I Dropped My Brand-New SRV 600 V bike … Here’s What Really Happened!

Rian here, welcome back to African Villa Stories! In today’s video, I walk you through how I managed to drop my brand-new bike with less than 200 km on the clock. The thumbnail might have been a little dramatic (thanks, AI!), but the truth is the bike simply tipped over — and yes, it still hurts. I break down exactly what happened at the licensing office: the awkward terrain, stopping on an uphill slope, and the moment I turned the handlebars, released the brake, ran backwards, braked and instantly lost my balance. I’ll also simulate the mistake and show you the correct way I should have parked to avoid the drop. If you’re new to riding or just want to avoid making the same silly mistake, this one’s for you. And Shaun Moodley… this video is dedicated to you. After preaching to you about not dropping your bike, I went and did it myself. It happens! 👉 Watch the full breakdown, learn the lesson, and ride safe. 👉 Like, comment, and subscribe for more African Villa Stories.
