Sorry for your kid's friends family Wayne.

I vividly remember when I was a Jr. in high school a kid that rode the bus with me to school finally talked his parents into letting him have a motorcycle to ride to school. He had been riding on the street for a few months. Right in front of our school bus he tried to zip across the street and an 18 wheeler took him out when he slid on some sand in the intersection. It happened right in front of our bus and I saw the entire thing. They shoveled him into a coffin. It was the first funeral I ever went to.

That Friday in school at the assembly they mentioned his death and we had a moment of silence in the auditorium. No councilors, no school organized memorial. The kid was an Air Force kid like I was and I had only known him from riding the bus together for a few weeks.

I never did get "into" motorcycles.
