Given what I saw, I think choosing no bike would have been more appropriate. It didn't even look like he attempted to turn.
bigtime. given the number of times he stalled, it was pretty obvious he had little to no experience with a bike, which also would mean he didn't know how to turn...
I don't necessarily agree with that. My first few times on my first bike I had a dickens of a time figureing out the clutch release technique. But turning is similar to a bicycle. I didn't have any trouble getting the hang of basic turning. You just have to make sure you're not going too fast for the turn and your skill level. Which this moron obviously was.

My favorite part was how he was teaching himself to ride on a relatively busy street. Mebbe he thought he was Frogger on TeH Motorbikez? Poor R6...
That's a good thing...because what if we were all created like that guy!! :wreck:
Watching that video. Did he expect the bike to turn itself?
It's in Russia. OK. I can not imagine what the bike must have cost him there. So he's got money. Even in Russia, if one has money, one has internet. What videos did this guy watch that led him to believe that the bike would just turn itself?
This is an international forum, and we have members from all over the world. Here in America I see something like that and I think "stupid third-world ignorance." It's unfair, possibly untrue and generally asinine. Doesn't change the fact, though.
Does anyone have any possible insight into that guys thought process? Or was it simply a case of "got no clue and gonna go fast because motorcycles are awesome?"
Before anyone get's pissed, let me just say that I ask the question in all honesty and innocence, and that large amounts of beer may be involved.

If only I spoke Russian, there is obviously a huge demand for my RiderCoach skills.
