Yeah, at least in my area, the only people that ride sport bikes are total squids. Well, really the only people fully geared are the touring guys and the occasional nut (like me or @
Jono)
It's debilitating as a fellow motorcyclist to see this stuff happening all the time, but it just gets pushed aside in the brain like everything else. It's when something like THIS happens so close to home that people really start to wonder what they're doing and how they're doing it. I really hope prospective riders in his family will learn this lesson..
