In many states, like here in Florida, you cannot operate a motorcycle unless you have an endorsement on your driver's license that you've taken this course and passed.
The education and practice of skills never ends, and when you get good at it is really when you begin to enjoy yourself, when you know you are doing it right, and it feels good.
One of the things that could have happened to your friend to cause his accident is something so simple he may not have even been aware of it. Tires are really slippery when they are cold and have very little grip on the road 'till the rubber warms up, which can be after only a few miles of riding or as long as 10 min. Whether or not he hit a patch of ice or sand or anything in the road doesn't matter, the road could have been bone clean, he could have gone down just making a nice gentle turn if his tires were stiff and cold, and/or by applying the throttle that could have made him lose it even faster because he had very poor traction. But I guess he would know that because his father taught him to ride, and that would have been covered completely in a one hour course. Things just don't happen, they are usually caused by human error in these situations. Basically he went down, not only from lack of knowledge, but because of his attitude. Don't let that happen to you.
