    Stupid people?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfD-W82NmE0

    Watch it, make up your own mind.
    There are multiple parts of this video. If u can be bothered...

    Personally I don’t have much sympathy for the rider. I'm sure he was told by numerous people the risks of riding a bike, ESPECIALLY getting a large capacity sport bike with no previous riding experience.

    I bet he wasn’t even wearing full gear.

    From his comment about leaning into corners it would seem that he had maybe ridden cruisers before.... still a hard lesson to learn, I do feel for the guy but a GSXR is hardly a learners bike. Small mistake, big consequence.

    Perhaps someone here could explain the principles of counter steering to him.

    I assume it was a 600, not a 750 or a thou?

    Either way, stupid to start riding on a bike that size.

    That's the price of 'freedom'... atleast in NZ we have a graduated system. Not that having the graduated system will stop poeple from ending up in this situation, but a <250cc bike is a lot more forgiving than a GSXR600K7 on brand new tyres is.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm......

    Looks to me like a headon into a stationary object at 120k. That has got to hurt.

    I feel sad for his kids. Now they dont have a dad, and nobody to take them for a ride, or at least cook them a breakfast to school. He wasnt really thinking much about them when he got on the bike that evening.

    We are all stupid when we are young. Did he deserve all this? FUCK NO, a think a bit of road rash would teach him the business, but he was very unlucky.

    Well, this guy had a friend who egged him on to get the bike in the first place. An experienced rider who hasn't exactly been a good role model. And a motorcycle dealer that delivers in the middle of the night? Not exactly ethical, but then NZ dealers aren't much better some of the time.
