" Life is not a rehearsal, it's as happy or miserable as you want to make it"
Hi
In 94' I brought a RG400 down from Aucks. One day not long after I stopped for gas at the local servo (since closed) and went to kick start it. However
stupid me pulled in the clutch at the same time which disengaged it fully.
My leg swung down fast with no force against me and hit the end stop causing my ankle to sprain quite painfully. I walked a bit straight away but soon was on crutches. Riding the bike following the "incident" was fine - just had to hop around when I got off.
Arthritis will no doubt lay further claim at some stage I'm certain.
Have just got me 1st electric start bike now - yay!!
Regards

hehe, I remmember what is easily my most "embarrassing" moment on the bike....err....well...more accurately it was off my bike but here goes:
So my sister is married to a Moroccan and every time she conjures up some new recipe she tests it out on me!! Being the complete fucking moron that I am I nearly always oblige as Im nearly always in the mood for food......
So the day after I try out one of her so-called meals Im riding down to the beach to do a little swimming and get a sudden case of the squirts. In a panick I decide to pull over and join the S.Q.W.A.T team in the woods. Now, I'd always assumed that, along the highways, one could just stop anywhere and go off into the woods in an emergency situation such as this....thats what it looked like anyway. Not so!! Turns out there are these nearly invisible wire fences that line Americas highways preventing you from doing just that and they only let you walk in about two feet. Not much cover for a white ass to say the least.
So as Im doing a runner off my bike I flip over this wire fence and basically get told by the fence to fuck off. So as Im squatting there getting honked at by all the passing traffic the police actually stop to see if I need any help. To make matters worse its a female cop and here I am bare arsed as the day I was born with a steaming pile of the remnants of my sisters "Morraccan" dinner underneath me and this hot female cop is calmly asking me if I need any assistance. Seriously, if she had come any closer I could have handed her my license without even shifting my weight.
That was the last time I ever eat anything made by my sister. Found out later she went to this Indian spice shop and bought what must have been a years supply (for an Indian family) of red chili powder and put the entire damn bag in the dish. No wonder my arse exploded.
Needless to say, I spent the rest of the drive going VERY slowly for fear of catching up to all the traffic that passed me while I was showing off to the world.

No, I think she got enough entertainment for the day just by asking, "Sir, do you need any assistance" as I piled it up underneath me. Jesus, the years have not softened the blow to my ego from that one.............
Kill switch is OK... I know about the kill switch that's why I checked it!
So we had gone to Taupo to watch some racing with my wife and I on the bike and friends in a car. It was decided to take a quick run into town to get food, so the wife opted to go in the car leaving just me on the bike.
All set to go, key in turn it on, pull in cluthc push starter and nothing. Like I say I know about the kill switch so checked that. No problems there. Everything else looks Ok but no go. Look puzzled at the bike and back up to friends and prod starter some more.
Now it would be all ok if there was something wrong, but I was having mental block, only cleared when wife shouts out of the car window "Is it still in gear"
DOH! and the side stand was down DOH!
If only I had worked that out myself:slap:

Damn it. I thought I had escaped ever having anything to put in a thread of this nature. But Its finally happened.
I do most of the minor servicing on my bike myself, and only take it to the shop for the servicing required to maintain the warranty, or for major work. However a couple of weeks ago when I took the bike in for a wof, the mechanic was almost on the point of failing it for a worn rear wheel bearing, but when he he went to demonstrate the movement in the rear wheel he was unable to duplicate it, so he gave the bike its wof and suggested I check it regularly.
Yesterday I had the bike in M&V in dunedin for its 24000 km service, and asked the mechanic to check the rear wheel bearing, and if there was any hint of wear then replace it. A couple of hours later when I checked to see how it was going I was informed that there was nothing wrong with the wheel bearing, but that next time I adjust the chain it might be desirable to tighten the rear axle nut when I finish.![]()
