RIP.
I was doing a research project on rider fatalities. And one of the sources did a great piece on military rider deaths. There's a lot of young servicemen that are seemingly coming home from service and picking up the biggest and baddest machines with little or no rider training. Part of the issue (according to the article's author) is the untaxed income while serving (surplus of income), a mode to release stress (from combat, post-traumatic stress, etc.) and the bravado associated with teenagers and young men in their early twenties.
