Excuse me for a moment - I'm just going out to clean my bike.

Hahahaha, feel for you Max! My most embarrassing was trying to start my bike (in front of a group of men who were watching me) and not realising i'd hit the kill switch. Spent a few uncomfortable seconds trying to work out what was wrong without looking like a doofus (or having one of them come over, flick my switch and give my bike a pitying look as if to say "what did you do to deserve her?")

Or maybe the award should go to the lady cager I saw this morning who ran the stop sign to beat the car coming from her right before she checked to see if anything was coming from her left...there was something of course - me ......so she slammed on the brakes and stopped in the middle of the road for all to avoid....needless to say I pointed the finger at her as I went past....

Good stuff mate....I will happily take Dork of the Week, the replies have been classic...!!!

I have a Ducati MH900e which is fitted with a factory suicide stand. Basically if you rock the bike about an inch to the side then the side-stand suddenly springs into the closed position.

Had a few close calls before I got used to it.

At least this is the kind of mistake you only make once.

I think this subject is entirely off topic

summary:
A cute girl wasn't allowed to get a bike because of an EX.

Now... what was the name of this coffee place?

Don't worry Max... I bet you made her day too... and you're not the first, certainly not the last, to make an arse out of yourself because of a cute chick.

You'll be happy to know it's much worse when you take off with your disc lock on still...tends to readjust your brakes somewhat

Not mentioning anyone....*cough* ==>mammaryman

Great story. Good on ya for telling it and taking the shit. I hope your going back Monday for the chic.

**mattian** · 14th November 2008, 15:24

hehe..... I once tried to ride off one day not realising I still had the front disc lock still attached...... "CRUNCH" busted the brake (whole thing had to be replaced) and speedo cable. Luckily, no one could see my tears while I was wearing my helmet.
