Quite simply no experience.  See how the bike jerks as he lets out the clutch.....the unsure wobble and not in control .  Fellow simply got on a big bike with no experience.   Kit

Yep, that boy definitely needed some quality time with a good instructor long before he straddled something as heavy as that one.

I can't open that youtube site up but if it's the one about the black guy on the Harley....??????... If so its been on here several times, but each time I watch it, I see a fool with more money than good sense, and trying to impress his "bro's" with his riding non-skills......Each time I see it I'm like OH MY GOD !!!!!!! He's back......

This is one of my favorites, it's always a "cool" guy that does the stupidest thing. Listen to the throttle revving before he burns out, definitely another "fool with more money than good sense, and trying to impress his "bro's" with his riding non-skills"

On the first video that started the thread... if you read the caption it says "first ride".  Guy plunked down $39k for an obviously doo dadded out HD and my guess is he didn't even have a license or had never ridden before (hence, "first ride").  Also, if you listen to the engine revs he made all the wrong moves - too bad - but I bet it is happening more everyday with the price of gasoline.  Saw a moped rider out cold at an intersection after a gal backed out of parking into traffic - I bet he was new too - no "eyes" yet.  Hope he was OK in the end.

 

On the other one above - I watched that episode on telivision on the "Pinks" program.  After, the guy was all embarrased and claimed he rides every day and it just got away from him.  Since he is the daily host of the show one might think he'd know better - but agreed - the revs gave him away - caught showing off in the moment - whata dope!!:doh:
