My previous bike Yamaha FZR 600....red white blue...never down....that's how I like it. I went down on my F2 and it wasn't fun...

Then at work, bunch of friends (but not really friends) ask if he can ride it around the block. Say he been riding few years back in his country & so on....stupid me, trying be a cool bro so say yes, turns out this dude only ridden scooters in China. So his clutch control was off, like how you first learn to drive a stick on a car, kinda like hesitating, bobbing...lost his balance, slow motion...down my bike, scratch my stator cover. All you need to do was hang the clutch and Plant you foot to save...but dude still had his foot on pegs going 5mph, so when he plant his foot, bike was halfway down. I hate small incidents like this, difficult to say how much or should i held him responsible, some scrape on fairing which is eye sore...

 

^^^ which is why MSF is great. They teach you how to ride on clutch control alone in 5 MPH or less through that really narrow lines lol..Bet you won't let anyone else ride her again unless you've seen them ride huh?

 

Yeah, went I sold my FZR, buyer says, "but you've down the bike" Trying telling him parking lot story...

 

Tire shine on the tread? That's my best guess.

 

I think he just grab to front brake like it was clutch...ate it.

 

If this wasn't staged thats the most understanding friend I've ever seen.

Granted he did let the guy ride his bike, but still. very calm and collected hah

 

I think he was calm because from the dented tank I'm guessing it was his stunt bike..Notice the camera guy saying "we need a cage"..lol...even so, he did bust the radiator, which should be enough to make anyone at least a little bit angry, unless of course he has money to blow

 

^^^^"brand new motorcycle"? with all the stunt gear, broken fairings, windscreen being held on with zip ties? that bike has been down lots, and my guess is that the owner doesnt care about it all that much. it's probably salvaged (or stolen) anyway...

 

The gixxer was new, not the other bikes.

 

I only said brand new because thats what the title of the video said..it definetly isn't new though
