God Almighty!

That guy had no lid, no gear and NO idea!

Some States really need to toughen up their Laws to prevent people like this from going anywhere near bikes.

If that'd been a wall or a parked van he'd probably be seriously injured or dead.

That has to be about as stupid as it gets. No one reviewed brakes with this guy? He problably said he had ridden before and didn't need instructions. I'm guessing a buddies bike. Only I ride my bike - if I let someone else and they wreck it - my fault.

Sounds like he actually accelerated into the tree. I don't think he even pulled the clutch lever. Looks that guy didn't know how to handle any bike, regardless of size.

Maybe the SV650 shouldn't be classified as a bike at the top end of the beginner bikes lol. That was pretty funny honestly. I first thought he was going straight into the van when I saw him starting out behind it. Didn't even thing about going off-road lol.

I'd have to agree about it looking like a buddies bike, since it has aftermarket pipe on it already, but who knows. I bet he tried to grab for the brake, and hit the gas at the same time, I know I did this when I first got on a bike. Mine didn't turn out like that lol.

Well it STARTED as a nice looking bike. I do appreciate the genepool joke. And I bet you guys weren't that great your first time out!!! Get off my case!

Okay, I'm done, just kidding yadda yadda. I wore a helmet when I drove my friends bike into a tree. Sorry BuzZz. And in all fairness, the damn thing jumped me!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
