[QUOTE="Niks97cobra, post: 8967661, member: 33075"] I have had a good friend killed within the last year on his bike. I have at least three friends who have been injured badly on a bike within the last year. My father owns three bikes, a ninja and two harleys and my brother owns two bikes, a harley and a buell. My brother has worked at Augusta Harley Davidson for years, recently leaving to pursue a firefighters job he has always wanted. I have rode several bikes over the last 9 years. No one is safe on a bike. They are great fun, but no driver is safe. You cannot control what the 15 year old kid in the suv is going to do. No one is safe from getting seriously injured on a bike. He should not be riding his bike for any kind of safety reason. That being said, you aren't safe doing anything. I smoke cigarettes, but don't care to risk my life riding a motorcycle. Do either of these decisions make me a more sensible person? The realistic fact of life is that none of us know when or how we are going to die. Are you not going to take your car down the track if someone says it is too dangerous? It is not your place to tell someone that a sport bike is out of their league. You could cause a serious fracture in the family. What if the parents forbid him to get the bike at your behest? The kid is eighteen. He can leave and do whatever he wants. Instead of betraying his trust and showing his parents this thread, trying showing it to him. You are not his father. You are his sister's husband. This is not your call, or your concern, IMO. If I told on my girlfriend's younger sisters every time I knew they were doing something dangerous or immature, I would have torn that family apart. They do some pretty dumb shit, some of which includes bikes that have way more than a 600 cc engine. [/QUOTE]
