Bikes are great stress reliever machines. Great to have friends.

cleaned fuel filter,new hose clamps.time to ride,around my hood.he,s learning..baby steps..

Good to see him enjoying and learning. However a damaged brain pan in addition to PTSD may prove insurmountable. Please get him wearing a brain bucket.
