QUEENSBURY, N.Y. -- A man crashes his new motorcycle, shortly after driving it off the lot.

Warren county sheriffs said Ricky Tennant Senior of Corinth was heading west on Clendon Brook Road when the accident happened.

They said he lost control of the 2011 Suzuki while trying to round a curve. The motorcycle left the road, struck a tree and Tennant was thrown off the bike. He was brought by ambulance to Glens Falls hospital for his injuries.

Officials said Tennant was driving the motorcycle home after he had just bought it from a dealer. He does not have a license to operate a motorcycle and was ticketed for Operating Out of Class.
