Lol! A couple of things. First, you have to learn to ride a bike before you actually ride one. Second, if your a first time rider, NEVER buy a new bike, or even a pricey used one. Buy a decent beater. Because, as you can see, you will dump it. Most new riders dump their first bike. Hopefully there wasn't too much damage.
@stufrost45837 жыл бұрын
approximately 46 second in this clip look at his left hand, it isn't controlling the clutch, no clutch control in 1st basically means no bike control, I don't think the bike is to big he can clearly get his feet flat on the floor, stupid handlebars don't help, I crashed my brothers dirt bike aged 14, ("let the clutch out") he told me , so I did at about 7thousand rpm. one big out of control wheelie later his bike is hanging from a wire mesh fence. that was my first ride 35 years ago, still riding and fucking loving it, I soon learned clutch control, currently on gsxr1000k5. shame mobile phones weren't around then you tube would have loved it.
