I got this off MCN

" target="_blank">YouTube - Brand new Gixxer crashed

Ouch, that must have hit someones insurance premium pretty heavily. Nice clip though, especially as it was a gixxer, and not a Fazer.

If you had started crying that would be sick. LOL

Scorphonic · 11-15-2007, 01:15 PM

that sort of situation is pretty unusual...to crash it just as your leaving the store...how sick would you feel if that happened. I would go back and complain that the tyres had no grip..even if they are new they should be able to allow you to lean a small bit (not like this guy leaned over an awful lot anyway! )

sad...and very very very FUNNY!!...

sorry but thats funny and unfortunate

I watched it a second time.... and still feel it was his assinine lack of skill.

if he had not let off it would have come back under him... obviously no dirt bike experience

listen to how he gets off the throttle just as it comes loose.

I have had my electraglide loose and by keep the power to it --- it came back under me...

scary --- heck yeah.... but no damage to me or the bike

100% rider error......he should have kept it in "C Mode"

**sportrider** · 11-15-2007, 05:18 PM

guess know one told him about scrubbing in new tires. that had to hurt his pride more then anything else.

Pretty damn embarrasing........at least he was ready for the fall, having full gear and all. LOL.
