I know how that can feel.
Many years ago when I had a mid engine Italian thing.
I knew some who were tuners and rally drivers,
Anyway i got custom cans from this guy and he wanted to drive the car...
I had 4 motorcycles over the years before I stopped riding. I let a guy who was also owned a bike ride mine once. Dumped it in the first block.
Learned my lesson, luckily it was a light dump.
