I don't know much about the celebrity world. But you would think that as a mega-famous super-millionaire, he would have a team of advisors who can tell him what to do and what not to do.
I mean, how can you let someone this valuable (valuable as in money wise.. his music is shit) just hop on a bike without doing even a LITTLE research? Even a 30-second google search on "motorcycle beginner basics" should bombard you with all kinds of articles on starting out on the right machine.
Not only does he start out on a sportbike, he starts out on a Ducati, and not just any Ducati, a damn 848 EVO. :rocket
Don't care for his music, but this kid has done a fcuk ton of charity work and positive things for people. I don't think I've ever seen as many fcuking jealous people in one thread as in this one. Pretty messed up to hope someone gets into an accident.
Only thing I hope for is that he learns quick and starts wearing more gear before something bad happens.
Charity work for a rich person is a tax write off they get that shit back bro.
I've done charity for around 5 years of my life. It always bothers me when people act like a celebrities charity work is this grand thing, they sign a check, get a tax write off, get a good chunk of cash back & they are a hero. While guys like me get treated like shit at charity events we take time out of our lives and drive for miles or hours to do & get absolutely nothing out of it.
It's like the presidency What other job do you spend a million dollars to get a job that pays a 100grand?
They get that cash back!
I have no bones against this kid I also don't care if he lives or dies.... Now I can say that about most people. I'm very fair in my lack of fcuks given. He will eat it at some point & sell the bike. I doubt he'd be dumb enough to go to fast on that thing, but than again he is 18 and rich so odds are he thinks he is untouchable.
Also he is setting one stupid ass example for his fans, but whatever. Also you are new here so I'll let you in on something. WE rip in normal people who act like this JUST as bad.
Never thought about it this way, but it's so true. Writing checks isn't the same as flying your ass to Jersey and getting your hands dirty to help the victims of Sandy.
Everyone who's bitching about the comments about him getting hurt get off your moral pedestal. There are plenty of jokes in bad taste on this forum whether they be about race, sexual preference, or someone getting hurt.
I've met this kid and I can tell you that, regardless of who he was to begin with, fame has turned him in to scum. Whether he gets hurt or not on a bike, only due time will tell. The biggest point with him riding the way he is as everyone has already duly pointed out, is that he is setting a poor example for a lot of other, very easily influenced kids.
