Almost as good, just a little quicker ;-)

Saw something very similar recently...
Guy #1 buys new crotch rocket.
Guy #2 volunteers to ride it home because
Guy #1 doesn't have a license and he wants
to make sure new bike gets home in one piece.
Guy #2 revs engine, dumps clutch, stalls bike
and drops it.
New bike with no miles on it and a broken mirror,
broken clutch lever and a nice ding in the gas tank.

Couple years ago my brother in law in Ohio (Harley rider) gives in to
his son's pestering about getting him a bike. They pick out a real nice
looking crotch rocket, get the deal going....and the call the insurance
company to find insurance on the bike (for the then 19yo boy) was about
1/2 the cost of the bike for each year they owned it.
Kid got a a 70's vintage Mercury Cougar......

helmet off, traffic was backup of about an hour.

Yepper, it was the very end of June. My big 30day, drivem to grandparrents
vacation.

heh... think I was in the very same parking lot. We went up to say goodbye to
Grandma and touch base with some friends and relatives. Would have been fun to
share a cup of coffee with y'all while parked on the freeway - instead of those
two *really* grumpy Q-tips from Florida

Oh he played tip toes all the way to the point of impact......never did
pick his feet up on the pegs so he could use some of the brakes. Coulda
swore he was accelerating all the way to the crash.

Not all of us need to flat-foot a bike to ride it, dear. ;-)
We were at Hal's HD in Milwaukee one time when they were giving demo
rides on Buells. One guy wearing brandy-new gear saddles up on a shiny
new Buell. He revved the motor, shot out of the parking lot like a
bullet, and crashed across the street in the ditch. There wasn't a lot
of the bodywork left on the bike. Fortunately he wasn't hurt too bad,
just banged up. While we were there, there were 2-3 other people that
wrecked the bikes. Yeesh!

Pretty much how I learned to ride.

Me too. 17 years old, friend's 350 Honda, 20 feet

Funny how the off-camera woman (mom?) warns him to avoid the parked car.
At least he took that advice!
|
|
Thats classic, no helmet, tee shirt and shorts. At least he landed in the
grass.
|
sure...great conciliation for running into the tree.
;-)
|
Oak tree you're in my wayyyyy...
|
Hard to believe someone could actually hit a tree.
Wait a minnit. There was this guy from Kansas riding in Arkansas,
and...
|
a tree jumped out in front of him...
