This is awful... I grew up with Adam and his brother Alex who was riding behind him when he wrecked. It's sickening to me that first of all someone sold him this big of a bike. It also makes me wonder why people no longer have respect for motorcycles (including those just trying to make a profit off selling them). You don't master riding one in a week.. or a year... or even many years from what I've come to see. I have the 650R Ninja mentioned in a previous post and it is even too much for a beginner. There shouldn't be such a stigma that a 250 is a "girl/baby bike". My prayers go out to his family and new wife. It's just another sad day for riders everywhere.
