f*** me -- how the f*** did I manage this?

**homer** · 11th November 2007, 16:44

how did i do this..... well i dont know?

Worked all week, I work on crop farm......so longer days is normal aprox 47 hrs for the week anyways that dont matter
worked on saturday for 3 hours ,After getting up at 4 am went out to the river fishing ,no good the sea was rough as "4 m swells rolling in "
came home went to town went to work this was sat morn .
Then slept in sunday went to work sunday at 930am got home at 230 pm
Was going to go fishing sunday arvo but was tired so thought ,shag it
Get the bike out
Went to the folks to fix a tv aerial took the bike so could go for a ride then home .
So got the bike out thought i should go check tyre pressure ( done a week ago ) went to the garage stoped there ,hung my helmet on the pillion foot peg did the rear tyre then did the front .
The vavle was in the wrong place so rolled the bike forward looked still in the wrong place ,rolled the bike forward leant it over and then i thought its not on the stand properly so as i held the bike trying to roll it back on to the stand(I am standing on the wrong side of the bike ) it just keeps tipping over .
Luckly the helmet broke the fall but i still broke the indicator and now have scratches on the fairing on the side of the bike .

So im pissed to pieces and im now home getting pissed to pieces

If i dint have so much work to do all week i recken id have been more aware o fthis as i always put the stand down and even pull back on the bike to make sure its down .
NEVER droped a bike yet .I can never understand how anyone can .....TILL NOW

If you think it wont happen ....it will
thats what i used to think .

You're not the only one to make a silly mobve like that. I remember Mr Suave (The Peoples Hero) Johann Bruns taking off from Wainui McDonalds with the steering still locked. That was funny.

Rushing ahead of yourself maybe?
I'm sure theres all sorts of technical terms for it, but I still prefer "Ahh shit, I've f**ked up again"

seems to work well enough.

On Saturday night last weekend I pulled into a grassy unpaved driveway after riding for 6 hours, put my left foot out and gracefully fell over on the right-hand side.

I'd like to say that that shows it happens to the best of us, but I don't think that such a statement would be entirely accurate.

Don't worry about it too much mate. Not much damage was done, only pride was injured and that's repaired quickly enough! Look at it this way - it's the perfect excuse to go shopping for a shiny new lid!

You know you're supposed to replace helmets after impacts, eh.

You can claim it on home contents insurance.
