We went on a pretty big group ride today and this noob was acting dumb and ended up getting his ass tangled up in a barbed wire fence...pretty much totaled the bike too...

Video is on my web site - http://people.tamu.edu/~jmh7526/ - Go to pictures and it's about half way down "The Forest" 10/22/2004

Also, please sign my guest book while you are there - I want to see how full I can get it and where everyone is from.

Enjoy!

Good Vid bro i do the same thing when i ride with people i dont know if they seem sketchy at all in turns or theyre trying wheelies in a pack i back off.Good call on your part i had a guy almost take me out trying to corner hard on a katana he just bought needless to say later that day he lost it in a long sweeper he was ok but the Kan was toast.

Thanks for the comments guys! Glad you enjoyed the vid. I have no idea what he was trying to do, but my guess is he really wanted to get through that corner fast, but couldn't commit. He would have been fine if he didn't stand the bike up, but instead just scrape the pegs and stick it...He def needs the MSF course.

Oh yeah - WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPP! Aggies ROCK. '03.

Obviuosly NO and i stress NO riding experience at all, accelerating into a corner when he was shaky in that first corner which didn't look as sharp, reminds me of a couple of newbies I rode with this year and 4 of them crashed. Dunno what to tell these guys because they see others doing stuffand think hey that's the same bike as mine so I can do thatand PRESTO CRAAAAASSSSHHHH! DUMBASSES!

The guy told me it was his first STREET bike, I told him he had a nice bike before we took off, man I feel like I jynxed him. I hate leading a group and have this happen, I feel like I have the blood of noods on my hands.. anyone CS guys ride on sunday Im pretty sure time 12:30 at sonic but not 100 percent positive let me know if u wanna come

well alot of ppl thought so cause i finally found out about the wreck came back and was given a cell phone with the paramedics on the line so i told them where we were. The guy seems bruised but fine bike started after a while nothing major. Damn I was just talking to the guy on the green zx-10 who crashed too that day, damn I really feel bad now.

First impression of this guy kinda seems like he watched a couple races on Speed network, decided to buy a bike, and that was his first ride. I can't even begin to imagine why he'd be accellerating into a corner, let alone with a huge pack of bikes right in front of him.

My thoughts excatly

That bike isnt totaled thats just a "scratch", you guys are wussies. When we wreck out here, better pick your bike up and RIDE lol. But I know what you mean when you ride in big groups, your bound to have 2-3 guys go down. Ive been on a ride once with about 20 wrecks lol! A lot of noobs target fixate

It sucks that he went down. Knowing that he was a noob, he should have been up front setting the pace. Putting a new rider in the middle or end of a pack of more experienced riders is a disaster waiting to happen. I am sure the guy feels dumb enough without being on an internet video with the commentary.

he definitely could have held that line had he just know what to do. was he okay?

That sux but this is the only way a

learns. I would disagree with the put the rook in the front. I don't want to be behind a person doesn't know what to do in a easy turn much less freak out and hit the brakes or accelurate for no known reason!!!
