One time, my buddies were waiting in my driveway for me to come out for a ride so I hopped on my trusty VF400F, rode past the carport, hit my bar end on a carport pole and the bike deposited betwen my feet. Flash!

i was reading bout the flashing of the lights to warn of cops ahead thing and i saw some post about twirling their finger above their head i though they were just joking. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ght=headlights

oh how wrong was i here i was heading back from parmy to wellington on state high way 58 to state highway 1 and i went past a biker doing that. this guy was waving his finger around above his head like there was no tomorrow. i knew what he ment but i was laughing my head off all the way down the road.

of course the cop was well hidden on the side of the road in a marked car in plain sight but none of that stopped me from nearly crashing in laughter.

How about the time I decided to show off to the girls from "fancy meats" (I worked at a freezing works you see).
Popped a wheelie in the bike shed, I still maintain they all were hot for me right up until the front hoop came down in an oil slick..........

Night visit to one of those driveways exclusive to the capital..,.

This thing had a vertical slope approaching ninety degrees but the kicker was that there was a 45 degree slope across at the top. So I get to the top and put foot out, but said foot is flapping around in the air. Over we go...

Next thing I'm falling backward through the dark watching the pillion passing between me and the stars.

I should mention that years have passed, but this is the first time that has ever struck me as funny.

That would be the time when I was riding to Tauranga from Auckland on my old yellow Hyosung. I didn't have rack bags at that point so I tied a backpack on to the packrack and was on my merry way. I accelerated up to 140 at one point to pass a truck, looked in my rear view mirrors and hello, no backpack.

I pulled over and the truckie pulled over too and told me he saw my bag come off earlier up the road and get hit by a car, so I walked back along the road until I found all of my stuff in the middle of the road.

It must have been quite a sight for all of the car drivers seeing a fully geared up motorcyclist picking up his socks, underwear and shoes from the middle of the road.

Goes into bike shop stoned out of gourd.
Sits on 1st bike in a line of "on behalfs"
Knocks next bike over in the line and down they go like domino's.
Stunned bike shop owner jumps from office and quickly evaluates the pauper status before ordering "begone"

Aged 16 and knowing f**k all, rode my dads cb175 on Johns Road, Christchurch when it was 100 km/h speed limit, the chain came off the back sprocket and locked the back wheel. Luckily I was just pulling out from Wilkinsons Road and was doing about 20 km/h. As a result I clean, lube and inspect my chain weekly, whether I ride or not!

oh jesus... some of these are brilliant!

Went away in Jan for 10 days with a couple of mates (off and on road) - to date my riding experience had been 10 days as as I was a learner I was restricted to a NX250. The boys I went with each had Beema's one of who had spent a fair amount of money with Touratech and Kathmandu.

The one with the blinged out bike arsed off in a rest area after a cuppa breaking the mount of a very expensive pannier, lost one of his earphones, ran out of weed and had a massive downer for a couple of days, lost the contents of his radiator (in the middle of nowhere), had oil problems (helps to have oil to begin with) and blew a hole in his tent when the front strap came off (he had it strapped to the top of his pannier) which let it flap around behind him and over the exhaust.

I don't think he had that many problems riding across India!
