Yes... This is funny. Kind of a shame when bad things happen to perfectly innocent rides like that tho...

LAXRK
It is aclassic example of not knowing how to countersteer. If you will notice he was turning away from the car and it sent himstraight into it.All he had to do was steer towards the car and he would have gone the the other way. Itabsolutely amazes me how many people are out there riding motorcycels and do not know how to steer them.
Youre kidding right? In slow speed like this counterstering is useless, If he had steered toward the car he would have hit it square rather than glaced off as he did. His problem was target fixation, he kept looking at the car when he should have been looking where he wanted to go. That and the fact he was just a dumb *** who can't ride, like a lot of guys and girls, plenty of dollars but little cents.

Yea your right, after watching it a few times I see the little burn out is what really screwed him up. I thought at first glance he just took off and wasn't able to change his angle quick enough.

I saw this video a year or so ago and have pretty much the same reaction today. It's SAD when anyone goes down, stupid or not.

I've heard said that there are only two types of riders.
Those that have been down
and those that are going down.
I guess this guy wanted to get it out of the way early.
He should have made the decision to do that on a cheaper scoot!!! Poor bike.

Gubrunner I agree that he should have looked away. But this only aids in proof of my favorite saying You can't fix stupid.
