Default Biking Bloopers

As a biker we often come across biking bloopers which mark their funny side all our lives. Some of my biking bloopers:

1.) I was standing on a red light waiting for it to turn green. I looked down at the console of my bike. I saw the green neutral light and I started off before braking hard realizing what I just did .

2.) While trying out the new P150 my friend, who was the owner of the bike, was riding as a pillion. I found the new seat to be sportier than the classic pulsar. So, I tried to vroom around a bit. I just got out traffic and saw an empty stretch to speed up. Shifted up...BANG !!!. No I didn't banged into someone but a lower gear due to difference in shifting patterns which was quite early to remember and easy to forget. My friend was yelling at me from behind .

3.) I was once checking out some thing (yeah you guessed it) and when I got my eyes back on the road I saw 3 huge stones...and my bike went BUMP BUMP BUMP !!! Miraculously the rims were ok. At another similar incident when I got my eyes back on the road I saw a Bolero stand still . You can guess what happened. Hint - I didn't banged in it .

4.) I was speeding, over 100, and saw a Wagon R at a distance. It was going very slow and I was wondering why it was going so slow. And then I felt I was approaching too fast. Finally braked hard when I realized that it was stand still. Dunno where was my mind .

5.) Few times it happened that I tried to quickly put the bike on side stand without pulling it out .

6.) Once my mamaji came home on a LUna. I was a kid. As soon as he came I took the Luna (still on) and went to market. When I did the shopping and tried to get back I couldn't start it . I tried I tried I tried but in vain. I had to actually ride it like cycle back only to hear from my mamaji that I had to pull in the level on the right to start .

What about you guys ?
