Hello people,
Don't have many incidents to share since I am only 18. I too come up with idiotic things like looking to the RVM when walking and scratching my helmet
.(all these after joining xbhp
!!)
Here are the biggies:
1. When I was say 10yrs old me and my cousin used to climb onto my uncle's splendor whenever we saw it. My uncle used to leave the bike with the centre stand as he knew that we would definitely climb. Now...as a kids(being stupid) we were playing some kind of hypothetical riding game.
I was the rider. My bro behind said there is a turn coming. And having seen MotoGP many times, I tried to leannnnnnn and BAAM
!
2. Got my RTZ when I was in 11th. Took her out of my locality after a long convincing conversation with my parents. She wasn't in a good condition then and was smoking like hell. As I was riding suddenly one uncle came close to me and said(In tamil),"Thambi, please come to our area also, we are having mosquito problem! And I was like
But thinking of it now
3. I heard somewhere that more oil would boost the power. So once I filled a litre and gave her more oil and went straight to the 4lane. I chose on part where there wasn't much traffic. Stood at the centre of the road and vroom and went off like hell.....touched 95 and wondered if anyone was behind me and looked at the RVM. Ahhhhh! I could see nothing but smoke!! Then stopped roadside and three cars zoomed. Was grinning like an idiot at them
.
4. My friends wanted to ride my bike and so I gave them the keys and went to my other pal's home. Came back after some time and found these idiots doing something near the fuel tap. I asked what happened. They said,"Your stupid bike won't start!" I exactly knew what these idiots would have not figured out. These guys never expected an 18yr old bike to have an engine kill switch
!!
5. Had a drag with my friend's P150. 3...2....1..go! I vroomed forward and was ahead of him. I was nearing 70 and suddenly my bike coughed and fainted. SHIT! The fuel cock
! Was emberassing!
6.Now this is the best one.....it was the day my bike came from coimbatore(was my uncle's bike). My dad drove back home with me as the pillion. On the way back we filled 2lts. We went back home and I was so eager to take drive. Then after pleading to my dad, he agreed to a allow me for a short stint inside our locality. Started and zoomed off. Suddenly she stopped. I tried kicking several times but in vain! Then since I have seen people doing things with their bikes when it stops, I too tried something out of my mind. Tried to clean the spark plug and started again. Nope. Went straight to the mech. He too looked at the spark plug and wondered what was wrong. Suddenly! He asked,"Thambi,who thought you driving?" I asked him why. He asked,"Have you not heard of fuel tap??" Frankly that's when I learnt that there something called a fuel tap in bike
