Check out this link of a dude and his new bike. He apparently hadn't too much experience on the bike. Low speed collision.

I guess turning requires more than 5 seconds of riding experience. I have seen this video before and have always wondered why the guy just didnt turn!?! I guess he was more afraid to hit the ground than the tree.

Is it wrong for me to laugh my "O Ring" off?
. I liked his riding gear, it must of offered a ton of protection

That was SO funny, but i feel bad for the guy...a similar thing happened to me when i was 9 on my first dirt bike except I ran into the chimney and fell into the bushes that surrounded it LOL.
Have any of you seen that video of the guy rolling out this BRAND NEW yellow Ducati and it falls over?! That one is classic.

Hopefully "mommy" decided the MfS course was worth the money.

It is so obvious that he's never touch the bike before and don't know how to apply brake, instead of braking or slowing the bike, he pushed more on throttle into the tree. This can happen with all newbies who don't know what they are doing. They why a lot recommened MSF course before hoping on the bike yourself.

if you dont have a proper newbie grip on the throttle, when the bike surges forward your body gets thrown back causing you to roll on even more throttle. im sure he didnt actually mean to gas it up but rather got thrown back causing him to do it.

I still laugh when i see it. Posted this mostly for the "new" riders who are interested in dropping 7K on the latest and greatest. Visuals always help. But I do love it when he hits the tree, gets me everytime!
