Crap!

Drinks on me.
Last week my son (25) passed his safety course and on Monday got his
learner's permit. (Here you still have to poass a road test after the
course to get a full licence)
One of the guys at work was selling a 2005 XL883 and was also looking for a
50 watt tube amp which I happened to have for sale.
We struck a deal and I took posession of the Sporty yesterday afternoon.
I registered it under my name but my son was riding it to learn on with a
view to him either buying it from me or me keeping it to turn into a hot
rod.
I've never seen him as happy as he was riding that bike.
24 hours later he was riding along Corydon Ave which is a popular retaurant
and bar street here when someone pulled out of a parking spot right in
front of him. He didn't even have time to react.
Fortunately he had a good jacket on and a brand new well fitted helmet
which he came and got about 2 hours earlier.
He's a bit banged up but nothing broken except his spirit a bit.
He's more angry than anything though and can't wait to get back on the
bike.
Unfortunately there are a few broken bits and pieces to replace and we'll
have to wait for the insurance company to release the bike after the long
weekend. Double firtunately I'll be able to scare up the parts myself and
the service dept will most likely get him back on the road fairly quickly.
Just wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.
