I keep waiting for the part where i really give a fk.........


nope, nothing yet..........................

Sorry but not spending half an hour in the . Anyone want to summarise in a sentence?

So....

Bloke in the Trumpian Army posted in Italy can't ride a superbike for fook and crashes a lot. really.. A LOT

Anyhoo, some where along the timeline he is accused of child molestation, rape and other lovely stuffs. Apparently there's no evidence so he cops a plea bargain and gets 2 years and a dishonourable discharge. All because there's no evidence don't forget..

So, other people who have a vested interest in the $$$ generated by the social medial of the crash cretin keep the ruse going by posting as the original buffoon.
Eventually the truth is out and it seems there's a few interlopers while the original Mr. nice guy (no evidence remember) is nowhere to be seen.

I think that's close enough without giving a st

That was a gentle left hand turn.

Fairly common reason for a motorbike crash... a failure to steer.

A bend so gentle it's a straight line.

The sheer lack of basic ability is frightening.

Bejesus, I hope that guy is a Yoga Instructor...

What's the requirement for a bike licence in the US? Seems like a lot of these crashes that come from there are riding well above their ability and then fixating on the outside of a bend when all they need to do is follow basic procedures.

I think it's just a car licence with no restrictions on bike sizes.

Probably against their rights

My understanding is that in most states there's a 'test' of sorts, but it's so basic anyone can pass it. As long as you're over a certain age (14-18yo depending on state) there's no CC restriction. Anyone with a car licence can ride a 125cc.

Guilty

It is wrong, but you're not alone!

Damn! I've accessed the thread again and it's not been what I expected!

[ddom]

There appears to be a list of exemptions, like if you drive a truck?

Difficult to fathom the system, but doesn’t look like any cap on what you can purchase?

Also, is it true you can go out on a bike even with no licence if you are with a designated ‘mate’. As long as he’s within 1/4 mile?

Not only in the US

South Africa permits a rider with zero experience to ride any capacity bike on what is classed as a k53 learners license.
They are issued at the driving centres and last 2 years whereafter they must be renewed but here is no test required.
So, naturally, people buy bikes and ride way beyond their capabilities with the inevitable results.

my first track day at Kyalami resulted in the death of a guy who had bought a brand new Fireblade and included in the sale was a free trackday/tuition day. For reference, he had NEVER ridden a bike previously of any type.
it was a trackday rather than a tuition day and the crash wa, we believed, due to his unfamiliarity with high speed bike riding. It seems (from witnesses behind him) that his survival senses went into lockdown at the end of the high speed back straight. Thereafter, he failed to turn in at Sunset, a really fast entry right, speared across the track, skittled across the gravel track and was impaled in the head by the footpeg after hitting the barriers at the back of the trap.
This was in the second session with his wife and daughter in attendance. wonderful

fking hell.

It was many years back, sometime in the 90's when some journo said 'If a politician ever got on the back of a litre bike, they'd be banned'. I'm totally against unnecessary red tape but there are certain individuals who are just not wired right and need help.

A little reading around and it's pretty much just the off-road portion of a CBT! No street riding assessed at all. Madness.

No wonder they're a rich seam of crashes. They have 5000 motorcycle fatalities per year, in a population of 328m. By comparison we have about 350 in 70m, so they're 3x higher than us despite having a significantly lower population density.

I've ended up with a bit of a schadenfreude obsession with these 'Moto Stars' type youtube channels that are littered with these types of crashes in America.

They generally all follow the same pattern too.
Rider on a bike demonstrating very poor riding skills.
Rider runs wide on the gentlest of turns.
Rider crashes.
Riders friends all revbomb the f@@k out of their bikes directly after the crash (can anyone explain why this is a thing??)
Riders friends turn around and head back t scene of crash.
Riders friends check to make sure crashed riders go pro is still ok.
Crashed riders friends check on crashed rider.
Crashed rider blames crash on gravel / oil / dust / velociraptor on road.
Crashed rider NEVER EVER takes responsibility for crashing.
