Mannnn its just so hillarious out here!!!
Well here are a few from my side. More will follow pretty soon.

P200 was my first bike and this thing happened the day I took its delivery itself from Khivraj Bangalore.
Once we were out of the showroom, (me on P200 and my 2 friends on another bike) we reached a traffic signal. I switched off my bike’s engine and when the signal was about to turn green I cranked the self and the bike didn’t start. I was like WTF!!
Then I did this 2 more times and the signal turned green my friend went off and I was stranded there. The cars were honking behind me. Then my friend saw and came running back and we pulled the bike sideways and tried some R&D but to no avail and then in the end I realized that the Engine kill was engaged. I was like WTFH!!!!

Second, like many couple of time I’ve also gone with fuel cock in off position. After some distance the bike would choke and off it will go. I would be like heck the tank is full and then when I would check the fuel knob it would be off!!

Riding with side stand once!!

Then once I started my bike and realized the front wheel lock was still on!!!

Once after becoming habitual to P200 gearing pattern I rode my friend’s Discover. The gear patter in both is opposite. When I was to upshift I unknowingly moved the gear lever up and its after effects made me realize I was on Discover and not my 200!!!

OT : not related to biking
this is what happened to me yesterday night.
came out of Office at 10pm and went to the SBI ATM to withdraw Money. the damned door was not opening even after 4-5 attempts. I bent a little to see if there is something jammed in the slot of the door.....then I realise that it was not my ATM card I was inserting, it was my ID Card..............

Hii guys, some blunders by me

1. I was in 8th standard, used to take my Mom's Scooty to buy households, after purchasing just as i got on to bike saw some girls coming from front. Decided to show them my riding skills, needed to do a 180 degree turnaround, which i did without putting my leg down by tilting bike and just as i was recovering due to excessive tilting, heard a BANG!!!!!!!!! Forgot side stand....Somehow managed from falling and headed straight back home without even turning my head...

2. Got my first bike, was doing some riding through unknown roads with a jacket and full face helmet . It was time of twilight, going through a lane i remembered my old classmates home and saw an elderly woman coming my way i rode my bike very slowly towards her and asked whether she knows my friends home, the moment she heard me , she ran like "her life was on stake". Apparently she thought I was some thief who will snatch her golden chain when she take her eyes off me...........Grrrr, thank god nobody was there to see this...........

The Ninja completed a lil over 1000 kms and went in for her first service on 24th May.

Couldnt drop off the bike myself at the service center as I had to be in office so I got the bike picked up in the morning from work by the service engineer and he delivered it in the evening to my office.

Funny thing happened when the bike was delivered in the evening.

I paid the said amount, geared up, mounted the bike, ignition was turned on, side stand retracted and then pressed the starter switch.... Nothing. No crank, nothing. I panicked.

Have had nasty experiences earlier with my other bikes just after a service and i was nearly having a heart attack and hyperventilating. Checked the engine kill switch and tried again. Nothing.

Called the engineer who had just left and i was asked to check if the kill switch was ON. Nope, it wasn't. Bike must be in gear was the reply. But the bike does start in gear as the side stand was retracted. Then it occurred to me. Damn, pull the clutch and start or shift into neutral and start.... and it worked. I am so habituated to parking the bike in neutral and pressing the starter switch. Have never started the bike in gear so clutch is never engaged. Funny incident which sent me bonkers. LOL.

The same thing happened on the 1st day when we picked up our Verna&took it to the temple, outside which it refused to start coz the clutch was not depressed!
