I WRECKED MY HARLEY ON THE FIRST RIDE! SMH 

"Man, that sun is so bright, I can't see where I'm going...I better speed up".

That guy helping out is the real deal. The world needs more people like him.

That Dude that stopped and helped was a true Goat, mad respect.

Being humbled is the best experience any rider can get. BIG respect for having the integrity to post this

I see the problem. You are exceeding the speed limit and your skill level. Glad you were not hurt.

Respect to the dude for being humble enough to post this. It’s a little painful, and a little embarrassing, and frustrating as hell, but this is a total first person POV into a bad day. Thanks again man, good real life situation type content.

@EverythingsRegular I'm a retired Motor Man "Motorcycle Officer" here's two Motor Man tequniques and one piece of advice that will save your life when riding. #1) When turning at a speed above 19mph push on the handle bar in the direction you want to go, (some agencies teach 15mph) never try to turn the handlebar above 19mph. #2) Never look at an object you're trying to avoid, always look at the spot you want to go to. (WHEREVER YOUR EYES ARE IS WHERE YOU'RE SUBCONSCIOUSLY STEARING) And the one piece of advice is respect speed (SPEED KILLS) Everybody thinks his or her ability has mastered speed until (SPEED WINS) And (SPEED ALWAYS WINS) Glad you're ok 👍

5:18 Oh man, when he dragged it over the curb on the undamaged side 😭

I've been riding bikes for 40 years and one of the truest things I ever heard was its not speed that kills, its lack of respect for it. Glad you're OK.

Huge respect to you for posting your experience with a wreck that was 100% preventable. You provided a teachable moment for many people....

It's your transparency that speaks volumes about your character.

This is the most ridiculous crash I’ve seen in a long time. Glad you’re ok. Whatcha hauling ass on roads you’re not familiar with? Sun in your eyes on roads you know is not too bad. Straight speeding down road and through a round about. SMH!

While everyone is bashing you for crashing I respect the fact you even posted this. Most people hide their downfalls. You kept it 💯, much respect.

"the sun was in my eyes" translation - I was driving to fast

Dude I feel so bad for you. I've been blinded by the sun before but I was lucky and didn't hit a curb. I feel all choked up, just watching this and the kind man that stopped to help you is just heart warming. I heard your say you're okay but then next day know for sure if you've strained or cracked a bone. Looking at your damaged bike brought tears to my eyes. When you got home and showed us the broken wheel and your were riding with a flat front tire I was amazed your could even ride with a flat tire, you've got to be strong to control it. All of us who have been riding for a long time have gone through a crash and we know just how you feel, I've been down and got pretty messed up the last time, broken hip, ribs, collar bone and wrist, took me a year to walk again, surprisingly the bike was barely damaged. Stay safe brother. It's been over a year now, I just saw your video today, just wondering if you had and injuries and if you're okay? Did you fix the bike? I'm going to go and look at your videos, maybe I'll see how it all turned out. I'm glad you're okay bro, be carful out there bro.

This right here is a teaching tool for many many many others. Respect your bike and respect your speed!!!

I love the Good Samaritan. He was sincere and genuine. Not just him though, all of them

I like the way you treated people after your crash. People show their true character in these situations.

Thanks for posting the full video, every dude here has been in a messed up situation caused by nothing more than our own actions.. and it’s nice to be able to learn from others mistakes after seeing the video, especially the whole video. Glad you’re ok!

Cannot believe how many people are checking on your well-being, soo nice to see that!! When stuff happens to me, I'm in the middle of nowhere and its hours before I even see anybody at all...

Dude, I was scared for you. You were going dangerously too fast in that residential area. Take it easy. Glad you're OK.

To the gentleman who help you, we need more ppl like you in the world my friend. Respect ✊. I’m glad you okay! God keep you safe

"The good news is that you know what you're doing, the bad news is you've got something to do." That's a genuinely good fella right there.

Fact that all those ppl stop to help you is a testament that there are still good ppl

Now kids, did we notice the riding style before and after the crash? Always respect the bike!

I dunno what hurt more, watching you crash or watching you drag that bike along the ground. Glad your ok.

Hey, my man! Glad you're okay and lived to tell the tale. You cool if I share this to my platforms? I'll fully credit you for whatever is used. Lmk and be safe!

My guy...we've all had those "Ohh Shit" moments on a bike...It's not IF it's WHEN! Mad props to you for uploading, all the while knowing people where going to comment about how fast you were driving and whatever.. Dude..It's a lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing. We all need to slow down a little and double check. Mad props to the dude that stopped. Glad you're ok brother! Keep the rubber down my friend!

You just can't stay straight when the road turns.

First of all, glad you're well. I've been riding HD's since 1989. Now my son rides with me for 4 years. Never went down. I tribute that to respecting the motorcycle. That's the sweet spot between fear and confidence. I remember gaining this from an Easy Rider magazine from the 80s. 90 something year old dude that had been riding for about 70 years said something that I never forgot. "Always ride to the COMFORT limit, never beyond". I knew you were pushing it from the beginning. I can tell because you wanted to keep pushing it over the curb instead of finding the path of least resistance to get it back on the street. Take your time, be patient, LIVE TO RIDE ANOTHER DAY!!

God bless you man, glad your safe it could of been a lot worse but you took it on the chin kept your head up and kept it moving like a boss. Fix her up get back on it and keep riding 💪🏾

My initial comment was, just being reckless and going too fast. After a couple of minutes that changed to real appreciation in you sharing how it all goes wrong real fast. Glad you weren't hurt.

That guy was literally your guardian angel checking on you...crazy how calm / helpful he was!

"I went right through the thing, I didn't see, the sun was in my eye..." ??? Uhhhh, dude.... SLOWWW DOWWWWNN!!!

glad your ok and thank you for sharing much respect

It don't matter what went wrong it's super cool that you were humble enough to post this bro. I've laid down 3 times and same deal just stupid things I could have done different but I was mostly embarrassed. People were cool trying to help. No worries man glad youre okay stay cool

I do want to take notice to all of the kind people who stopped and offered to help you in any way, and the first man was like a Father helping his son and he took notice to Covid with a mask on. Human kindness should always excite us as humans and this vid shows that if he had been seriously injured many strangers would have been there to help him which we should ALL! do for each other.

i thank god it was grass and not asphalt. slow down brother god bless you

I started off on dirt-bikes as a 6yr old and then graduated to motorcycles. The most important lesson my dad ever taught me that still rings true today and that I can credit with saving my life a few times, is "never speed down unfamiliar trail'. Glad you are ok my guy. Pay attention. There are rarely 2nd chances on motorcycles..

Man just here to say that man was a god send. Complete stranger and was solely focused on making sure you were okay first and foremost. That’s a special person for sure

That helping guy deserves a medal. The self-evident nature of providing assistance without disinterest is also expected of you with regard to careful driving.

Now it’s only a matter of time for Dan Dan the fireman to find your video.

Damn I saw this clip a while back on ig I ain’t know this was you , you real for still posting respect

Those people who stopped to check and offer help was great. Saying I'm ok and passing up on help not so good. But shock embarrassment pride got in the way. Glad you didn't get seriously hurt the bike can be fixed go carefully fella!

Props to everyone that stopped to help you!

I know the exact feeling of your pride being crushed after you wreck and it’s your fault 100%… everyone stopping to check on you haha all you want to do is get the bike up and get at least a block away from the crash site and sit down and collect yourself in peace 🤣 dragging the bike over the curb had me dying lmao

I see all the comments saying." Respect bro for putting your failures and embarrassments" on YT, ppl. Bro don't care about how embarrassing,. All he wants is the "likes" . He's here for the thumbs up buttons 😂 lol

Hey brother.. just came across your channel with this crazy video.. btw, my respect for you for posting it.. how are you doing 2 years after that? ✌🏼😎

It's the brotherhood of being a biker. I myself am in my truck find myself watching out for my other bikers. I tell those that are driving me around when I am not driving to watch for bikers. Will always help a brother/sister in need.

I see a squid!!! Sneakers, no gear other than gloves, riding wrecklessly, riding above skill level.

I’m so glad I’m starting on a 200 lb bike, I laid mine down the first day when I turned onto a gravel driveway and I hit the front breaks instead of just feathering the back. My big toe was ringing and so I bought a pair of moto boots and I wish I had filmed it because a lot of people don’t realize how easy it is to slip on grass and gravel but I learned my lesson. Gear up, respect the speed and pay attention always.

When you fall like that on the bike when it's on it's side, to lift it up, put your back to the seat and squat, and use your legs to lift the bike up. I'm glad you're okay!💯

i'm glad there was grass! God watching over you bruh.

Glad to see you are ok 💯💯

Glad to see so many ppl stopping to offer you help. Youre lucky bro.

Material things are replaceable as we know but most importantly, you’re ok and you returned home to your family in one piece. Praises to the most high.

Bruh, seriously you were riding above your head. You are damn lucky.

Glad you survived brother! It doesn't matter how long a rider has ridden, or how skilled or qualified they are, bikers of wisdom will know that your whole world can change in a heartbeat. Sun in your eyes, an animal running into the road, or just a second too long looking in the mirrors, when shit comes calling it doesn't give much warning! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing mate. Sharing mistakes and being upfront about them help the rest of us do some mental calcs ahead of time what we'd do in a similar situation.

I’ve had a few close calls with the sun in my eye, but not going 20-30mph over the speed limit 😂

I don’t comment on RU-vid but I had to come drop a word to say big up to that dude that helped. He was so damn helpful and genuine. I literally gave an audible: “Awwww” while he was helping. We need more of these kind of people, man. Sorry about what happened though. Glad you’re ok. Edit: I posted this while I was still watching. As I’m watching more. I need to live here, so many helpful people. Damn.

Oh man! That is tough! Take it easy man. Thanks for sharing the video.

Glad your safe man, hope you learned your lesson

This is what riding faster than your skill level is like 1 on 1 !!

Glad you are alright, bro. Don't blame the shield or the sun though. You were driving too fast , and you know it. I ride an Ultra with same wind screen. Don't have a problem because you are tall enough to look over it.

Subbed. I appreciate your honesty and humility n

Glad you’re ok man. Nice people around too to help and checking up on you.

First Time that old man was called "Dawg" glad you're ok.

My brother be careful out there, Sunlight can be a killer. Thank God for that man, the angel who came to watch over you!!! We live and we learn, hopefully to ride another day!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Americans helping each other ❤ what a beautiful thing!

So many good people around checking on you it’s good to know there still good people that exist glad your okay dude

This reminds me of the guy who drove through the middle of the Sahara desert & crashed into the only cactus tree in a fifty mile radius.

The best part of this video is the people stopping by asking if he was ok... while offering help. Definitely a nice neighborhood... And I'm glad you're ok...

Bro u were flyin.. dont ever forget this lesson

Best video yet 😂😂

It’s good to see that a lot of good samaritans offering help. Shit happens man just gotta be careful

When the sun is in my eyes I SLOW DOWN!!!

Wow that was fascinating. The kindness complete strangers stopping to check on you, bloody marvellous!

God bless ya bro! Glad you’re alright!

Can we talk about all the wonderful people that live in that neighborhood. That was amazing. The first gentlemen especially. "Good news is you know what you're doing. Bad news is you have something to do." Love it. Props to everybody and props to you for posting your mistakes. That's how we learn.

I love the fact of how people care when seeing someone in distress. It’s far from what the press tries to depict. Glad you are ok. Makes me wonder if I should change my mind about getting back into motorcycles

Its awesome that people are not dismissive about this and are genuinely helpful. Riding above your level is a very dangerous thing to do. Take some classes dude. Dont die on a motorcycle.

That man was an angel. The right person there for you at the right time.

Solid dude who stopped and helped you out.

God I felt that moment when you were moving the bike yourself, I feel like I’ve been there, adrenaline, wanting to get bike up before another person drives by watching me struggle to move it, wanting to just flip shit... glad you made it out tho

Damn that was a close call. I'm surprised you made it home on that rim. Glad you're ok.

glad you came out of that ok. thanks for posting that for all of us new riders

The crash wasn’t funny , but the way he was dragging the bike had me in tears 😭 😂

Damn you know you in a good neighborhood when the white folks are stopping to help and seem really concerned about a Blackman down on a Harley. It actually was a beautiful thing to see. That dude stopped got out his suv and stayed to make sure a broth was okay. Gotta salute them ✊🏿

its apart of the game big dawg. heavy breathing, adrenaline kicking in...oh yeah true riders have been there. its the smallest things that get us. I'm glad you're straight big dawg. hold it down. 💪💪💪💪💪

I appreiciate you showing your honesty ,lots of lessons here ,i know that feeling of everything is perfect one minute ,nekminut everything is upsidedown

The dragging part had me dying. I almost had a legit heart attack. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And you posted this....🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Much respect for posting this and being humble about the experience. We all make mistakes.

I'm glad you "rode" away from that. And... thank you for sharing. Videos like this are educational.

Glad you’re good brother!

Glad you're ok but you was going way to fast for the area and skill level. Much respect for showing drivers what not to do. Stay safe kid

Is no one going to comment on how strong this man is for picking the bike up over the curb or dragging it?? Glad you’re okay big dog!

Respect to dude for checking on him

This man is a saint

Always treat any bike you get with caution on the first ride. At least until you have discovered any potential problems. 🏍💨🏍💨
