Yesterday when I was about to leave office, my colleague asked for a drop and I agreed.
We went to the parking lot. It took 5 mins for me to get all geared up with gloves, jacket. I will never start using self first time, and I have this practise of kicking lever in Engine Off for 3 -4 times.He started asking me why I do that and I thinking as a real biker started telling him the advantages of doing so and all. Almost 10 mins in parking lot now, he must have been thinking I should have caught a bus.So finally I switched on and kick started and kept it idling for 2 mins(as it was cold @ 10pm).Again I explained why I do this, then he finally hopped on to bike.Put it in first gear I release the clutch and engine shuts down !!! He was laughing ! I got embarrassed. I double checked if engine kill switch was on or not , no matte how much I kicked it didnt start ! then he said why dont you try Self (which i avoided all this time). Some how it started embarrassing me more.
He hopped on again and after I release clutch , engine off ! Then I checked Fuel Cock It was in Off ! parking lot is 1km away from main gate and I usually put fuel cock to off and ride till parking lot, and by idling the bike Guess no fuel was left.

Like many, I have also fallen prey to the scratching helmeted head and trying to answer phone in the same way. Once, I too let my bike fall because I forgot to engage the side stand and just let it go, this was right outside my house gate.
One of the funniest incidencents I have seen: it was late at night and I was chatting with a friend outside his house. His house is along a nice wide road, and close to a grils hostel. While we were chatting, a couple of bikers showed up and started doing some basic stunts on the road and going back and forth. It was all ok and me and my friend were just watching them, when one guy on a CBZ tried to do a Jesus pose on his bike. He got up effortlessly on the seat and kept the bike very stable throughout. But I had a feeling (from old experience) that getting up on the seat is easier than getting back in the saddle. I just knew the guy was gonna fall and moments later, just as he was trying to get back in the saddle, guess what, he did. Luckily the guy was not hurt much, just got and rode off with his friends, probably too embarassed to stick around. Poor new CBZ . THis was quite a few years ago.
