When I was 17 I used to pump gas at this station that had 3 bays with a row of pumps around 20' feet in front of the bays.
One summer evening me & 3 other guy's were hanging out in the end bay, which was directly across from the pumps
One of the guy's had a 1967 Kawasaki 250, his baby of course and I asked him if I could ride it around the station & he said ok (huge mistake)
Anyway I start it & give it like 3 revs and released the clutch (I never rode that bike before
) and instantly the wheel goes up & I take off across the lot at around 30 mph & by the time I dropped the wheel I was like 3 feet in front of pump #4, and you can probably guess the rest.
I ate the pump and almost destroyed the bike.
So, I hit the ground, rolled around a little, got up & watched this cop car pull into the station.
He says something like are you ok & I say something like l've felt better.
He brings me to the hospital and they have to remove some glass from my arm & I got a few stiches
I was very lucky but I destroyed the pump, got fired & ended up paying the guy $300 for repair to his bike.
That was memorable
This was the bike
Cool right?

Sorry about your loss of a friend.
One thing that might ease some of your pain is the thought that he is out of pain and at peace.

What does "rode on" mean? Did you ride it or were you a passenger?
