After an bad day working on the car, I decided to go to a birthday party for a friend of mine up in Lawrenceville. Food, cake, and wiffleball...ya know the good stuff. There were a few young kids there ~18-19 all around this one kids GSXr 600 and next thing I know the kid is going up and down the street doing wheelies. Thought to myself, this kid is gonna crash or hit a car! Well, next thing I hear the thing cut out, hear it sliding, then BAM! Ran up to the front of the house to see the kid AND the bike UNDER my truck! we pulled them out in fear of a fire with gas, and all sorts of other fluids all over the place. He got banged up bad! Road rash to the bone in 4 spots, and got a ride to the hospital in the ambulance. After cleaning up parts of Suzuki from under the truck I realize he destroyed my power steering box, bent my center link, and turned my front wheels (which were straight) to a 45* to the right
My steering column was completely locked up and took alot of force to unlock it, as soon as I started the truck all the power steering fluid that was left came blowing out, and I hear some pretty nasty grinding when I turn the wheel. Left the truck, gonna call the insurance company first thing in the morning. I just talked to the kid a little while ago, they released him from the hospital, and will be meeting up with me tomorrow to square everything away. I was glad to hear that he was okay, but with three weeks until Ocean City, I need my tow vehicle ready, and doubt it will be.
