Well, at least he is not dead or killed anyone; Which could easily have happened.

If it’s Queensbury it’s likely Sportline. I’m surprised they sold it and let him ride away without having an endorsement.

Crashing in a turn alone and getting slammed by a truck are way different.
Fresh tires, no experience, cold tires at that, salty dirty roads… Yup.

I’ll raise the stakes, I’ll say it was a black Gixxer 600 to 750 wearing only a helmet as protective gear possible an Icon or some other cheaper helmet.

Wasn’t that because he couldn’t negotiate the turn?

Yeah it probably was sportline… i bought my bike there thought it was a great dealership.
I also heard the guy from Spitzies got it right out of the parking lot and he was supposedly not a new rider… from what i heard.
