Questions you're too embarrassed to ask

Not usually on the paying. Theres alays a corner somewhere. Tip is to park with other bikes.

Stupid question here...

Why some race bikes cover their lights with ductapes?

They're not racebikes.

They're road bikes doing trackdays. The tape helps to hold the glass in bigger chunks if the bike goes down.

Ah cool thanks

And then you get guys who forget to turn their headlight off / pull out the fuse and bake the tape onto the headlight

My first stupid question is (and this one comes from my missus'):

What do you do if you get a flat tyre?

p.s. Please feel free to chastise me for my newbie ignorance if it makes you feel big/ important

Ooh, had that happen with wife on the back of the old Triumph for her FIRST EVER ride last year. Complete blowout on open road at rear and quickly veered towards drainage ditch with very little control. Didn't know what happened and assumed somethng had let go at sprung hub at first. Anyways, called a mate who rocked up with compressor full of air (no good, tube shredded) and a trailer so got home ok, if a little embarassed. Not such a good start to introducing (the then) fiance to the joys of motorcycling...
