newbie down

[Kham]

man i gotta tell you what i just witness. lunch time i was outside waiting for a ride to go pickup a sausage. as i stand there by the bike park area, there were 3 guys getting ready to pull out for a ride. this young kid started to pull out on his new R6. as he accerate he went straight for the rear of a park car. do you remember that video of a newbie on an SV or something that went straight for the tree? yea it's like that except this one is about 6 feet. he went down after hitting the car and me and 1 other guy rush to pick the bike off him. he was ok but damn.. neatless to say i moved my bike away from that area.

what i dont get is how the heck did he get the bike to work?

My accident on my SV was similar to that, I just didn't hit anything.

I had gone for 2-3 rides before hand without any trouble.

I had rode it all the way across town before the accident. Went to pull a u-turn and got way too much of that V-twin torque and went down.

The bike definitely has too much low end power & too good throttle response for a total newbie. (Like I have said after about a month it was a great bike)

I bet he hurt his pride more than himself or that new shiny bike!!

Maybe some day I'll do it, but can't you (HE, being the one who just whacked the car) just start off at idle from a parking spot?

I'm not saying up hill at a busy intersection, but like a parking lot:
why the need for throttle?

Reflecting on the clutch thing, I just replaced my first one (in a cage) EVER. third owner 154K ..no material left to make the car move. I made 400K out of another one (I got it at 90K)

My boss fired this guy who twisted the driveshaft off a loaded 6 wheeler truck towing an equipment trailer and a skid steer.

He side stepped the clutch at about 3,000 RPM, at a level 4 way stop sign intersection. SNAP!
