The little involuntary quips from the guy video recording were kinda funny. Also of note is that a beginner friendly bike can still wreac havoc in the wrong hands.

Just do a search on YouTube for "motorcycle crash", you will find many many reasons to take the MSF.
I took the MSF course last year. I think it should be mandatory for all riders before they are issued a license, wether they are experienced or not. They would definitely need to work on lowering the fee though. It wasn't cheap.

While I agree that taking the MSF course before getting on a bike on your own is a good idea, common sense should have told this guy to just let off the throttle. No MSF course will teach common sense.Orion9 wrote:This is why you take an MSF course first!

I watched it a few times just for his comments. The guy on the bike... Well, I haven't actually ridden a motorcycle yet, so I won't comment until my first time on - I don't do anything as stupid as that.

THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE AND PRACTICE IN A EMPTY PARKING LOT

Why didn't the guy at least wear the helmet?

Nah, the first time on a bike is scary for anyone. Starting with baby steps via the MSF would have probably prevented that.NewGuy wrote:While I agree that taking the MSF course before getting on a bike on your own is a good idea, common sense should have told this guy to just let off the throttle.

Can't say too much there. The first time I tried to take off on my nighthawk, I had a hard time letting go of the throttle too (Not sure why the tendency is to hang onto it, no matter what). Fortunately, I was in my yard, and all the bike did was spin about 180 degrees and stall out.common sense should have told this guy to just let off the throttle.
