Back to the topic: I know you do not want to hear this, but we all know the right thing is to let your friend's mom know. Hopefully that action on your part will lead to motorcycle training courses, a safe rider and a friend who isn't dead.

And I agree with the majority here - tell the mom. That kid is retarded having just spent hit barmitsva money on a fucking bike.
If he wanted he could have given it to me and I would have just hit him in the head with a brick - same outcome and I get money!

To OP, you should definitely tell his mom about it. Just make sure your friend doesn't find out that it was you who told her about it. PREVENT it before you REGRET it.

a) I was joking
b) there is a bunch of spoiled kids in this thread....
c) i've purchased every car i ever owned and my families well being had nothing to do with that.
d) my post was on topic as i was suggesting the TL-s might be too much car for an INEXPERIENCED DRIVER, much like an R6 is too much bike for an INEXPERIENCED RIDER.... i was making a comparison you twat

Damn, all those "you-are-16-years-old-driving-a-brand-new-car-because-daddy-mommy-paid-for-it" comments are getting old.

Its not about being a more fortunate family, its about being a responsible parent and not giving a car that is capable of going fast quickly to an inexperienced driver who might accidentally KILL SOMEONE ELSE......................
obviously you're a spoiled brat cocofag

Chill, this is not what this thread is about. The OP seems pretty level headed and started this thread to try and do the right thing.

a v6 fwd car is not too much car for a new driver. And I have no chip on my shoulder even though my first car was a POS because I don't let jealousy over material things eat away at my soul. And to the OP,
you did the right thing. I hope you enjoy your future bike, I would consider:https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/anyone-own-new-ninja-250r-394194/
thanks for the laugh

No, but I wouldn't expect you to tell me. When you find out this kid smoked a joint last night, are you going to go tell his mom?
I just don't think it was YOUR spot to rat him out.

And I didn't tell his mom, I told his older brother for the sole purpose of not having the mom know, but the mom still found out.

But I'm telling you, I ride about 20,000 miles a year on my motorcycle and it's dangerous out there. A 15-year-old has no business on an R6 sportbike. Absolutely no way, none whatsoever, especially without experience, proper instructions or safety gear.
He may have just saved his buddy's life.

I understand youre all about being the cool guy but sometimes letting young kids do what they want isnt right. Gonna let an 11 year old eat cake for breajfast lunch and dinner just because they "want to" and are "old enough to know better?"
Under 18 and under my roof = my rules. Hopefully by 18 theyre not idiots.

trust me, I understand the point of this kid warning his mom. But at 15, would you think of it any differently then him being a jealous prick
