Default Biking Bloopers

As a biker we often come across biking bloopers which mark their funny side all our lives. Some of my biking bloopers:

1.) I was standing on a red light waiting for it to turn green. I looked down at the console of my bike. I saw the green neutral light and I started off before braking hard realizing what I just did .

2.) While trying out the new P150 my friend, who was the owner of the bike, was riding as a pillion. I found the new seat to be sportier than the classic pulsar. So, I tried to vroom around a bit. I just got out traffic and saw an empty stretch to speed up. Shifted up...BANG !!!. No I didn't banged into someone but a lower gear due to difference in shifting patterns which was quite early to remember and easy to forget. My friend was yelling at me from behind .

3.) I was once checking out some thing (yeah you guessed it) and when I got my eyes back on the road I saw 3 huge stones...and my bike went BUMP BUMP BUMP !!! Miraculously the rims were ok. At another similar incident when I got my eyes back on the road I saw a Bolero stand still . You can guess what happened. Hint - I didn't banged in it .

4.) I was speeding, over 100, and saw a Wagon R at a distance. It was going very slow and I was wondering why it was going so slow. And then I felt I was approaching too fast. Finally braked hard when I realized that it was stand still. Dunno where was my mind .

5.) Few times it happened that I tried to quickly put the bike on side stand without pulling it out .

6.) Once my mamaji came home on a LUna. I was a kid. As soon as he came I took the Luna (still on) and went to market. When I did the shopping and tried to get back I couldn't start it . I tried I tried I tried but in vain. I had to actually ride it like cycle back only to hear from my mamaji that I had to pull in the level on the right to start .

What about you guys ?

well a couple of incidents spring into my mind

1) This probably happens to everyone who's got a front wheel lock... sometimes you just forget that you've got it and the results can be embarassing...

2) Once this couple was on a bike ahead of me ...the girl's top was short and her jeans were low... well you get my drift, and every biker on the road was going near the couple, having a good look and then vrooming away to make way for the next one...
I was chortling away in my helmet both at the girl, who never realised what was going on and at the bikers who were trying so hard to make sure that no one else was looking at them while they were ogling...

1.there was once i was traveling at 120 kmph on speedo ..it was a full open and clean road i saw a auto trying to intersect the divider .. i slowed down to 110 then suddenly his auto was stalled in the center of the road i pulled my brakes to the limit and missed him by inches after that i didnt cross my economy range that day i was so freaked out

2. side stand the great .. learned the bke with out side stand .. hopped to regain control .. i was laughing on the road like hell

3. once me and my GF were going for a ride and in a red light she came very close which made me uncomfi so i said '' i need some space move back''
and there was a uncle beside me started laughing .. i couldnt control my laugh after that she was banging me from behind

4 . same as above but here we were goin to a party so we were in our party dress and all the cheap boys with there samurai and RX100[i dont mean to critisise any bike]were overtaking me and again slowing down in front of me
i was cool asusual then suddenly she said ''why did you get THIS bike for ? to ride at economy and lose in front of these loosers '' i reved ,,i riped ,,i flew
with a big laugh on my face

below incident is nowhere related to me(caveat!).
well .Once upon a time ,a guy rode a motorcycle in the peak mid night on almost empty highway.then he saw two high beams coming opposite to him.He thought what a rash idiotic drivers they are! and he rode between both the lights.

Then He is OK.recovering from the accident.
This J/k is may be 4-5 decade old.but for n00b's

PS:the answer is that it was a lorry coming opposite.not two bikes!

Ohh bloopers

- I parked my bike twice without putting the stand, Bang !

- Actually stood next to a diesel filling unit(didnt even notice where i was) when i had gone once to fill petrol the guy was like "saab aage jaao"

- the very first change that i failed to notice, i had gone home for the 1st semester break, rode my kinetic zx there and when i came back i "tried" to ride the bike the same way without using my legs actively

- "n" number of times i have ridden 2-3 kms with the fuel tap off.

- I was quite careless that once the tyre pressures went down to 15 and 17 psi

Bloopers..
1) Ripping the bike on the main road and while quick shifting missing the gears (happens with p180). Man its so embarrassing, people think that i cant ride properly.
2) During my second year when my pulsar was kinda new, i never pushed it much in traffic( I dont do it now also). This junction had a big traffic Jammed and i like a sane car driver, just stood behind the car waiting patiently. Suddenly a chick from my collage came on her honda dio and BANG she went on the foot-path all the way upto the signal n crossed it!
Later in coll she told me "You dont know how to ride a bike........bike aaise chalate hain!!!!" I am like yaa........
3) Ripping the scooty of my friend.
4) "n" no of times i ride with fuel cork off.

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)
