Year and engine output is a hard tell on who is a season rider or not.

Lets not bring professional riders into this, we are talking about the average rider. | Or you could just be making wild assumptions about something without reading any of the thread...
I don't see why having a new bike makes you a new rider. People around here buy new cars all the time. I'll be buying a new car soon...I guess that means I don't have 15 years driving experience.

For an average seasoned rider, would not be enough.

So what you're saying is you didn't read the thread because several people have identified him as an experienced motorcyclist...

I tried that when I was in MOAB Utah and I ended up getting 3rd burns on my ankles and the first thing I did was stop drop and roll like most of us are aware of.

As far as I can remember from first aid class, the best trick is to use a fire retardant blanket if it's available (or a natural fibre one).

I didn't want to say this but... Can you just shut the fuck up and have a little respect?
This guy is a father, has a very young daughter and he is a friend of a lot of us.
If you couldn't comprehend what other people have already said, he is a great and respectable rider who is very safe on the road and he is not your average kid on a liter bike not knowing what to do.
he is a great rider and he is very mature, he actually commits on tracking with a group of us and takes his speed out there.
From what we know right now it's a freak accident, and we are all rooting for him, cars can be fixed and replaced but life cannot.
It's why this is called an accident... shit happens.
Just have some respect.

Lol yes thank you. I also learned that in level 2 first aid. If a bystander was brave and fast enough to throw their shirt or jacket on them (leather, cotton etc) not something like a track suit, they could help smother the flames.
Stop drop and roll works great for if you or your clothes catch fire the old fashioned way. But if you are doused in a peopellant such as gasoline, not much you can do. Get naked as fast as possible, roll around in the dirt and pray to God

I know and ridden with the guy too. Definitely a good responsible rider and very nice guy to top it off. Hope he recovers well. Cars and bikes are just material things.

Picked up my new car on the weekend...2012 GTI. Also white.
After all's done, this whole thing probably cost me $1500-2000.  | |
