Have a spare clutch lever handy. Not that I know from experience or anything.

Good idea, this is normally the first thing to brake and makes getting home very difficult.

I told him before he rode it that if he broke it, he had to buy the parts... 


And, my motivation was to help the guy out... 


He'd only ever ridden the cruiser from the MSF course and didn't really know if he'd like a sport bike, since he's never ridden one. 


Did I mention that he PASSED the MSF course?


I'd hate for my long-time friend to buy an SVS and not like it.   :dunno_white:  Wouldn't that suck?


I used his camera to take a bunch of pics and videos...  I'll hassle him about giving them to me.


And... He didn't crash!  YAAAAAAAAY!!!  :icon_mrgreen:

That's just retarded. Did he even know where the brake handle was?  :cookoo:
