Nothing new, people buy new bikes and wreck them. Some live to tell about it and some don't. It is a personal choice, maybe he can and will learn to be a better rider. I have several years of experience on bikes mostly sport bikes. I have rode track and not drag racing but road racing. I can say it is dangerous for sure, I have had several friends get killed over the years, and one right in front of us. Nothing like seeing someone one minute then the next there no longer here with us. I am by no means trying to scare you, but the reality is that he is not the only one you have to worry about, have to worry about all the other idiots on the road. Always wear you gear, helmet,gloves, boots ect. Here is a local website to houston, texas motohouston.com, I have been around the bike stuff since 06, have seen a lot, but the reality of it is death is perminate and no going back and trying to do it over. I think just this month, there has been some 20 people killed, and looks to be a bad year or at least a start. A year or so ago we did a thread on accidents, and there was at minimum 1 for every day of the year. As sad as it is, I have just gotten use to people that ride that die. It is a lot of fun and have thought about getting another bike, but for me I dont think I could ride the street anymore, tried it after my friend died on 2 occasions and just didnt feel comfortable. So I kept it to the track with full leathers and dragging knee at 100+mph, it is fun but expensive, and maybe one day I will do it again.
