to me. Unless he was doing a wheelie right before he decided you were stopping. Im not even sure a Duc 600 can even do a wheelie. Hes a noob.
I found out after the fact that he had been drinkin before he left work,THAT makes him a SQUID!!!!!
drinking and riding makes him alot worse than a squid!
That sucks. Get everything fixed but the sub frame, ride it around then decide if it needs fixin.
Sorry to hear that. If he was drinking then:2bitchsla , if not sounds like a noob mistake. At least he is being cool about it, and paying for his mistake.

'Tis a shame :2bitchsla
:iamwithst Find out what a "SQUID" is before you post. That guy was not a squid; he was a f'in idiot.
That's unfortunate, but accidents happen. As long as he pays up I wouldn't sweat it. I would buy the parts online and fix it myself. Be grateful your 02 comes with a removable subframe. Previous R1 subframes were welded to the frame.

I would have used the word 'criminal'.
****ing idiot is more like it...

sorry to hear that man, you can probably get a subframe off of ebay for dirt cheap though, good luck
You should have bashed his face in your helmet you big wussy.....















j/k we all start somewhere, but your friend should have given you the low down..... Always try and ride behind new riders....:thumbup

m600s can wheelie, by the way. Well, the m620 can, anyway
Who cares how much the subbie is, fcuk me HE'S paying for it...
Freakin newbies suck a big fat #&@% sometimes....I guess we all had to learn though...it just sucks when shiot like that happens
Atleast he's going to pay for it. How fast was he going on impact? HE must have been going pretty good to damage described.
Well... if he just started riding a week ago then it was an obvious newbie mistake.
He just learned an expensive lesson about the power and acceleration of motorcycles.:yesnod
