Number one killer of young Marines are motorcycles, next to IEDS.
Happens all the time: young Marine returns from deployment, has lots of cash saved up, buys biggest bike he can get, never mind gear or training! Many die within a few miles, sometimes blocks, from the cycle dealer. Sadly, I personally, know many who have.
Many keep the bikes in off-base storage because they don't have the required license,training, insurance, etc. to get it on-base. Not saying that was the case here but it happens...A lot.
May this Leatherneck rest in peace.
Semper Fi,
