At first I thought, squid, but after reading it I'm more oh well whatever...Jeez some of the people on there going on about squids like him causing higher insurance, he's already stated he's not claiming insurance, how can this accident force insurance up? He admits he f#%ked up, so what? Some guy on there has done over 600 miles and never gone over 7000rpm, well mr 20 mile crasher will probably end up with a stronger motor than that nancy. He states hes into stunting and only ever crashed twice, he's got a pretty good attitude about the whole thing really. Top marks to him I say, and bad luck on the bin, shit happens....</TD></TR></TABLE>
You're right kiwigav. My apologies for judging too quickly I /we shouldn't do that without knowing the whole story. However it's just that you get so used to seeing and hearing about people doing dumb stuff that when something like this happens a lot of the time the assumption is that the person was probably doing something that they had no business doing, someplace they had no business doing it. The majority of the time the assumption is usually the rule rather than the exception.
It's great that he accepts responsibility both moral and financial, but the fact still remains that he was probably still doing something that he had no business doing, someplace he had no business doing it. Probably in traffic and or on surface streets:
"RIDING FROM THE DEALER AND I DIDNT MAKE IT HOME, I JUST KEPT WHEELING AND WHEELING AND I WANTED TO SEE IF IT COULD COME UP IN 3RD WITHOUT CLUTCHING IT"...
Hmmmmmmmm. Sounds like a definite case of "wrong place wrong time to me" along with a little dose of irresponsible thrown in for good measure.
