I have just watched this video. A typical example of a person with absolutely no bike experience
who wanted to start learning on a Blade…:w00t::hehe:
This clip always makes me laugh, ‘JOOOOHN!!!’
eeediots!
I knew he was in trouble at “did you ever drive a stick before? No?” xD
DON’T DO IT JOHN…NO…YOU’RE A MORON…LET GO OF THAT THROTTLE…LET GO OF THAT THROTTLE.
NOOOOOOOO…BAM
PS. Love the music too and his mates taking the **** after…That guy that couldn’t stop laughing cracked me up
I can’t help think that John’s mate, the one who actually owns the blade, is a bigger moron than John for letting John use his blade for his first lesson in how to ride a motorcycle, DUMBASS!!!
Although if he was the guy in the t-shirt laughing afterwards he didn’t seem to concerned about his bike? :pinch:
First I thought it was the passenger who got owned, but… no.
:w00t::hehe:
The bike had a cage on it (stunt bike), so wouldn’t be too badly damaged.
hahahahahaha classic reminds me of my first ever attempt on a bike…only myself to blame tho…I am totally self taught (and it shows ) saw my rear so many times Im suprised the skin grew back on leg after all the exhaust burns. PMSL good clip
Have to admit that my first time on a bike wasn’t too dissimilar. 250cc sports. Early 20s. 2 minute lesson from a mate. Didnt’ even have a helmet on (idiot!). No warning as to how quickly you can go from zero to hero. Twisted the throttle to full and unsurprisingly didn’t have the nouse/experience/training to be able to deal with the inevitable consequences and as the bike took off out of my control I took the quickest escape route I could think of and jumped off it and left the bike go its own way. :w00t:
However, was definitely humbled by the experienced and gained respect for the machine and resolved there and then to one day learn to ride properly.
Fortunately it was pre-You Tube so my embarrassment was mostly private (until now).
Think most of us have had a simular sort of experience in our early days of riding ??
I can remember mine … While trying to start my FS1E Yamaha. running along beside it, i decided to let the clutch out, (not knowing that i should then jump onto the seat) the bike screamed into life sounding like a tortured hairdryer, but with suffucient power to drag me along beside it, hanging on for dear life.
Needless to say, my trip was short, and after crashing through someones privates, i came to rest amongst the pergonnias, half sprawned on the front lawn, winded, and feeling kinda stoopid.
Here endeth the lesson :)
If I was crashing through someone’s privates I’d hope to come to rest against something more interesting than pergonias. Would definitely be out of breath though! ;)
That’s what Ithought…not even driven a manual car and then on a blade…ugh!!!
I still remember the first time I took my first “proper” bike off the stand. Sitting astride it, feeling the weight, I thought to myself “whoa… this is not a toy”.
I then pulled out into North London traffic, being blown away how fast I was surging forward compared to how little I was giving it. OMG 650CC POWER!!!
I try to remember that fear and that respect sometimes, I think it’ll make me live longer
Enough internet ********, the sun is out, I’m off to the Black Forest
I remember being intimidated by the prospect of having to tame the mighty CB500 when I was learning
But the fact is - anyone can make a tit of themselves, however experienced, on a motorbike of whatever power if they are not paying attention - it’s in the nature of being on only two wheels.
haha seen it before but still so funny! joooooooohnnnnnnnnn
Here’s another one:

Someone was asking about how to pull wheelies today…
It seems that learning to ride a bike is something that is best not taut by your biker mates on one of their 1000s.
