what about "At 11:45 p.m., he went out with two friends" young kids and their friends means the group IQ was about 30. hey when I was that age the really stupid stuff always seemed to have friends as witnesses. The graduated licensing concept is a good one, not perfect but given the performance of even a 600 these days (zero to splat in just a second more than the really fast bikes) I would never let a kid ride anything that quick for a street bike. The problem we have is that bikes are an easy target, and lots of politicians are willing to make hay off the issue, remember the DOT "safety" motorcycle of 20 or 30 years ago. While I am sorry for the young man's loss I think I have to agree with the personal responsibility group. The kid did it to himself.
