So I cant catch a break!!! I get home from work today and am hangingout with my brother, sister and kids. My brother decides with alittle coaxing from me to start learning how to ride a motorcycle. He did really well for a first time and not even understanding the concept of manual shifting. So he says hes done and gets off my bike. My sister wants togo next. And me being an idiot doesnt even think that "hey, maybe my 105lb sister might not be able to keep my 600cc bike stable." So I walk her thru the process of getting it rolling. She started off great but as ahe slowed down she couldnt hold the bike up and I was about 10ft away. She got nervous and in an attempt to keep her balance as she tippedto the left she grabs the throttle, gets scared by the engine an dumps the clutch. I am right at the handlebars as the bike jumps up on one wheel and takes off with her on it. Like an idiot I tried to grab the seat and hit the killswitch on the bar but missed got pulled by the bike and dropped on my face. She took off toward the trees, Im unconcious on the ground, and she I guess was screaming. My brother said she just basically jumped from it and because she wasnt moving too fast the bike stalled and fell over. She bruised her leg up which I feel terrible about and I have a mild concussion from all of it. The bike did alright. Just the mirror broke on the driverside but I mean seriously when is my luck finally gonna change????

I've met 100lb girls that could ride a 600cc better than every s.q.u.i.d. on the road. That being said they started much smaller and worked their way up. Next time start on a moped, then a scooter, then maybe an old 125cc.

As long as your o.k. and lil sis learned to respect (not completely fear) those bikes it'll be alright in the end.

On another note seen the same thing with two idiots on a FL beach. End result hydrolocked motor
