How embarrassment.
I made Deano ring Suzuki when I knocked the M109 over.

Never a truer word said, everything would be sooooooo much easier. Life was simple back when you were 10 and unless a chick could catch or kick a reasonable footy she wasn't worth the time of day.

Ha ha I enjoyed that story! Well told! I would love to hear the Cute Chick's version of the story when she got back to work and told all her friends about it.

What the heck? You reverse a truck into it or something?

**Okey Dokey** · 11th September 2008, 10:02

What a funny story- very well told! Thanks for the laugh.

Did you get her phone number in case you needed a witness? You can't be accused of being a fool without a witness

Good to hear you used your foot to save the bike. Flesh heals and scars are cool. Scratches are expensive and uncool!

Those classic minty moments rears its head again!

Yep, those embarassing situations always happens when there is an audience, I think the biker gods just needed a chortle and unfortunately chose you to be their token of fun!

Thanks for the story ... "there but for the grace of God, go I"

I was standing beside, revving it for the sound check, and it jumped into gear. Brand new one - green gearbox.

It cut out immediately (stand switch) and would have been sweet as.

But it had a lurch and I thought it was taking off down my steep driveway. It stopped - I kept going. $7.5k.

Bugger! That's two in a week. You've got a way better story than I have though.

So what bike did you take for a ride?

**LittleAngel** · 11th September 2008, 17:39

Aww that has to suck!

Its bad enough when ya goof on ya own but with an audience (and one paying particular attention) its just nasty! :slap:

Thanks for the giggle - and pleased your bikes not worse for wear

Binning bike while flirting frantically - double negative points. It is the solemn duty of this court to sentence you to two evenings hitting the whisky and four days pathetically wondering 'what could have been' had you not made a tit of yourself.

Good work!
