That's funny. Almost makes you sick to see an expensive bike wrecked like that, though.

Obviously, he doesn't know how to ride a bike.

Well he's got that twisty throttle thing down pat. That's enough to get ya started, right?

It's all in the wrist.

Didn't see any humor in it. Felt sorry for the guy. Do we know if he survived? Won't be to funny now if he died would it?

I'm thinking that perhaps the big difference between the guy's riding ability, and his ego was where the humor comes in.

Accidents can happen to any of us, no matter how experienced we are. But if I put on a pair of racing striped white pants, then brag about how much money my bike costs, then get on with the intention of looking good for the camera and proceed to drive right into a car for no reason at all.....................

I'll forgive everyone for laughing at me.

Some of you may have seen my "Nomad Trials Game" posts. That is also showing off for the camera, and a challenge that I enjoy. If I ever wreck doing it, I'll expect some sympathy from all of you, along with a lot of laughing. I will deserve it, and won't complain.

While it may not be politically correct to find humor in it, it is humorous to me :)

My thoughts exactly. I don't want to see anybody, no matter how buffoonish, get hurt. But you are right, this guy "talks the talk" but can't "walk the walk".

Now had this guy been driving through the parking lot, and the car backed out of the parking place in front of him, that would be a different story altogether, and definitely not funny.

I find it d@mn hard to feel sorry for this guy. Oh, If I'd have been there I'd have tried to help him, called an ambulance, that kind of stuff.

But inside I'd still be tellin' myself "What a maroooon!"

Moron indeed, I think the bike and car suffered most of the damage.
