Gotta laugh- dropped my bike at a standstill!

[MD]

Now this was embarrassing today.

Picture this. I throw my leg over trusty steed parked on footpath out side bike shop - it had a full service. Just as I'm about to move across footpath towards the gutter to enter the flow of traffic, a rather beautiful young Lass is approaching towards me and one of us has to give way to the other.

Now me being the gentleman. Nothing whatsoever to do with admiring her...uh ..form, politely stops and says "you go" She giggles and says "no you go" [this had potential for a KFC add, Yugo said you go and ...] Anyway, Sucker me smiles and moves 2 feet towards gutter, slow to put my left foot down so I can look over my shoulder and slip into the slow moving cars. @#$% left jean bottom catches on footpeg. One second later as I realise my doom the bike has passed the point of no return. :pinch:

So me and not so trusty steed anymore, end up lying on footpath. It's then I realise the numerous onlookers. The long line of near stationary cars and lets not forget the motorcyclists about to watch my skilled take off. And then the tasty Chick. So she's still giggling and says "would a lolly help?"

Trying to salvage a fraction of dignity, I quickly pick up bike and look around for my shattered pride..not a trace of it? I figure, fire up and clear off before any body notices. But tasty Chick spots my indicator lens on the ground and hands it too me. :Oops: Uh, more embarrassing delays, gotta get out of here. Oh shit, now the other Riders are approaching. Where's that black hole to hide in when you want one?

Luckily my foot saved the bike. Only the indicator touched down. A spot of supa glue and it's lens cover is back on. Have to replace it though. Can't have the scratches reminding me of today's cock up .

Oh, I had a loaner of a brand new Tiger and went for a fair wander on it. Damn fine machine! Way, way better than I expected.

The world would be a safer place if every woman looked like Helen Clarke.

[Pussy]

Bugger! I feel for you :(

[98tls]

:nono:Bloody women,bring a man down at every opportunity:argue:

[Kevnz]

Are you saying Helen is a woman? Well I never ...

[MadDuck]

The world would be a safer place if every woman looked like Helen Clarke.

Are you sure? Really really sure?

[98tls]

Are you saying Helen is a woman? Well I never ... Neigh not at all.

[Kevnz]

As sure as Winston is sure that he didn't break the rules

Go see a docter,sounds like you may have fallen onto your head.....

:scooter:

[slimjim]

Arrrrr Fuck .... good read bro.. happens to the best..

[WRT]

Soooo . . . you dropped your bike, and still didn't get her number?

[Trumpess]

Ohh no! How embarrasing!!
Im trying so hard not to giggle myself, but you told the story soooo well!
Hows the dignity now? Im trusting your having a quiet snicker.
A lesson learnt.

I'd love to try out a new tiger, but those bikes scare the crap out of me. Wont even go pillion! Im happy with my 650.
Glad you loved your ride though. How do you compare it with your daytona?

[awayatc]

Ohh no! How embarrasing!!
Hows the dignity now?

Yet another reason why you should wear a full face helmet.......:laugh::chase:

[dwnundabkr]

ah ah ah ah @#$%, ah ah ah ah $%#! yep will not be the last time either nice write up glad the bike has come to no harm:doh::doh:

[Pumba]

Soooo . . . you dropped your bike, and still didn't get her number?

+1, I mean all that effort, surely you got a number?

[CB ARGH]

Yet another reason why you should wear a full face helmet.......:laugh::chase:

You'd still see pink through even a mirrored visor. It'd glow like a smacked bottom if that happened to me!

That's gotta suck!

[Big Dave]

How embarrassment.
I made Deano ring Suzuki when I knocked the M109 over.

[Fatjim]

Mate, you need bicycle clips.

Bugger

[MD]

Mate, you need bicycle clips.

Bugger

What are bicycle clits??? :eek:

[Big Dave]

What are bicycle clits??? :eek:

Things you ride but can never find.

[slowpoke]

The world would be a safer place if every woman looked like Helen Clarke.

Never a truer word said, everything would be sooooooo much easier. Life was simple back when you were 10 and unless a chick could catch or kick a reasonable footy she wasn't worth the time of day.

[klingon]

Ha ha I enjoyed that story! Well told! I would love to hear the Cute Chick's version of the story when she got back to work and told all her friends about it.

[imdying]

How embarrassment.

What the heck? You reverse a truck into it or something?

[Okey Dokey]

What a funny story- very well told! Thanks for the laugh.

[southernmike]

Did you get her phone number in case you needed a witness? You can't be accused of being a fool without a witness :)

Good to hear you used your foot to save the bike. Flesh heals and scars are cool. Scratches are expensive and uncool!

[gijoe1313]

Those classic minty moments rears its head again! :doh: :o Yep, those embarassing situations always happens when there is an audience, I think the biker gods just needed a chortle and unfortunately chose you to be their token of fun! :pinch:

Thanks for the story ... "there but for the grace of God, go I"

:calm:

[Big Dave]

You reverse a truck into it or something?

I was standing beside, revving it for the sound check, and it jumped into gear. Brand new one - green gearbox.

It cut out immediately (stand switch) and would have been sweet as.

But it had a lurch and I thought it was taking off down my steep driveway. It stopped - I kept going. $7.5k.

[henry]

Bugger! That's two in a week. You've got a way better story than I have though.

So what bike did you take for a ride?

[LittleAngel]

Aww that has to suck!

Its bad enough when ya goof on ya own but with an audience (and one paying particular attention) its just nasty! :slap:

Thanks for the giggle - and pleased your bikes not worse for wear :2thumbsup

[RantyDave]

She giggles and says "no you go" [this had potential for a KFC add, Yugo said you go and ...] Anyway, Sucker me smiles and moves 2 feet towards gutter, slow to put my left foot down so I can look over my shoulder and slip into the slow moving cars. @#$% left jean bottom catches on footpeg.

Binning bike while flirting frantically - double negative points. It is the solemn duty of this court to sentence you to two evenings hitting the whisky and four days pathetically wondering 'what could have been' had you not made a tit of yourself.

Good work!

Dave

[saul]

Nice bro only those that ride a girlz bike can truly do this type of Maneuver;):hug:

[raftn]

At the end of a long day it was a good read.

[Usarka]

Haha noooooob!

[Ryder]

+1, I mean all that effort, surely you got a number?

like thats the first thing going through a persons head in a moment like that? :lol:

somehow i dont think so... tehehehe

[discotex]

...So she's still giggling and says "would a lolly help?"


Correct answer was:

"No, but I'll let you buy me a drink for making me drop my bike with yo hot arse" :drinkup:

[AndyOnTheFlyingBrick]

Thats horrible! it happened to me with my first bike.

Just passed my Basic training and had my L plates. I was leaving my friends and went to do a U turn outside his house on a main road. However I made the cardinal mistake of looking at the kerb and somehow I managed to flick my wrist and shot into the church wall! The bastard bike went straight up the wall as I fell on my back, It proceeded to land right ontop of me!

Suffice it to say people were staring and coming out of the shops to see what happenend! I just wanted to die! quickly rode off with handlebars that were shifted about 6 inches to one side. N00b moment.
