Why is my motorcycle popping?

Motorcycle delima. I need answers from guys and girls please...?

  • My husband's friend got into a motorcycle accident tonight and his foot was completly torn apart. He went into surgery to have his leg removed. Before he went into surgery, he told my husband he'd be willing to let him take over the payments on the bike (a brand new Yamaha R1 - not the same back he was riding during the accident) My husband said he'd talk to me, but basically agreed to it. He's had bikes before and is a careful rider. Three years and not a single accident. He never does stunts or anything like that (his friend was popping a wheely when it happened) Should I let him take advantage of an unfortunate situation that would replace his old bike (a car hit and ran it in a parking lot) and would also help out his buddy who can no longer ride or should I say NO WAY JOSE! Remember, he's an established 27 yr old rider whos been riding for years. I'm asking your opinion because right now I'm a little freaked out from what happened to his friend and need outside advice. Thanks

  • Answer:

    To me, this is a win win situation. You can help a friend and get something you want. I know you are freaked out because this accident is fresh in your mind, but people are injured in thousands of auto accidents every day and I'm sure you hop into your car without a second thought. You should also take comfort in the fact that your husband gives riding the respect it deserves and isn't reckless. Go for it and have fun!!!

I'm a little unclear on what bike the friend was riding. If it was something other than the R1, go for it.

if its what your hubby wants to do, go for it. if worse comes to worse, sell it to pay the medical bills. its really up to him. support him not matter what. good luck to his bud.

I don't believe you have much choice in the matter if your relationship doesn't work that way already. The info about the old bike indicates that your husband likes to ride -- probably a done deal to him already that the R1 is now his. You can though steer him toward proper safety equipment as part of the bargain for when skills and mellow demeanor don't save him. Riding a motorcycle itself is a little risky just considering the morons in cars, but being without a helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, or boots is another gamble entirely.

Payments come due every month. If you can afford it pay this months payment just to help your buddy out. Then take that time to calm down and think about it rationally. Then if its something you both can agree on then go for it. Decisions made during stressful times are often regretted later.

go for it. i am an avid rider, and very safety conscious also. i was involved in a motorcycle accident a year ago, and broke my foot and lot of road rash, (wiped out on some gravel washed onto the road from a rainstorm the day before) but i love to ride. i fixed my bike a long time before my foot was healed. everything in life has some dangers to it. some are more dangerous than others, but if you stayed safe and didn't do anything, how much life would you really enjoy? and I'd bet your 1 legged friend (if he really loves to ride) will find a way to, if he wants. there is a web site for disabled motorcycle riders with tips on how to modify bikes to accommodate for handicaps.

Let him. If he is as level headed as you say there should be no problem

Hi, there. First of all, I really feel for you right now. Calm down, take it easy. Think things through and get much trusted advice before doing anything. I don't know the relationship that he has with his friend, but if he agreed to it, and if you guys can, maybe it would be a good thing to take over the payments. This is just advice, however, from what you've told me. My best advice to you is to seek advice from those that really know what's going on. Take care and good luck with whatever decision you make. God bless.
