How not to learn how to ride a motorcycle...

TraumaOne · 12-18-2006, 11:17 PM

This is why I always recommend the sv as a beginner bike...

Mojave954 · 12-18-2006, 11:25 PM

Oldie but a goodie.

We have that red rider smilie over here?

yup.

But, since this is a new site. You are safe.,

GhostRider · 12-18-2006, 11:28 PM

The guy is an idiot...but I just hate seeing a nice new bike go through that.

CBRVFR · 12-18-2006, 11:45 PM

Yeah, but without idiots like that, how do people like me get salvage title SV track bikes for next to nothing?

Besides which, if that had been a big GSXR, they'd still be picking bone fragments out of the tree. Or tree fragments out of his bones. Or something.

exactly... at least is was a smooth acceleration into the tree not a wild wheelie

Oh, I have a bunch of them...

What an idiot...someone should have showed him where the brakes were.

deftones156 · 12-19-2006, 03:55 PM

I can't see most videos at work, but is this the one where the guy (with no gear on) runs his shiny red 650 across the street and into the tree?

smoothrideronli · 12-19-2006, 04:53 PM

yep...thats it.

HondaGalToo · 12-19-2006, 05:21 PM

...and yet people think starting on a 500cc bike or smaller will be "too small"

smoothrideronli · 12-19-2006, 05:34 PM

A smaller bike would have just have allowed him to crash slower...idiots seem to find accidents no matter what you do.

HondaGalToo · 12-19-2006, 05:36 PM

In this guy's case, that's probably very true.

you call his throttle control smooth?

when I first saw the thread title I thought, he's finally gonna learn to ride

Best thing about idiots is all of their friends with cameras.

I just don't get how someone can get on a bike and actually TURN it on and try to drive when they go and do this shit. A guy of that skill level should start on a go-kart and not even be allowed to sit on a bike, much less try to ride it.

Actually he should start small...look at a few pictures...then look at the bike...and then actually see someone ride it...then sit down and take a break...it might be too much for his brain to comprehend.

TraumaOne · 12-20-2006, 07:21 PM

He probably drives a car... very scary.

dbvolfan · 12-20-2006, 08:21 PM

Thats as good as the guy picking up his new Harley and then riding it into the parked cars across the parking lot!
