Wow, sorry to hear that.
I didn't think WP cadets were allowed to ride motorcycles, even on leave. I know cadets at USCGA are banned from owning or operating any two-wheeled motorized vehicle.

I do not recall any restrictions about riding them off-post.
1. All cadets may drive automobiles, including rental cars, provided they
have a valid driver's license, comply with the motor vehicle laws of the
state or country, and operate them by class in accordance with the below
Cadet Regulations. Cadets will not own or operate motorcycles, trail
bikes, motor bikes, mopeds, motor scooters, three wheeled ATC’s or
ATV’s, or other two wheeled motorized vehicles.
If true, I would hope that they change that. 19-22 year olds have too little experience riding them - unless you ride every day you will not be proficient. Taking one out on leave (riding is only a few times a year) is conduct that should be prohibited IMHO if not already.
