It can be done. I bought my first bike (‘17 Heritage Classic) in March of 2020 at the tender age of 69. I’ve dropped the bike and had some mishaps but none at speed. I’ve put 20,000 miles on the bike in four years. We did a 13 day 2800 mile trip last August. This is not to brag but to illustrate that with proper training, practice, and good health, it can be done. Absolutely love riding…
Keep us posted, learning to ride late in life seems risky to me. Been riding my entire life and still feel luck with the various close calls I’ve had. Shit happens fast.
My comment was aimed at the guy in the video. I’ve been riding since teen age. I see way too many unhealthy, overweight and older people trying to look like an image they idolize.
Panicked and stopped countersteering and tried to turn the bars like a car. It won’t work. All he had to do is bear down on that inside bar. Whenever you see a bike stand up and drive straight off the corner they are not countersteering.
Plenty of easy reasons (skills, gear, etc.) to criticize the rider in the accident, so I won't pile on. But I have to say I was honestly impressed how the camera rider calmly and quickly pulled off a u-turn on that two-lane road. Lots of reasons that would have been tough for many to do in that situation and on that bike.
On roads like that, I don't like the staggered line they were in. Things happen where you may need the entire lane to evade it. He did not have to be over there close to the gravel.
Spend some time on the weekends in a roundabout. Learn to lean at slow speeds. Then gradually increase the speed. Ride every day… learn the basics of corners at 45… you have to learn
Typical. 3 people arriving at the scene with the deer in the headlight look. Support rider should have been yelling for one of them to call 911 immediately.
You suggesting that he lean the bike shows you know just about as much about the dynamics of motorcycle handling as he does. You do NOT lean a motorcycle to turn it. A motorcycle leans because of the counter-steering input which is the only way a motorcycle will turn.
@@X1MIKE77 I know how to turn, lean, counter steer, whatever you want to call it. Understand wobble and weave, contact patch, squat, thrust angle, any other motorcycle gobbledy-gook you want to throw at me. Been riding for 50 fuckin years! The only thing you've got going for you is internet arrogance, So Get Lost!!!
@@X1MIKE77you absolutely lean it 😂 look at any professional rider, they lean all the way to the side to get the contact patch facing away from them to get cornering grip. Learn to ride before saying stuff like that!
@@tacticalidiot175 tell me you have no concept of how a motorcycle turns without telling me you have no concept of how a motorcycle turns. I can ride down the road in a straight line with the bike leaned at 45 degrees. Why is that? It’s because I’m not counter-steering. If you want to turn left, push the left handlebar. If the bike is leaned over more in a corner it’s because the rider (of which you may be one day) is pushing harder on the inside bar. A motorcycle does not turn by leaning. Leaning is a byproduct of counter-steering.
@@X1MIKE77 bro watched a fortnine video and came back acting like he's a physicist 😭 quit acting like you understand anything and realize no lean = no turn. No turn with no lean, no lean with no turn. Simple. Ride a bicycle.
I've been riding and doing track days with sport bikes for decades. Cruisers with crash bars like that scare me; they're nice for picking a bike up that fell over, but if they're too big they prevent lean angle sufficient to take corners at speed. This guy I think just panicked and target fixated, but I never want to ride anything that limits my ability to lean into the turn. Hopefully he was okay! High-siding and hitting his back and head on the ground like that must have been awful. 😢 EDIT: Looking closer, I don't think he even had crash bars - just total panic and arms locked up.

It's pretty obvious he's a beginner rider fallowing the leader while the other guy is keeping an eye on you. I've ridden dirt bike for 30+years, race them a got to, the one thing that I've told new riders is," you don't know how to ride until you learn how to wreck, and preferably without hurting yourself." I don't ride the dirt bike much anymore, but I have been riding motorcycles every year since 1961. That makes it 63 years riding motorcycles. So during these past few years I've been learning how not to cash, so far so good. To the young man in this video, it might be the hardest thing you'll ever do, but you will need to get back on your bike and ride. Hope you were not injured to badly, as we all could see how hard you hit the pavement during your Cash. May the Good Lord watch over you always.
That guy was an accident waiting to happen, riding way too close to the edge, hardly leaning the bike at all. Probably didn't even see the road sign at the .06 mark (curvy road ahead). Most likely, he didn't have a license either. But hey, he looked cool crashing on his Harley...

Those bike don’t turn well, they don’t stop well and they have limited lean ability. It looks like he had one of those super wide back tire, they handle very differently.

Not to criticise the riders skills but this is exactly why I’d never buy a Harley, they’re just not built to take corners, let alone when you fek it up !!! Every road “no matter how straight” will have a corner somewhere.😉
@@brucebr1037 False! They do save lives as It has saved mine by letting idiots know I’m there and them not just switching lanes without a signal or looking and many other occasions.
@@BlueZombieMorphs Loud pipes don''t save lives but it's a great excuse to make your bike sound cool. Defensive driving and knowing your surroundings saves lives. Same with people who think you need a bike bigger then 250cc's to ride an interstate highway. Nobody hardly ever speeds out of a situation you either swerve or brake. We convince ourselves of these silly notions to have what we want.
Not everyone should be riding
Somebody needed to be riding with riding gear
At least he didn’t have any of that pesky protective riding gear on while he was hugging the outside corner.
Helmet? Protective clothing? Skills? Get a 125cc and practice a bit before buying a 800 lb hawg.

Not the slightest clue how to ride a motorcycle. He learned the hard way
Panicked and stopped countersteering and tried to turn the bars like a car. It won’t work. All he had to do is bear down on that inside bar. Whenever you see a bike stand up and drive straight off the corner they are not countersteering.
To mention nothing of dropping his leg.
Countersteering is the FIRST thing every motorcyclist should learn, and learn to consciously practice it all the time. Make it a reflex.
@twinstickwizard3941 you mean push on that inside bar, right?
We're trying to counter steer. I feel like, 'bearing down' is pulling on it ...
Common theme with Harley crashes. A bend in the road....................
.....................a slight bend in the road..................
Your bike goes where you’re looking
A very good point. I was a ski instructor at one time and that’s the second thing I tell newbies.

Get a 250 rebel....learn some stuff.
Ewww, no can do...weight limit...remember, safety first.
Had all his protective gear on didn't he?
At least he wasn't wearing shorts like some dasies.
On roads like that, I don't like the staggered line they were in. Things happen where you may need the entire lane to evade it. He did not have to be over there close to the gravel.
Good point. Single file better for curvy roads and inexperienced riders.

Amazing, the slightest bend and he falls off, how he managed to achieve this is a miacle in its own right.
I'm not going to criticize him. But wow that looked pretty bad. Hope he is ok.
Looks like a good tourist promotional film for South Dakota!
Its feels sooo good to ride in just a tshirt and jeans. Until ya wreck.
Facts😭 and with a .08 alcohol level
Oh man ! Ouch ! But learn to ride Brother.
I'm guessing not a very experienced rider - seemed like a pretty newbie mistake.
Typical. 3 people arriving at the scene with the deer in the headlight look. Support rider should have been yelling for one of them to call 911 immediately.
When crash bars drag, they earn their name
Didn't even try to lean the bike. Just rode straight off the road. Painful lesson.

How long does it take to stop and do a u-turn? Far out...

You can tell a Squid with the foot down save
That is not a crash. That is stupid
No offense intended but that was caused by a basic and nearly complete lack of understanding how to ride a motorcycle. Hope he’s ok.
Had to “lay ‘er down”.

Leave me out of this! LOL But I always wear a helmet.
Wear a helmet regardless of your ride.
Way too fast for his skill of riding.
Was he drunk n stupid or what..
