Thing is we don't know what was/wasn't damaged besides the wheel, but I might be inclined to believe that one front wheel might cost more than the rest of the damage done to the bike.

oh...wow.....i didn't know that they were THAT expensive. I was gonna give it like $1000 tops for just one front wheel.

Come on....he highsided his bike, it flipped, landed on the front wheel and it broke.

What would be the reason behind a lawsuit??

The wheel shattered after coming back down from a high side, wheel rupture was not the cause of the accident.

The cost alone of that busted wheel brought a tear to my eye.

That is a friend of mine and there will be no lawsuit that I know of. Shit happens as we all know. Both the front and rear wheels are being sent to BST to be analyzed. He will be back on the track in 6-8 weeks.
