Poor bikes

Wtf is up with the guy in the first video? I feel more bad about the damn bike than the guy. Morons like these mess up prefectly good bikes and should not be allowed near motorcycles. "Is it fast?" Hmm I don't know how is the road rash?

I have no idea what the heck

I have no idea what the heck the first guy was trying to do. (-; I assume it was his bike . or the owner would have kicked his a$$ for trying to red line the engine while standing still. I can't understand why he was revving it up, what his intent was when he crashed . .drunk maybe? Retarded? (-; He may drift past the word stupid.

The second guy probably has ridden. I think his "intent" was to fish tail a bit and show off . . guess his personal bike is not "fast". ((-; Foolish mistake, but does not come close to the dweeb factor of the first jerk. Guy two broke a simple rule . .get a feel for a new machine before you try to show off on it. (-;

I'll give the first guy the benefit of the doubt. I think he was trying to do the "slow race" without really having a clue as to what would happen when he actually let the clutch out...

No way . . for whatever

No way . . for whatever reason he thought that all that revving was something 'cool".. Besides, the "slow race" at events is a cruiser thing. Never seen sport bikes do it. They always have a stunt thing set up.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that he thought that revving the engine made him cool, but he didn't really understand that revving the engine gives a lot of power to the rear wheel if you let the clutch out.

I remember watching that episode. I've always thought that guy was way to cocky and I've got to admit I got a good chuckle out of watching him dump the bike. I was however impressed that when he was talking after the accident, he didn't try to make any excuses. He totally owned up too it, saying he wasn't used to that kind of power because he was used to less powerful cruisers, and it was completely his fault. I actually had a little respect for him after that.
