I Would like to share to all of you a story of my friend.
This just happened a couple of months ago.
This story happened near Manila,Philippines.
Let's just hide this boy's name to Marcus.
Marcus is a boy who's passion is motorcycles., specifically underbone bikes. He really loves to ride. he isn't into racing, but he likes going out with fellow riders. Unfortunately for him, he is underage, so he falsified his License documents.He has been riding bikes for a couple of years, he also encountered accidents, acquiring bruises., etc. With the absence of a father, he became somewhat carefree. (He (Marcus) is going to school, FYI.)
His family is of course, strongly opposes his passion to ride. They are trying to discouragehim from riding because of this reasons:1.underage2.risky,dangerous,deadly,etc. etc.3.finish his studies first.So this became downright complicated. (I am also trying to help their family, so I think those of you, fellow riders who will read this will also help.)
Then happened when someone concerned to him, tried talking to his friends, (in a nice way) to somehow stay away from him, Which Marcus later on knew, so he became very furious. This "talking to his friends" occured frequently so that this people will avoid Marcus. (But he still continued to ride)So came this day when some "malas" happened to him, he met an accident wherein he bumped with a crossing pedestrian. He was thrown away from his bike but nothing fatal, just serious bruises. Unfortunately, for the pedestrian, was hit, and after being brought to the hospital, passed away. After the police investigation, blotter, etc. etc. An off-court settlement was made.After the smoke has cleared, comes a new problem, Marcus, of course, still wants to ride, but because of people close to him are already afraid that something similar to what happened to him will happen again, won't let him.So Marcus made himself "kulong" in his house, not going out until a motorcycle comes.
They even got a counseor/therapist to help, but to no avail. Up to now his situation is still in the house, and not going out. It's been for quite some time now. He still wants to ride.....Hope u can help!Thanks!More power to u all!
Maybe I'm wrong?
Dave.

well before he cane ride a motorcycle he need a proper riding evaluation and a license, or if he is too young to have a license try to ride in a race course and practice hiss riding skills. If it is his passion he should know how to ride properly there are some group who train and teach how to ride safe and teach the do's and dont's of riding a motorcycle.. Like me i may have a big passion for motorcycle not just for riding but for racing, but i know the diff of racing a motor and riding it if you want to race try it in the race track or in a safe environment and the proper gears like helmet and pads.... and riding a motor is a big responsibility you should be a defensive rider accidents do happen but its part of riding a motor even in cars but its what you learn from that accident thats what count if he encounter the same accident again its not an accident its irresponsibility, in short learn from your own mistakes..
