Sorry to hear - but sometimes the lessons learned are fatal....and that's sad. He picked a wrong time to take his eyes off the road. Prayers with family for sure.

When i hear the word "Crotch Rocket", I think of my thunder crotch
Isn't that an STD?
In the end it's possible that two people were responsible for his death. He was for riding in the manner portrayed in the article. It's one thing to ride hard, and another to ride hard and turn around to look at trailing friends. The truck driver for turning in front of him.
I feel sorry for her and wish her well.

Look in the mirror Mom.
You want to start looking for fault. Start with your son, then look at yourself.
He died because of poor judgement. Where did he learn judgement from, his parents.

I feel for the mother, but the son was obviously at fault in this. It wasn't the motorcycle's fault. This could have happened on a cruiser, a sports car, even a minivan if you drive it like a racecar.
Nevertheless, I do think she is on to something when she mentions that he didn't have a motorcycle endorsement on his license. I wish there was a law that made it mandatory to take some type of course similar to the MSF course before you received the motorcycle endorsement. This would prevent someone from just going to the DMV to take the test without receiving the proper training and being aware of the many hazards of motorcycle riding. Also, states could make it mandatory to have the motorcycle endorsement on your license before being able to register the motorcycle and receive a tag for it. Lastly, insurance companies should make it mandatory to have the motorcycle endorsement on your license before they would insure it.
I think this would drastically cut down the amount of motorcycle fatalities.
Just my two cents.

It's sad to lose another rider, but understand that it's a parent's worst nightmare to lose a child no matter what is the circumstances. But I agree that the first responsibility lies with the rider. We must all ride with our brains not our wrists twisting the throttle especially on a Busa. In 20 years of riding, this is the first bike that REALLY earns my respect in every aspect.
