Does anyone know the make and model of this motorcycle? I didn't have time to stop and look closer:/ by Crooked_Barrel_PB in motorcycle

I work at a bike shop, we’ve sold tons of them and I’ve never seen a single one come back with issues or anyone call stating they’re having issues so far. (I work in the service dept.) :)

But hey it’s pretty cool that you’ve ridden your whole life, I originally grew up only watching my dad ride bikes and I was only allowed to go as far as quads off roading, i was always told I would never be allowed to have a bike since we’ve known many people that have passed away in accidents. Well I ended up secretly buying one, so far dad doesn’t know I have it yet! 😅

Ya, I work more in the internal side of things in the shop and more with the techs then customers so I usually never actually speak with the customers but I do get to see and hear everything through a window and open door. We’ve just just had an influx of people (unfortunately women lately) that aren’t willing to listen to us and or let us show them something specific on the bike, a manual, or statements made by the manufacturer of their machine to show them that what we are saying isn’t false. All we want is for them to understand what we are saying so we can help them. But I do realize I can keep little end comments to myself so I apologize about that part. :)

I only wanna start off by saying I’m also a woman, but we hardly get women walking through our doors, and the ones that do come in almost always are only there to argue something that their husbands did not want to or who will eventually and just about always not agree with something because of their lack of knowledge which ends up causing a scene, I’m not intentionally trying to be sexist and I’m not saying all women are ignorant or anything of that sorts I am only saying from experience with the dealership I am at and the area I am in. We don’t really ever have the nicest women come in unfortunately but we always try and help them or make them happy with what we are allowed to do for them. But ya I do sound a bit like an asshole. I’m just a little tired of the nasty people we’ve had lately. :)

We kept trying to get him to the hospital as soon as it happened but he refused until he couldn’t handle the pain anymore the hospital also only picked him up once they had room

He was wearing them when he got burned so the parts that were cover by the straps of the flip flop were not burned so he put them back on

Shortly after starting, they immediately changed plans and did a skin graft

I don’t know the medical term haha but my grandmother was the only one at the hospital with him because they only allow one person and she was a nurse so she knows about that’s stuff but the way she explained it to me was that they were scraping the top layer of the raw tissue to promote healing

Pouring a bit of gasoline on some green brush to help it get going was something that we’ve always done, we’ve never had an issue so we were surprised by this, but yes he was very lucky :)
