Was once riding a CBZ back when I was in 11th, it had no brake fluid for the front disc, was coming down a slope with a pillion,reached the place in front of a shop where I had to stop, put both my feet down to hold the bike,(was in 11th so I needed both feet down), was barely moving at 5-10 kmph and pulled the front lever to stop the bike,but guess what? NO FRONT BRAKE ! Couldn't lift my right leg up cause I had to stabilize the bike with my feet, went straight over a small gutter, (was at an angle to it so thought my front wheel would just drop in but it didn't) the shop with its glass panels were right in front of me, and there was mud between the gutter & shop, somehow I managed to lift my right leg up and bang the rear brake! All this at 5-10 kmph... It was quite embarrasing, the shop owner came out to look, wondering what kinna stunts I was upto...

Oh and forgot to mention, I almost knocked over a parked kinetic just before crossing the gutter! (thought I would hit that too but miraculously no damage caused to anything, except my ego)
