Consider this a long running video series of proof that motorcycles are dangerous

Acts of stupidity including.

Crashing sucks. I think I would cry if I ever went down on a new bike.

That video reminds me of when I took a new-ish rider out on my favorite stretch of road. He decided he didn’t want his brand new white 2010 CBR1000RR anymore and proceded to ride off the road mid-corner. Luckily he wasn’t hurt and had insurance, but he quickly gave up riding.

If every new rider are forced to complete 1 trackday before they are granted a street license, new rider crash rate will probably decrease by 90%.

New riders who mind being seen on a ex250/ex500 are usually the ones who don’t mind crashing a brand new 1k bike. If that is not troll logic, I don’t know what is…:lol

i definitely agree with that

i feel as though the majority of new rider crashes are from going too fast into a corner, then they panic and either stand the bike up and run off the road or hit the brakes while leaned over and lowside. after one trackday they would realize that street tires have an incredible amount of grip and you could double your speed in a corner and still make it without crashing.

This is 100% preventable.

That guy clearly never took the MSF course. You simply do not ride in people’s blind spot and “expect” drivers to shoulder check or use signal 100% of the time “before” they change lanes.

Unless you absolutely have no choice, ride clear either in front or behind the car next to you.

In his case it was preventable but often it’s not, especially on the highway.
