    Yet another example of the best choice of gear, and the best choice of bike when you are first learning to ride.

    I would have ran over and checked on the bike first. I think you’ll enjoy this one just as much. New rider, target fixation and hilarity: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pXfM4tbx9nY . This one really has replay value, you just won’t get tired of seeing it.

    I love break.com.

    As a noob who hasn’t taken the course yet I have to wonder what the bike is that he dumps. Is it a 750? Kind of sobering but he was being dumb and he didn’t listen about not releasing the clutch.

    The first bike looks like a CBR of some kind. You can see the honda logo on the side of the gas tank in the beginning. The second vid would be an sv650 as there’s only one exhaust can on the right side.

    I believe its a CBR954RR in the first video. God I hope I have better luck when I finally get my first bike. Of course it won’t be a supersport so that should help a little :D

    I love the fact that his friends are all laughing at him as he’s lying on the pavement. Nice.
    If that was my bike, I’d be choked!

    I got chills up my spine when his friend asked him if he’s ever driven a stick, and answered “no”.

    Anyways, he is destined for one of these………..

    I mean, whose first ride didn’t end up like that. J/k. I don’t think my little ninja would be capable of doing that.

    Drop the clutch while holding the throttle and if you fall off the back and get pulled by the bike, trying to hold on to the throttle – your little ninja will do pretty much the same thing. Granted, it takes a lot more to fall of the back of a ninja (but it looked to me like the guy wasn’t doing anything with his legs to hold onto the bike…)

    I just couldn’t believe his “friends” laughing at him “You’re okay, you’re okay, you’ve just got a little road rash”. Gah, not people I ever want to ride in the same area as, let alone call “friends”.

    The guy looked like he was about to die and all his friends could do is laugh. Guess he should have listened to his friend about the clutch. Or maybe he didn’t know what “drop the clutch” meant. I’m sure he knows now.
