Let's see, 1 totaled Kawasaki , 1 BMW with probably several thousand dollars in damage. Maybe totaled.1 car, & 1 motorcycle owner, both with tremendous inconvenience & loss. Now, this joy riding thief is in the hospital with probably a minimum of half a million dollars worth of care coming to him. IF "Johnny" heals, he'll spend the next few years in Jail at a cost of about $300 per day for incarceration. And you TOONCHI hope this worthless P.O.S. gets better and wished he went elsewhere to heal? Why don't you volunteer to pay all the damages and grief "Johnny" caused? I can't believe I just read his comment
