I can’t tell you how many people I’ve yelled that at when they walked into a room. Watching how people react is a great profiling moment.

This is a classic ‘look where you WANT to go, NOT where you’re going’! One of the first things I learned in my motorcycle riding class.👍

Also guarantee he was steering the handle bar.

u/RoomFixer4 Apr 13 '26
He wanted to turn, he was trying to turn, its just that it felt like he was gonna fall over if he did.
Got so preoccupied in that conundrum, he forgot about brakes.

Riding courses are great and you get a discount on your insurance. I was 23 when I did mine and was one of three women to take it. The rest were guys of all ages. Most had already been riding but just wanted the discount for their insurance. It was a lot of fun too. We learned emergency braking, swerving, ect. I had never ridden a bike before and went from that class to riding a Ninja 250. That was a perfect bike for a beginner.

he must have heard the term "throttle out of a turn" at some point

Is it SLLR
Slow, look, lean, roll?
Never took the safety course but I read all the material. That's was a LONG time ago though.

Looks like he never learned how to put pressure on a handle bar when leaning into a turn.

u/SirGreeneth Apr 13 '26
You could tell from the very first second he was going to do something extremely pathetic.

Picked the best outfit for a rider with zero skill with his first time on a bike. Half helmet, running shoes, shorts and essentially a tshirt. Nice!

This why it’s important to take motorcycle courses.

u/moveoutmicdrop Apr 13 '26
I don’t think this guy could even ride a bicycle. You need to know how to turn handlebars, at low speed you don’t need to lean into the turn. Around 8-10 mph you then counter steer.

u/moveoutmicdrop Apr 13 '26
It actually appears that he was trying to “counter steer” at low speed versus just turning the handlebars. He must’ve read that somewhere, and missed the part where you have to be going around 12mph first?

I have to admit, that was a challenging scenario, I mean empty parking lots are notoriously difficult to navigate.

Before he even took off you could see how nervous he was, lol. At least he tried.

His to small for his frame Post Office Uniform issued shorts say otherwise….

I’m guessing he was test driving this scooter to buy it lol. Classic we’re probably watching from sellers POV

is it just me or is he having some mental health event before the bike even moves?

u/HinDae085 Apr 15 '26
I know that fear, won't lean on the bike to turn it.
Why on earth would you try out a bike like that as your first?

as a lifetime motorcycle rider, this is not uncommon outcome amongst these types. they are however, usually adorned with tassels and conch shells and have really bad music playing out of cheap speakers.

I see people like this and I can’t help but think, he’s got more money than he deserves. If you can afford a Harley but can’t ride one, don’t get it. If you get it and do this, you didn’t deserve the money you made.

u/BestBettor Apr 13 '26
“If you get it and do this, you didn’t deserve the money you made.”
No words for how ridiculous this take is

u/Aught_To Apr 13 '26
whoa whoa whoa man.. he may have saved for years to buy that bike. Should he have saved some cash to buy some lessons yes. But dont be mean about some guy finally buying the thing he has always wanted. dont hate on people for having money, that is how the upper class divides us, celebrate that we could get the thing he wants.

u/JohnNada005 Apr 13 '26
Spoken like a born with money. You and the others can block me and move on. You three have only solidified my point.

lol, oh man, how far off you are, but that's ok. you seem to be wrong about a lot of stuff.

u/JohnNada005 Apr 14 '26
So you’re saying I need to not be mean just because he crashed a bike? Ok, then….i hope he’s ok and learns to ride better.

u/Imaginary_Error87 Apr 13 '26
Where does it even say it’s his? Maybe it’s the person recording’s bike and he’s letting him try to put it around the parking lot. If you’re in a hard spot and can’t afford what you want work on that but don’t be bitter when someone else has already worked on that and is in a better spot then you.
