So sorry to hear this, my prayers are with him. What DavidMil was refering to is I just got a Harley Ultra Classic. You really have to drive 300 yards in front of you at ALL TIMES. I've only had it 2 weeks tomorrow and have been cut off by a tractor trailer and a few cars that turned or pulled out in front of me, unbeleivable, and mine has 3 headlightes on it. Although I'm uneasy about riding when it's dark I did take it to work yesterday at 4am, not much traffic on the road then but the deer and racoons are out so I took the long way and bypassed the backcountry.
I reallypray for a full recovery for your friend.
