Got a new motorcycle! My first ride video

Transition · Jul 22, 2003

Wow, this things so fast it's hard to control while it's parked!

Descartes · Jul 22, 2003

Damn, how bad was he hurt?

[edit]Nm, found the thread[/edit]

Transition · Jul 22, 2003

Not sure. Hopefully bad enough so the fool wears equipment next time.

Joony · Jul 22, 2003

ugly pontiac aztec...

poor guy...

isekii · Jul 22, 2003

ROFL he gave it more gas rather than applying the brakes.

ROFL~!!

Hayabusa Rider · Jul 22, 2003

He is NOT invited to the OT New England MC ride.

no doubt...I guess a newbie could have difficulty applying the front brake though...its the same hand as the throttle hand.

Too bad he didn't crash into the Aztec and destroy it.

"ohh $hit, ohh $hit" the guy in the back ground keeps saying

Two words, jack ass. First time I rode a motorcycle, my dad talked me through the controls for a minute or two and then I took off. Never found it hard and have never had an incident and hopefully I never do.

Hopefully he did not point you straight at a tree either

ROFL he could have slight pulled to the left and had a safe fall on the grass.

What a dolt.

Darwin Runner up ?

Hayabusa Rider · Jul 22, 2003

Actually, he got real lucky. Hard to judge the distance he had to accelerate, but the SV is no slouch. Entirely possible that if he grabbed a handfull of throttle, he might have hit that tree at 30. That would have hurt a lot worse.

halik · Jul 22, 2003

hahahahahhahahaha what a dumb bitch.... my dad taought me and i was riding since i was 10

Rogue · Jul 22, 2003

Nah, I was pointed perpendicular to a major street with parked cars on both sides of the driveway and cars going both directions on the street. Mind you, I weighed a wopping 135 pounds at that point and was on a Virago 750, which is a pretty big bike, both for a newbie and a small guy like I was.

BillGates · Jul 22, 2003

btw, good thing he had all his safety gear on!

Rogue · Jul 22, 2003

Why protect your head, when there's nothing important inside?

Vette73 · Jul 22, 2003

That guy is not even tall enough to ride it. He can barely touch the ground, and a SV650 if that is what it is, is NOT a starter bike, esp for that short and small of a person.

I was thinking the same thing lol

Renob · Jul 22, 2003

OMG that is so funny

I guess its a good thing that wan not a car coming at him,

Beau · Jul 22, 2003

HAHAHA

AgentBehemoth · Jul 22, 2003

Yeah these are all great stories. I was 10 and rode a 1200 on a guidewire between two rows of fighters jet......blah blah blah.

The truth is anyone can die on a bike at any given moment no matter the skill level. Most times anyone can make you die if THEY put YOU in the right situation.
There was a rider that ended up dead in a ravine 200 ft down this weekend in the NC mountains and they say he had ridden for years.

I laugh at the dumbasses like everybody else but I never kid myself about having total control of my life cause I don't and neither do the rest of you.

Better learn it. Peace.

Bulk Beef · Jul 22, 2003

Two more words: target fixation - if you look at something thinking "I sure don't want to go there", that's exactly where you're going to go. You only have two eyes. There are an infinite number of places you don't want to be, and a few places where you do want to be. Waaaay easier to think about the few rather than the many.

Man, if I had a dollar for every time I heard some bonehead say "I let my buddy ride it, and he totaled it."

ViperXX · Jul 23, 2003

What a dumbass. If there was a dumbass hall of fame he would be an inductee

OverVolt · Jul 23, 2003

So how was the tree?

The Stigenator · Jul 23, 2003

oh my that brings memeories of colin's SV650 .. this bike and colin's bike had yoshimura exhausts.. that's an yosh exhaust note..

and yes that's an SV650.. I do recommend it for new riders but I also caution it saying its a wheelie machine from hell.. glad he didnt wheelie it and hit the tree.

Nevertheless the guy is stupid to try ride an SV650 with NO experience.. and no helmet or jacket or gloves..

Got a new motorcycle! My first ride ** video **
