No. Motorcycle riding is dangerous no matter how experienced or skilled you are. Other motorists tend not to see a cyclist. My hubby lost his leg at 18 yrs old. He was getting set to race professionally. He was very safe and still is. Over the years we have lost our younger friends due to inexperience mainly on their cycles...racing, showing off etc. He should not get a bike from the sound of it. Only he can make that decision, you can hope he will become more responsible. Have him talk to veteran riders they will have more advice to offer. Stop by a local motorcycle shop I'm sure they will help with riding tips and safety advice. Good luck!

They are nice for a country drive. They are usually loud so they keep deer away. They are very good on gas.
Now for the Cons:
They are no good in the snow and I wouldn't recommend driving one in rain either. Inexperienced driver can lose control over a pothole or small rock. The only thing between you and the road in an accident is your helmet. If you wear protective gear it's to prevent your skin from scraping off your body in the event of an accident. If you are in a city area cars and trucks have no regard for you - most of the time not seeing you until the last moment. So it doesn't even have anything to do with how experienced a driver you are - it also depends a LOT on the drivers around you.

the two sure and no and that is human nature. that's the entire us v. them ingredient, that each and every person started interior the late 1940's. interior the previous or maybe into at present. bike club patch holders, picked on any person who did no longer holiday a Harley. this attitude grew to become into %. up by making use of Harley (the enterprise) and used to sell motorcycles. quickly purely approximately each and every Harley rider, patch holder or no longer, grew to become into choosing on non Harley riders. on the comparable time a sparkling style of bike grew to become into coming onto the industry, interior the form of the crotch rocket/activity bike. The Harley riders jumped in on the sport bike riders, however the sport bike riders did no longer lay down like the others, they fought decrease back. that is been occurring now for, 30 years or so now. till your a patch holder in a a million% club, or a help club, there is no actual clarification for it. maximum Harley riders and non a million% golf equipment have out grown it. that is purely the sport bike riders, who care now a days. faster or later they're going to strengthen up, then they are going to be picked on by making use of the extra youthful young ones, who holiday who is conscious what.

20 going on 16--------------------------I see.
How did the car get totalled? His fault?
The some kind of bike should probably be a bicycle, if anything.
You can't carry children that small on a motorcycle. Responsibility is the key.
I may ride my motorcycle every day, but my wife drives the family car and THAT comes first. ALWAYS.

bikes are a lot easier to manuver, but harder for other drivers to see.
if he's had a bunch of wrecks with 4 wheels under him, he shouldn't even think about a bike.
