Wish I could say I'm surprised. Hopefully he'll recover quick and actually learn something from it.

He passed the MSF course. He just purchased too much cycle (twice) for his experience.

Gravitational forces plus the laws of physics are still in effect.

I'm just coming off working as a driver for a medic crew for the ROT Rally. That is Republic of Texas, or as we call it, Ride On Trailer. thousands and thousands of motorcycles flooding into a state that has a "I'm a grown up and can decide to not wear a helmet" state... And only 4 die. I say only because most are self taught, on 1200-1600cc and shit-hammered drunk.

Sure make fun of their ignorance. But, to say its more dangerous than anything we do on a daily basis is perhaps a bit rich.
