Worst/most embarrassing thing on a bike?

[glice]

Ok afew weeks ago I had a very embarrassing thing happen to me whilst on my bike, so i figured I would share it and give some people a laugh.

It was on totos northern loop ride and I wasnt feeling the best, but I decided to keep riding. We stopped for food in opononi for lunch, and I thought having a feed might make me feel.
After eating most of my pizza I started to have second thoughts...then we were off again when I started to feel quite bad just as we stopped for gas at Kaikohe for gas before heading down twin bridges. I filled up and was waiting for lunch to come back up, but it never happend and I got back on the bike.
Started riding and feeling better, then just as it got tight and twisty with no where to stop that pizza thought it really really needed some air. I was looking for somewhere to stop but there was only ditches which probly would have resulted in a fall. Next thing I know its coming up and I've coverd my tank in mulched pizza. I keept riding for a little bit untill I could find somewhere to stop.
And the rest was just about getting cleaned up.


Thats my embarrassing story. Anyone else got something to share?

[jtzzr]

No stories like that , but bling for your story.

[fireliv]

Eww........

[boolbag]

Worst thing I've had on the bike is a wasp go down my jacket and get me twice the lil' bugger.
the embarrassing one was trying to strip off as quickly as possible on the main road to get it out :weep:

[ElCoyote]

An anonymous (my call) Kiwi/international racer chundered in his helmet on the starting grid at Bathurst in the 70's and had to complete the race albeit with distinction. Feel queasy just thinking about it. Surprised FattMax wasn't there to record it.

At least ya shirt wasn't pink and wrinkly man!

Grossness btw about chundering in helmet. Eeeww. Hope it never happens to me. I think I've already posted this before but a mate of my brother once stuck his helmet on before realising the cat had pissed inside it.

I was cruising down the street with my visor open and a wasp happened to wedge itself between my cheek and helmet. Dam gloves were to big to flick it out too.

One day after not paying attention to my Mothers instructions on not eating too many sweets made with artificial sweetener I managed to get the belly ache whilst riding my dirt bike around home. I thought if I ignored it, it would go away but when "bottoming" out in a gully I managed to slip some past the keeper and it all ended up in my socks.

Thank god I wasn't far from the house and a hose.

Let me just say, stay away from over eating artificially sweetened items and riding dirt bikes.

And Mothers really do know best.

[74 knuckle]

Readin dese stories on wasps in jackets and helmets seems Ideal, mine went through the open fly in my leathers. Just as I was cruisin the hill out of Orewa on hot summers day. The memory of the pain still makes me cross my legs:argh:

Oh, where to start...

Rolled up outside a busy McDonalds, lost my footing and dropped my FZR400 in full view of everybody. Skipped lunch that day :-(

Bought a Yellow Ducati 996, a yellow Aria, a one-piece yellow suit. Looked a complete t**t (a sort of 'fat banana') as I rode badly, whilst struggling to reach the bars thanks to a pot belly, around the Isle of Man TT circuit - being overtaken by everybody (not in a race I hasten to add). Sold it shortly after...

Flipped a TS185 trying to wheelie (aged about 14). Haven't attepted it again since.

Spend an hour stuggling to remove a filler cap from a Harley. In the end I destroyed / smashed it to pieces. Only then realised it was a left-hand thread.

I know there are more but I think they're suppressed.

Most embarasing moment: Would be a throwoff between these three: First 125 mx bike, got a little too aggresive on the clutch out of the starting gate, wheelstand by accident in front of about 100 parants, motohoes and riders alike while dragging off the back trying to hang on but finally the bike goes down and i fly over it hooking my "upper thigh, lower stomach area" on the bars and sit there for a good 10 secs in agony while every one is having a good ol laugh. 2. Try to ride the bike up the plank onto the ute for first time next to a group of people all standing talking, kind of watching when I give it too much gas, slam into the cab and get trapped between the bike and the ute dangling by my leg waiting for someone to give me a hand. 3. See's rather attractive year 13 walking by, decides to give a little gas out of intersection in the rain... Hard in first, try to hit second while there is still a slight lean angle but get neutral instead, sudden reaction is to find second before the revs drop, bike kicks sideways, then grips, think its about to highside, then slides, then grips... Was quite silly looking...

[Usarka]

Worst thing on my bike has been me. :blank:

[Nagash]

Over New Years I was staying on a paddock with a few mates off SH 25 A.k.a The coro loop!

I bugger off for a bit and do the coro hill a few times, once on the way back I was following a cager doing the slowest he could possibly manage..

Just as we get the lookout point where all the tourists stop to take photos, I saw my oppourtunity.

Hammer on the throttle, just get beside him, go to change up gear and have a brain lapse and change down into first. Rear tyre locked up and I accidently managed to drift the bike right past him.

Musta looked like a right cunt..

im only returning your rude comment back to you

[sunhuntin]

dude... its called "ribbing." its what goes on here. :banana:

most embarrasing... on the old ginny that i think had a dodgy fuel system. at times, it would drop all power without warning. a few twists on the throttle would generally sort it, but also resulted in a bit of power being delivered in one go as it cleared. that happened one night after work... im riding past a bar thats just let out. bike drops power... i twist... the power returns, and im doing an impromptu mini wheel stand past the crowds. i could hear the hoots a block away.

worst... the butterly at 100k. open faced lid with sunglasses. white butterfly hit the bridge of the glasses and spread its guts across both lenses. stunk to high heaven, but thankfully the next town wasnt far away. stopped at the servo and washed it off.

[Insanity_rules]

Me and a bud had just picked up our new bikes (mine a 4 year old RG250 walter wolf and his a brand new GSX 400 impulse) so we thought we'd go to our other mates party on our bikes.

A good time was had by all and we went to leave. We'd both said one beer each when we walked in but I didn't realise he'd had a couple too many and he held himself together well till we went to take off. I pulled a styley little wheely (to impress the girlies) and took off down the street when I looked back my mate wasn't behind me so I doubled back to see what happened.

His bike was on its side revving its banana off and he was lying under it pretty much where we had parked. I stopped got off and walked over to discover he had filled his helmet and jacket with vomit.

When I scooped the barf away from his face and removed his helmet he was laughing... I just felt ill. I put him on the back of my bike to take him home but he kept leaning the wrong way, laughing and threatening to moon cars.

Funny now but not at the time.

[rachprice]

parked in a driveway/footpath of a very steep st and yep you guessed it put my downhil foot down....slowly the bike tips over onto the ground with me underneath it.
Being useless I had two guys come help me pick it up because I couldn't do it myself

[DougB]

I have posted this before on a similar thread.

I borrowed a bike to go down to the shops in Kawakawa on a friday night about 45 years ago. A nice little James two stroke. The street was full of people, as was the want years ago in country towns. Got my stuff kicked the starter and took no notice of the funny pop. Reved up to give the locals some lead poising from the leaded petrol, let in the clutch and found that the motor had back fired on starting and was running backwards. I was deposited unceremonisly on my hands and knees on the street. The worst thing was the gails of laughter from the lookers on. Skinned didgits and a severly wounded pride was the result.

[Dean]

now that is what i call embarrising must of been a hard hit to your pride

[trainingwheels]

Mine was my first race with a guy that had the same bike as me 80's cb250rs in red, we lined up ready to go, i had the throttle open all the way and let the clutch go when another guy said "go"!!! the guy i was racing shot forward and was atleast 100m down the road when he looked back to see my bike rocket up on the back wheel continue to bounce on the back wheel.... all the while i was still holding the handle bars with my feet still on the ground!!!...... bike then slipped outa my hands and went over on its side...

It took an hour before the other guy and spectators to stop laughing, and it cost me pride and a mirror, foot peg, indicators, new handle bars, weild the exust pipe, new foot brake....

i was called the rocket man for years......oh to be young and dumb again!!

[martybabe]

It's an old one but I still chuckle every time I remember it.

My mate restored a bantam, way back. Well he called it restored , I called it, the bike with unnecessary engine parts, because he had a margarine tub full important looking bits left over.

Anywho, Credit to the bantam, it still ran, some of the time. One time it didn't I was following him home for a cuppa. Slightly embarrassed, he decided to bump start the bugger. He got up a full head of steam and jumped on the gear lever :no:, British bike innit, he'd actually jumped on the brake pedal, the bike stopped dead but he hit the handle bars.

Holding the bike upright with his left hand he's hopping up and down going, ow! fugging ow! I'm pissing me self by now thinking it ain't that bad ya pussy and then I saw the smoke exiting from his neck hole and sleeves.

He'd hit the handle bars right in the trouser pocket region where there lurked a full packet of matches, these had ignited on mass and under his water proofs the poor bastard was well on fire. He was actually badly burned on his thigh and for that I feel bad but it remains to this day,one of the funniest bloody things I have ever seen. :laugh:

Sorry Dave fuggin funny though! This is dumb! http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=67886

[wbks]

Well I've heard from mates to use some for the all night guy reputation but it might be a little extreme. Oh yea my dog loves it.

[erik]

After work one day, I thought I'd do a bit of wheelie practice, so went down a side street and did a couple of meagre attempts, getting the front wheel up maybe a foot. Got to the end of the road where it joined the main road and thought, I'd give it another go, so popped down a gear and did a tight u-turn - only to find I'd got neutral, too late to put my foot down so down I went at near standstill.
I jump up, pick the bike up, retrieve the broken mirror and a cop car pulls along side that must've been parked somewhere down the street. Cop asks out his window if I'm ok and what happened there, I say "yeah, just embarrassed, accidentally got neutral..."
He must've thought my embarrassment was enough punishment for fooling around (or the "wheelies" weren't worthy of a ticket...) 'cause he carried on and didn't give me a ticket. :o :)

that happened to me, fuck it was gross, helmet was left alone for less than 5 min on picnic table, wife heard me ranting and looked out the window just in time for the .22 execution, thought I was in the shit until she thanked me, turns out it had developed a habit of pising on her clean washing as soon as she put the basket down.

fuckin strays

Worst moment, Losing my licence on my NSR250r doing 208kmh following a mate on his fzr400 behind christchurch airport, my mate got away scott free as his bike was dereg so even though the cop got his plates, still had no idea who he was. Then i had to go to court to get my sentence ($1200 fine and no licence for 9months) which was hugely embarrassing as the judge makes you feel like you're the size of a peanut, a out of control loon on a murderous rampage, and he kept referring to "you boy racers"! That was the worst bit, i do not like to be likened to those tin top bastards tearing up the inner city streets, jst because im young and speeding. Im on two wheels, minding my own buisness, staying as far away from other traffic as possible :mad:. Although i was speeding, i feel in certain places at the right time it can be done in complete saftey

[Oscar]

Late '70's, me dressed in cool dude ATGATT (i.e. flared jeans, belstaff jacket), hops on his RD400D and roars off down the street, not realising kick starter is up trouser leg...

...found out at traffic lights around the corner, when leg seems to be mysteriously paralysed as I fall gracefully to the right...

Stopp kidding yourself - you know that 208 kmh is never safe anywhere on a public road - ever.

You did something dumb - you got caught and didn't crash or kill anyone. Take it as a pretty good result and work on doing something different next time maybe?

[Blackshear]

Asked a young lady in the car next to me for her number, as I thought she was rather purdy lookin'.

When from the drivers seat leans my mates dad.
"Oh hey Chris, haven't seen you in a while. Met my daughter yet?"
'Oh huh, uhm. :sweatdrop No, actually. This never happened.'
But of course it did, and everyone gave me shit.

But boy is she a ripe looking grape on the vine :2thumbsup

Nothing worse than not giving it enough throttle at the lights yet, and I hope it stays the worst.

[DarkLord]

That would be while I was on my way to Tauranga. I had my bag tied on securely to my packrack.....or so I thought. It was about 7:30 at night and I sped up to 140 to pass a truck. Got past him, looked in my rear view mirror and, hello, no backpack. I pull over and the truckie pulls over to tell me he saw my bag come off and get hit by a car.

I walked back down the road about 500 metres or so (in full riding gear) to find what was left of my bag and all of my stuff I was taking down for the weekend all over the road. It must have been quite a sight for all of the oncoming traffic to see a guy in full motorcycle gear picking his shoes and underwear up off the middle of the road in the dark. I managed to salvage most of the stuff but of course I had no bag so I had to stash it in a bush and pick it up on the way back. :doh:

[nighthawk]

For me ,my worst moment was a late night blat on the old 5TA trump sometime in 1972.
The thing always had something in need of repair,throttle cable was alway a bit sticky and the Amal carb was forever blowing the top off due to a dodgy thread.
Was sitting at the lights keeping the rev's up,light goes green and I give it a hand full to get going, bike backfires, top flys off carb, petrol everywhere, inside of my legs in flame and bike rapidly trying to become a BBQ.
Needless to say off the bike in a flash and desperatley trying to put my jeans out, the bike now smoldering contently much to the amusment of all passing.

The same bike got my brother on a few occassions, came home one day to see the garage doors smashed and the bike in a heap,apparently he had tried to crash start it down the drive and it did'nt fire so tried the same back up toward the garage.
The bike fired up and he held the throttle open to give it plenty of rev's, as he pulled in the clutch the bead on the cable came off and the rest is history.:eek:

[racerhead]

My worst moment was.......
I needed petrol for my last bike late one night and decided to quickly run up to the filling station.
Now this all seems pretty simple but I was pretty busy texting somone at the time and my mind was'nt really fully on what I was doing.
But anyway I went out got the bike out of the shed and drove up to the filling station, all was going well up to this point:rolleyes:
Now the embarrasing bit.
The girl I was texting was sitting in her friends car who was right beside me also getting fuel. So as my mind started to wander a little on how to look cool and all that shit I decided to put the bike down on its stand while I reached to open the strap on my helmet.
The only problem was I had missed one very important step which was actually putting the stand down.
So what happened in the end was me lying on the ground under my bike looking like a complete tit and the two girls in the car pissing themselves laughing:(
But this all ended up pretty good because aparently she liked somone who could make her laugh and this one thing made her laugh whenever she thought about it:clap:

Def a learner thing todo...

Coming back from a ride with a mate, Tga>Okarori>Ngongotaha>Tga.. him on is Buell 1250 and me on my Honda VTR250. Ive found im a little quicker thru the corners...prob as hes a bit slowish, so pulled up to stop and wait at the pyes pa school.

Front wheel got into the gravel with the front brake on, full lock, over the handle bars, hit the ground, rolled a bit, ended up flat on back. Stood up, dusted off, turned around... about 20 guys with bikes at the other end of the stopping area! - all looking at me.

Must admit, they were pretty good about it, helped me up etc. Even after i blamed it on a flattish tyre...

Im still getting shit about gravel....

Learnt that lesson didnt i.

One of my most embarrassing moments,…..

When I was a young 16 year old lad, my pride and joy was a Suzuki T125. If you have to ask what one of those are, then,..well us old bastards know what they are. Cool machine, I used to give it death everywhere I went.

Anyway, one day, thought I’d go and visit one of my schoolmates.
Ripping down Linwood Ave (in ChCh), see his house so thought I’d be cool and lock up the rear wheel to slide her off the road, across their little driveway across the gutter and onto the footpath.
Anyway, I misjudged my speed a little, hit some unanticipated gravel and got her completely sideways onto the footpath, then hit the fence with an almighty whack, sending me and T125 onto our side.
My mate’s Mum opens the gate looks down the footpath and sees me and bike on our side, then yell’s out “Chris is here” to my mate and returns back inside………I was rather embarrassed alright….

Hmmm,….

[Kinje]

I had just spent the morning doing the Ride Right Ride Safe course drills. You know the slow speed handling stuff- riding slowly round cones, tight turns, over little bumps.

Anyway we finish the mornings activities and go back to the store for lunch. As I pull out from the park I stall the bike and it ever so slowly topples over with me on top...right after doing slow speed handling training all morning :bash:

[old git]

In the early 80's my mate Phil at deadline dispatch in London.
Found tied up stark naked ...ankles tied to the mirrors laid back on the seat with hands tied to rear pannier / rack , blindfolded with the word CHEAT in lipstick written on his chest. No clothes or keys..... in the wood on a warm friday evening, taken there by the girlfriend with the promise of a bit of naughtyness!!!............Shame she had discovered he had been doing her friend on the side!!!!!.............The best bit was he was found by the local Girl Guides out on a Nature trail...........I had to collect him from the boys in blue who could not see the funny side..........It still makes me laugh now.

[CB ARGH]

The most embarrassing... well...

Taking off outside cycyespot honda one time... Tried to hoon it a bit, when I changed from first to second I accidently flicked it into neurtal and revved the shit out of it. :confused:

It suuuuuuuuukd....

[PrincessBandit]

Ouch, that sucks. What hurt worst; the pride, gravel rash, or the scratches to the paint?

Many (about 16) years ago, I was coming home from school on my motorbike, turned into my own road that I live on, to find that they had been doing a patch of road works right on the entry to the road during the day whilst I was at school. No signs up. No trucks about. All done, and nothing left but a pile of gravel right on the corner, which I entered with all the confidence of a teenage boy who knows the road like the back of his hand...
Hit the road, slid along for a bit, and came to a stop when I hit the kerb.
I wasn't wearing leathers, just school uniform, but I found that my leather belt took the brunt of the slide, so I wasn't injured, except for my pride.
Fortunately there were no bystanders or cars coming the other way at the time!
