RE: CRASHED
That's why you take a rider's course. Of course, they can't make someone use common sense. I'm glad that I learned a lot about riding on a dirt bike. I did a lot of stupid stuff, ate my share of dirt, and bounced off a bunch of trees. In the end, I learned what to me are the most important lessons; to always ride within my own capabilities and, when in doubt, always err on the side of caution. I may not keep up with the Speedy Gonzalez's, but I get where I'm going in the end. The dude will never get his confidence back if he doesn't get back in the saddle. If some bruises and a limp is the worst he got, then he learned a lesson without to much of a payback.

It sounds to me like he shouldn't be on a bike, ever.
Have you ever given thought to the fact that motorcycles aren't for everyone? I have and I know people who should never think about riding a motorcycle. They lack the most basic skills of road knowledge and hand/eye coordination. At least in a car they only need to concentrate on keeping the car on the road, not the car falling over on its side.
