    Funniest inconvenience is when you have a really good chilli and fart, to add a little warmth on a winters ride only to have it escape out the neck of your jacket because you zipped your pants to your jacket.

    Amusing / amazing what you can smell at 100KMPH lol.

    hmm only one thing off the top of my head:

    Car drivers who, when in a queue of traffic in a 2+ lane road, stop while hugging the center line meaning that I can't lane split, or have to switch lanes to get past them.

    Having an itchy ear really annoys me especially on the open road because it's such a pain to stop, remove helmet, remove glove, insert finger in ear and rotate, put glove back on, put helmet back on, start up and then get back up to speed.
    Grow older but never grow up

    Whats worse is a poor fitting ear plug that is out too far and rests on the helmet liner and bounces around your ear making it go numb, but you are having too good a ride too stop, and then it hurts more when you fuel up than it would of sans plugs.

    Without doubt loose or dangerous surface arriving without warning.

    No sign posts = "GIVE ME SOMEONE TO SHOUT AT". Those that know me will probably never have seen me mad (skidmark - you have that rare "priviledge")... but unposted surface hazards piss me right off.

    LOL or in your waterproof one piece... I've taken the bastards 100's of km only to have some remnants of it delivered for my nasal enjoyment when I stop for fuel.

    Having a sparrow clip your mirror at 200 and splattering all over your jacket, the resulting smell after a few days!

    Finding your earpiece dangling down on the headers......melted.

    Not so much riding but.........being fussy washing the bike and stepping back onto the headlight protector....CRACK.

    After a while, I always end up sitting on my own balls.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Bee's, of course, even worse when you are allergic to them.
    Not being allowed to beat the living crap out of people who endanger and damage me or my friends.
    Coming to the end of the ride before I am ready to stop.
    Being busted up, and unable to ride.
    Finding friends lying on the road, especially if cagers are responsible for it.
