Well. Lesson learned, on both of your accounts. Glad he was uninjured, save for maybe a little bruised pride.

You might better spend your money and send him to a high performance driving school(bike or car) first. They would teach him to respect speed and power. Glad to hear he is OK. Bat Pig out.
