Damn, Sam. Really sorry to hear that. It's old, but it's true.. they didn't have enough time to learn anything.
Nice, hardworking guys buy new Harleys, but they don't know how to ride them. They get hooked up riding in large groups and they get killed. Sucks.
That's why I NEVER do the toy runs around the holidays. Like I've been telling my little brother for years. "I don't need 30 thousand other people telling me I'm havin' a good time". He always laughs at that, but he's rode every gnarly ass 2-wheeler out there. (I ain't kiddin', and built a shcitbox full of 'em).
Really sorry for family. Wish they'd had more time to learn.
