Hey this corner turned the other way before!

[EJK]

Pause at 1:48.

How would he have felt at that time? :-(

[tri boy]

Obviously not enough Vodka had been consumed.

[Phreak]

Idiot not wearing protective gear LUCKY it was grass he landed in...

[Daffyd]

Maybe there's no russian word for 'countersteer'

[Hurrie]

its funny how the guy with the camera is so relaxed about the whole thing, most people would be like "oh shit" and run over. but that again he put his mate on an r6 for his first ride so im guessing he expected it to happen and just needed someone to write off the bike

[Gibbo89]

he was coming into that corner so much quicker then when he left it at the start of the vid

Haha what an idiot. Videos like this always crack me up, it's usually stupid Americans who have never ridden a bike before all of a sudden think they're Rossi just because they're on a nice sports bike.

Perhaps it's "stupid americans" because americans are the ones who can and do video every aspect of their lives, and having done so upload it to youtube? No nation has a monopoly on stupidity.

That said, what kind of muppet lends someone an R6 to learn on, on a road, without (clearly) the most basic instructions. Yet another video to be added to the collection on target fixation.

Logic dictates that if you can't ride a bike, then learn on something like a GN250 in a quiet carpark or an XR250 on a quiet offroad trail. Don't try and run before you can walk.

Its was time to take the bike off him at the 43 second mark.

[nosebleed]

Too many facepalms, not enough space.

[specter]

i feel sorry for the bike!
not so much for him though, did seem like the cameraman was in on it though

[sil3nt]

Oddly enough it was this video that got me to give the Mrs a lesson yesterday. She said "is it really that hard to start a bike?". She found out the answer is no. Mind you the R6 probably needs a shit load more revs to get off the line.

Well it does if you insist on starting in sixth gear! :rolleyes:

Better that he never ever got onto that bike, proof that someone even sillier than him was involved! :shifty:
