my series of events on one occasion:-

riding fast on an open road-----one uncle asking for lift----stopped and let him sit------zoomed again----speed breaker ahead------didn't notice----80km/h at bump----uncle off the bike------looked back at uncle------too much anger in his eyes----
DIDN'T STOP!!-----very sorry uncle!

one more:-
6 years ago-------me a new biker-----lured cousin sister to sit behind for a ride-------she sat-----too much load in the right side-----couldn't control------dropped her on the right side along with the bike------she still hates me!

one more:-
narrow road-----just behind a car -----waiting to overtake-------suddenly the car gave side-------zoomed------big boulder ahead which is why the car turned to the side------somehow managed not to fall.

this one is not my experience ,i just saw it happened
a crazy dude-----on TVS star city------riding behind a truck in traffic--------his headlingh below the truck's rear bumper-------a big hole under truck's rear tyre--------truck straight onto the bike's console------guy was like...WTF??

Hahaha...that was funny .

Similar thing happened with me. I was going to Delhi at night around 12. I stopped at a red light and a guy asked me for lift. I was first skeptical about giving him lift at that hour of night but the traffic was alive so I decided to give him a lift but realised that he looked a bit drunk. As soon as the green light went off I started instantly and the guy flew back off the bike. I then turned around to see what happened. The guy was lying down with his legs up in air and talking to someone(that drunk talk). I got scared and ran away.

That's why I never give lift to anybody! Another reason being my pillion seat is hardly vacant..

i guess running with the petrol tap off is the most common problem ..
people think that we dont have fuel when i switch it to on .. when actually my bike is always full tank

A friend of mine had bought a brand new P150 back in Sept'06, I said I wanted to ride so he gave me the keys and walked into a shop. With great gusto I got onto the bike and put the keys in and switched it on. Now I thumbed the starter, but there was no noise no cranking nothing, I was surprised. So then I tried starting with the kick, but nothing happened. Just the blank noise of cranking, now I was shit scared that something has gone wrong in the bike and my friend will blame me for it....I kicked and kicked and kicked, tried changing fuel cock positions and what not, I even tried push starting it, all this while my friend was inside the shop for a whole 15 mins.

He then steps out find me standing next to his parked bike and staring at the engine...he asked me how did I like it....I said "start nahi hua"(it did not start)...he made a concentrated expression and tried to start the bike himself, he kicked once himself and same story...it did not start....a second later he burst out laughing....:O

And that's the day I learnt about the "Engine Kill" switch.....Name:  Frustration.gif

This happened last year. My roomie had recently bought his red Unicorn. After having dinner at Ghar ka Khana, in BTM (B'lore) , he came out and tried to put his key in the slot ... didnt go in, he tried hard but the key just didnt go in .. he kept trying, suspecting that the lock was jammed coz rain-water had seeped into it. Minutes later, a tall and well built sardar came to him and asked "Bhai, koi problem hai?" .. after listening to my friends story, the sardar told him that my roomie's key wasnt going in the lock as it was the sardar's bike. My roomie's bike was standing a li'l farther.

"Bhaisahab, main aapki pitai karne wala tha" .. was what the sardar said as he rode off.
