[QUOTE="fastersilverfjr, post: 24894, member: 682"] I guy who started riding a few years ago started on a Suzuki 650 Savage. At first, he would not lean in a turn. Too strange and too different from driving a car. One of his first rides he did not lean in a slow speed turn and could not make the turn without leaning. He panicked and hit the front brake. The motion of him trying to apply the front brake made him open the throttle. His bike jumped forward with the throttle open. He hit the curb, poped over the curve, his rear wheel spun in the grass/dirt and spun his bike around in a semi-donut. He then let go of the throttle and the bike dropped. This sounds a lot like what could have happened to this kid. Only his back wheel did not spin on the grass and accelerated him and the bike forward into and through a fence. Like was said before, he probably would have simply crashed on the grass if the fence and tree hadn't been there. With gas prices going up, we will see a lot more people killing themselves as first time riders. Just watch... [/QUOTE]
