Worst/most embarrassing thing on a bike?

[sunhuntin]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

im only returning your rude comment back to you

16 Year olds generally don't need viagra, so... No.... Awkward init

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 , 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.

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

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.

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.

sorry man i went to far sorrrryy

[lb99]

stuck his helmet on before realising the cat had pissed inside it.

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

i poop'd my pants when test riding gsxr1000...

[Monty69]

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 . Although i was speeding, i feel in certain places at the right time it can be done in complete saftey
