lowsiding in the city going 5mph..

 

I went to park my 1st bike one day when I got home from work...
I got to the parking space, turned the bike, went to get off the bike when BAM! I forgot to put the kicstand down :lol

 

My first bike, first time I'd experienced rain after a long hot spell (very slippery)...

Low sided round a bend in the wet in front of a pub full of people I know.

It was at night and I thought I'd got away with nobody noticing until the pub emptied and surrounded me asking if I was ok

 

highsiding in the city at 20mph. :cryin dammit I want to ride!

 

I forgot to put the kickstand down, and it fell over. Now if that's not bad enough, it was infront of these 3 hot and I mean hot chicks that i was going to a restaurant with for some lunch. One which I wanted to hook up with real bad, and I did a week after that. :crash

 

Trying to perform a stopie coming up to a stoplight. It was my second time out with new rotors & SS lines. I started squeezing the lever, the nose dived down. Was rolling around 20mph when started this. Bike came to a complete stop & rear wheel never left the ground & I flew over the front of the bike like superman. Did this right in front of a restaurant. I hope no on saw it. Broke the right side mirror, scuffed lower faring & scratched my helmet.

I no longer try to do stunts anymore.

 

Trying to wheelie over someone's bike who low sided in frount of me in turn 12 at louden in the 1995 600cc nationals. Ended up doing a superman over my bars. Not only destroying my bike but his, and all the leaders who crashed in the oil on the next lap. Due to my stunt the race was red flaged. OOPS. hate when that happens. But got on tv.

 

At a stop light, I was chillen in nuetral ... and there was a car with 2 blondes in it on my left. i went to put my left foot on the left peg (I do that to rest it) and wam the bike shut off ... turned out my big boot kicked the bike into gear with out the clutch in. I didn't want to look and see if they noticed.

 

I was following a Silver Ford Crown Victoria at 80 K, Pulled out and passed him on my RZ500, settled in at 160 and looked in the mirror, he was a cop!! Little red light flashing on the dash... I just pulled in the clutch and stopped. I took my helmet off and when he saw how old I was he said YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER...
He let me go though.....

Man, I wish I was old enough to get a free pass. :lol :lol :lol

Just kidding, did the same thing only got the citation. But I did beat it in court......

 

I was at Bike Week the second to last day. I was backing my
R1 off my trailer. It was raining, so everything was slick. As I
was backing it off my foot slipped as I was going down the ramp.
I thought I had it under control, but when I reached the pavement
it just started to lean over with me on it. It happened so fast.
My bike fell over on the clutch side. I was so pissed. Then I was
so embarrassed because a few people had seen the whole thing
happen. I tried to be cool and pick up the bike by myself. I just
couldn't pick it up all the way. I messed up my back doing it.
After a minute of so some guy came running over and helped me
pick it up. I'm glad I had put frame sliders on it. No damage to it.
I just kept telling myself I can't believe this happened.:bash

 

I was coming to a stop at a red light. I was going about 30 mph and kicked it to Neutral to free up my left hand to wave to two chicks I knew from around the way. The one rolled down the window as we were coming to stop and just as I opened my mouth to say "What's up" I took my hand off the clutch and the bike jerked out from under me doing a wobble and a smack. Worse thing was, when I tried to pick it up, I tugged and tugged and got it up then spilled it over on the other side.

Inventory:
2 mid fairings
2 lower fairings
2 turn signals
2 mirrors
2 engine covers
1 rear signal

And a whole lot of pride as Shelly helped me pick the bike up.
This was long long ago, moral of the story is that women are the root of all evil.:crash and I'm a dumba$$...:yesnod

 

The first new back tire I ever put on a streetbike , pulled out of the dealership , 180 on my ass ! A-holes never warned me , but now I get a tire and they warn me , little late now I learned the dadgone(cant cuss ) hard way !

 

At the beach in Carlsbad, beautiful summer day in 1998. I was watching a car roll through the parking lot that had some latin music blasting and the driver was doing the hydraulic gig, bouncing the front and rear ends of the car up and down. That TOTALLY distracted me from removing the disc lock on my new 1997 YZF1000.
Mount the bike, don gloves, put the bike into gear as I noticed about 6 beach bunnies checking me out. "Damn this bike sounds mean".

Blip the throttle a couple of times to look manly.

Ease out the clutch and start rolling out of the spot, heading to my left.

Mr. Disc Lock hits Mr. Caliper and down I go. I didn't even try to get out from under the bike cause I didn't want to F up the fairings. As I start getting on my feet, some older woman comes over to ask me if I'm alright (insult to injury).

I think that moronic move cost me about $400. It's funny now, but I was on my own **** list for about two weeks.

:iamwithst
I'm not with Stupid, I AM stupid...

:lol

 

Near my old place there is a very very steep street that is blocked off. So I used to ride up these ppls driveway and then over the park at the end of the street and over to the shopping centre. Anyway, one day it was raining and as usual I went down this road but this 4wd was over the driveway and there were cars everywhere. So I tried to ride up the curb. There was oil where I stopped and could no get up as it was high and my back wheel just spinned. So I tried to push it backwards but my feet kept slipping on the wet road. So I just sat there for a while till these ppl walked by and asked if he could push the bike backwards but he could not because he had a bad foot. But he knew the ppl with the 4wd so he got this woman out to move the 4wd but before she would I got this long lecture about loud motorcyles taking short cuts over the garden. I never took that shortcut again!

 

Pulling into the mall to get my haircut and I get a bee in my helmet...So, as I'm getting stung in the face, I'm trying to reach in and kill the SOB while yelling like the bald headed retard on the speed channel. Next thing I know, I'm on the sidewalk in front of Sears and heading right for the landscaped bushes nearby....In I go and the bike falls over as I'm jumping up and down doing the "GDMN I'm still gettin' stung dance", while I try and get my helmet off. Only good thing was it was on my first street bike, a KZ400......:ugh And of course I had an audience, thanks, I'll be here all week.........

 

Two things

I've actually got two embarrasing moments in my motorbike career.

1st one was over 10 year ago when I had a 1984 RM-125 and i decided to attempt a line locker(front brake drop clutch spin wheel) in the mud and the rear wheel grabbed traction and flipped,,, my dad got it on video!!!!!!

the other embarrasing time was coming up to a set of lights about 5 mins from my house, split the lanes and went up the front of the line of traffic of which we all had to turn right once lights changed green,,,, Lights changed green and I've belted my GSXR-600 into the right hander only to find myself sliding along the ground in the blink of an eye!!!!!!!!!! how did it happen...

NEW f**ken TYRE ON REAR, COLD AS AND IT SPAT ME OFF IN AN INSTANT,,, ALL THE TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP,,, FOR ME TO PICK MY EGO UP OFF THE GROUND AND THEN BIKE!!!!

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I SEEN WAS AS FOLLOWS:

It was 1998 when the first R1 hit the streets here in Australia, when we were sitting at a fairly well known pub to bike riders,,, this dude on his brand new R1 with his chick on the back pulled up and parked across the road,,, now why he parked across the road is a mystery cause most people park on the pub side of the road,,,, we all reckon it was to show off his newly aquired piece of machinery that was envious to us all...... he gets off the beast and drops a disc lock onto the front disc,,, walks into the pub gets a couple of drinks for hiimself and his MRS,,, 15 minutes have passed and they suit up to get back on,,,,,,,, forgetting about his disc lock he gives the beast a few revs to make sure everyone is watching and the goes to take off,,,, and BAM THE BIKE WITH HIM AND HER ON IT HIT THE DECK HARD AND THEY BOTH ARE PINNED UNDER IT!!!!! OH WHAT A SITE IT WAS,,, PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY,,, ME AND TWO MATES RAN OVER TO HELP THEM,,,, THEY WERE SO EMBARRASSED A LITTLE SORE AND SHE STARTED BELTING THE BFRIEND!!!!!

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE OFFERED A RIDE HOME WITH SOMEONE SHE COULD TRUST hAHAHAHA ,,,,,,,,,,,,me!!!!!!

You need to start carrying around a sign that says "the guy who gave me this sign is a bitch," and then maybe you'll find out... like Joe did. :lol
