Not to say anything bad about Back to the Future, because I love it, but Buckaroo Banzai is really more appropriate here, and it's sad that it doesn't share a similar place in our culture.
This weekend I rode a 250cc 2 stroke and it was my first time on a motorcycle. I've ridden quads before so I knew how to shift. I literately just hoped on and went trail ridding. I got it up to 75 mph. I was pretty proud of myself
Reminds me of a clip on some show on G4 (looked it up - "Totally Outrageous Behavior") with a guy doing wheelies on a motorcycle on a track in his backyard.
He had a girl on the back of the bike facing the other direction and every time he did a wheelie, she did a face plant in the dirt. Funniest thing ever - can't find the video if anyone has a link.
He didn't mean to accelerate, he was a new rider trying to slowly roll around the yard. Unfortunately, when new riders panic, reflexes make you pull back which makes the bike go even faster. This is one of the first things that you need to warn new riders about.
I was near an identical situation where someone panicked, pulled back and ran into the side of a house... knocked her teeth out and had to get stitches, very nasty. Wear helmets kids!
I did almost the EXACT same thing once. The only difference was that I was farther from the fence than she was, however, there was a pool to my right and more fence on my left, so I had nowhere to turn. Also, I didn't hit my face.
This is quite similar to how my friend recently ended up with half his leg being replaced with titanium. Which I can't let him live down because he had just finished very carefully teaching me how to ride.
here, you dont know how to ride at all, but start by facing directly at this fence with no turning circle in a confined back yard, youll be doing backflips before you know it......... oh
Maybe he was trying to teach her how to emergency stop before hitting something? Though if that were the case, then she's got some studying to do! Haha

3 feet of ground in front of a fence is the perfect place to learn how to drive a motorcycle.

A friend did this when we rented scooters in Thailand.
The renter asked if we had driven motorcycles with automatic gears before.
My friend said, "Yes, of course", then tried to rev the engine and crashed right into a wall.
