    I made the mistake of expecting a council worker to actually use the backing camera that was fitted to his truck
    I like my woman like I like my bikes.... and my bikes a screamer

    Well this was way back in the day....like when I was about 10. I was on wheels though....

    In the apartment complex I lived in (in Singapore) there were always workmen around doing stuff. One day I was skating around kinda bored and went up to the cab of this truck and asked the guy if I could hold on to the back of his truck when he left so I could 'hitch a ride' around the complex a la back to the future styles. It was kind of hard to communicate cause he didn't really speak english but I gather he was pretty much telling me to fuck off, no doubt not wanting to be the one liable for squashing a 'rich white kid' under his wheels.

    Not being one to be discouraged I sauntered off around the corner and a couple minutes later when I heard his truck start up I snuck back, craftily avoiding being in his mirrors as much as possible, crouched down on my skateboard and held on to the tailgate.

    Unfortunately what I wasn't expecting is that he was going to go somewhere in reverse.

    The rest is all a bit blurry being around 20 years ago but suffice to say I made it out alive, uninjured....even my skateboard avoided the wheels as I went arse over tit.

    Funny thing is when I look back on it now I see how easily it could have gone REAL pear shaped...but at the time I was just more embarassed than anything else.

    Trying to adjust a helmet strap with both while riding very very slowly at a very busy petrol station.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    I was washing my RF and there was a bit of oil/dirt that was very hard to get rid of, I started rubing so hard that the bike tipped over the other side. So much for bike love eh!

    I can only think of two..

    I backed into the front of my sisters car on my GPX250.. destroying her indicator and headlight. But to make it worse...

    A few months earlier, on my GPX250.. I backed into McJim's Ducati !!

    I made a common noob mistake - got lost and stuck it in the wrong hole.

    That's why it was so terrible, I flintstone'd it twice.
    Chickadee is a small girl but the fire that was raging within after hearing the sound was as enormous as a dragon.
