motorcycles

They look easy to ride, don't they?

This is what the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Beginner Rider Course is for.

O.M.F.G.

"Oh look! A tree! Gee I hope I don't hit it! It's getting closer! Oh, man, would you look at that tree? It's a tree! AAAH! I'M HITTING A TREE!"

The guy in that vid is a complete knob. I hope he gets sh!t for that, for the rest of his life. However short it is, if he keeps trying to ride a motorcycle in shorts & tank-tops.

Oy.

That's a classic target fixation moment right there. I think I've even seen it before :).

Not that the OP would know anything about that.

Wow, learning to ride while wearing shorts and a tank top. Talk about pass/fail....
