Dayum! :laugh: :laugh:
someone posted that on tampasportbikes.com
at first i laughed.
then i thought, that was really unfortunate.
hopefully he/she was ok after the tumble. :)
Yeah, I saw it on katriders and thought I'd share.
It looks like he tries to get up at the end, but kind of falls over again. I bet he hurt himself pretty good.
At least he was wearing gear!
TBH it didnt look like he even hit the car, saw no obvious damage. anyhoo, i guess in hind sight, do that in aprking lots where other vehicles are not present or close by :laugh: :laugh:

ah yes, hindsight 20/20. :laugh: In this case it seems like common sense though... :dunno_white:
I couldn't see any damage to the car either.
lucky fücker lol
(http://members.cox.net/pimpbot9000/roflcopter.gif) lowsides an sv650 between a repsol, and a parked car, not an apparent scratch to either one O0
the rofl copter! That video makes me laugh every time I watch it.
hey, that Repsol looks just like the one Dr. House rides. :thumb:
I would bet that he hit the wheel/tire of the car and thats what stopped him. Still a lucky bastard not to damage either one.

That had to have been where he hit
I love YOU
or he hit teh curb :dunno_white:
...there appears to be a few pieces parts laying on the ground there--though those are probably all his own! Man did I ever cringe when I saw that thing start to take off with him...

I couldn't remember where I posted that, you know I'm just messing around. Whatever it takes, just get yourself on two wheels!!! :thumb:
Letting off the gas would have been nice. What a moron :dunno_white:
he did not seem in any hurry to help out eather
I know what that is like. My brother did that with his first bike. You let out the clutch and your mind freezes up. It's more the other more experienced riders fault really. They should have taught him better. or started him in a straight line, not facing parked cars. duh.
My bros. bike hit my car and the front wheel bold tore into my car like a can opener. He felt sooooo freaking bad.

I know it would have been beneficial to me to have it firmly planted in my mind that the best way to cut the power that's getting you into trouble (when starting) is to grab the clutch and brakes. Backing off the throttle when you screw up just throws you off balance when engine breaking occurs. Starting in a straight line far away from traffic and parked cars would have helped a bunch too! I know many people (myself included) whose first experience trying to turn the bike meant not turning at all. My buddy and I got our first motorcycles the same day and took our first rides a day apart. Despite the fact that he TOLD me he shot straight across the road into the grass on his first ride, I managed to make the same mistake when I took mine. Thankfully it wasn't into anybody's front yard!
I still find his Flintstone-esque breaking efforts while holding the throttle open to be humorous though.
Granted, I'm still learning myself, and can't really afford to make fun of ANYBODY.
the first time you do anything that you haven't done before is always an experience. hopefully a useful learning experience. especially in this case. :thumb:
