Last week Saturday I made the mistake of letting my wife's 34 year old nephew who claims to have riden a 125cc Yamaha dirt bike during his teenage years ride my Resto-mod Rupp Roadster 2. I told him not to gun it and to takeoff gently since on a paved surface with lots of traction it has enough power to wheelie up and throw you off. Well he was out riding with his cousin who was riding my Predator powered stage 1 doodle beast and after a while his cousin came back saying that he Supermanned it and wheelied it over and that it won't start. We took the Escape and went to pick him up. Thankfully he wasn't hurt too bad just had some abrasions on his hands and bruised his right leg. The bikes rear fender was broken along with the tail light and the seat pan was bent upward aout an inch and 1/2. I used a hand winch and a homemade block and tackle made out of 2 by 4's to pull it back down. Now I need to paint my new fender and the paint shop was closed until Monday morning. I guess it's Tuesday now since I work all day on Monday.
