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…

My biggest fear. Stopped riding for 40 years. Took a refresher and almost shat my pants. When looking for a bike I went for an 883. Sales person said I was making a mistake and was telling me to get bigger. I stuck to my guns, walked out, and went elsewhere. Got the 883, 550 lbs, 50 horses, does 70 mph. I wear all the gear. Smart decision. Bikes, like the sea, are unforgiving. I feel for that guy. Honest mistake but costly. 😮

It's looks like you bought what you were comfortable with and that's a good thing. I will say this though. I sold Harleys for 10 years in the early 00s and there are two major reasons why it can be better to go with the bigger bike. 1 is that especially on Harleys the bigger bikes like softtails and dynas have a lot lower center of gravity and a usually lower seat height than a sporty. If you took your 883 and a heritage soft tail in a parking lot and did figure 8s the soft tail would be way easier to maneuver because of this even though it's a heavier bike. Also more stable at freeway speeds because of this too. 2 almost...almost every person that buys a sportster as their first bike and stays riding more than one season is so sick of how small ,underpowered and uncomfortable after any sort of distance that they trade it in and lose their butt financially and end up buying the bigger bike anyways. I found that with the proper training that as long as your feet are solid at a stop that any bike will be just as controllable as another. This accident was pure lack of skill and not being on too big of a bike.

Take a course and start small and work your way up! Those of us still around started on a minibike and moved up the "CC Chain" until a big bike wasn't a problem. Take a rider course too. Jeez.

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.

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.
