Actually I bought it, he got his gear and his own insurance. So how long do you think he should "practice" with the bike before he rides in traffic? He's passed the motorcycle safety course but has no experience riding.

You know it was a motorcycle cop who taught me the finer points of riding. I used to love parade drills where all you heard was the click.Actually I bought it, he got his gear and his own insurance.

How old is he? I was riding at 16- and I did lots of stupid stuff- lucky i survived. I wish I had some really good advice but I dont' know how to prevent teenage boy stupidity (and I am speaking of my own experience not calling your son stupid).
Keep him riding in the daylight, and in good weather at first. I assume you don't ride? If you do- ride with him- if not literally follow him in the car some to make sure he has good riding habits- the ones the courses teach.
Don't let him ride with his buddy to school right away- it was always with us together after school that we did the most stupid things.

My friend lost his leg exactly that way! They took him to the hospital in 2 pieces.You know the bigger danger is in town from car doors opening?
So did I........You know I did to? Started riding at 13. Had a Bultaco Pursang.
Nice......that brings up a lot of memories.A Greeves was my last dirt bike then it was all street.Later I traded it in for a 360 El Bandito ......
Take him to the local Walmart parking lot.All good advice but he has the bike, he's 18 and has no riding experience. I failed to mention he has his own car so he doesn't need the bike to commute. I just don't know how to assess if he's ready for riding in traffic.
