OH, MAN, I feel so bad for poor Seth.

About a month ago he hit a curb and laid his bike down; it scratched him and his bike up pretty good. He thought he could fix it, so, he sanded it down and spray painted it, but, it turned out looking like crap.

So, I started doing some research on "how-to" and told him that if he would follow those steps and listen to his Dad I would foot the bill for him to try again.

He has worked so hard for about a week wet sanding and sanding and sanding some more. He did all the bondo work and sanded some more. He has done a really good job on it so far. Tonight he decided to put it back together as is and ride it to town to save a little gas money.

I heard him take off from the drive and then some other noise and then heard him shutting it down. I ran outside to see what happened and he was limping it in the drive... he had failed to put a couple of screws in the left fairing and when the wind caught it, it ripped it completely off.. breaking plastic pieces and ripped the bracing off the bike. Not only did it ruin all the work he has done over the past week it did some pretty serious damage.

I just wanted to cry for him.

He just left it sitting in the drive-way, got in his car and screamed off down the highway.

He called me in a few minutes when he had time to calm down (a little) and told me that he was just DONE.

I tried to encourage him but it was not the time so I let it go. Hopefully, when I tell Dad this story he will have pity on Seth and help him fix this.

Even if Seth is DONE, we need to fix it so we can sell it for what he still owes on it.

He was ready to push it off in the dump.
