the scene was scary as there were other cars in the parking lot. if i would have left the scooter she would have gone alone, hehe. yes it was very embarrasng. any bloopers with you "Blackthorn" bro?

Just go back a few pages buddy, you might see a very BIIIG blooper which I encountered. Believe it or not, the bloopers may seem crazy and funny, but when you peacefully rewind those instances, you just fall in love with your motorcycle once again, and trust me, you will.

Cheers!

Insane! A very good thread indeed!

A few from my side: (latest to oldie)

1. Happened on the D-day of the NS. Had been riding a friend's ambition 135 for around 15-20 days before getting my NS. So, I get on the NS and about to start it and I find myself searching for the 'kick-start' for few moments till lightning struck my head : No kick start in NS :P

2. In the very recent past, I had my exhaust changed to a Taiwanese one. And yes, it was damn loud (in its initial period for 4 weeks), enough to silence a Gixxer with a yoshi exhaust. So it happened, I was riding down from Pune camp crossing the railway bridge near the St.Mary's girls college. In front was a Blue-white Gixxer with the yoshimura, with his girl - friend pillion. I was riding nowhere above 7k RPM. The sound was making all around crazy, including that fellow. So we join in at same pace after some distance near the KP entrance. The guy constantly looking at my bike, and me at his ... So happens, he asks me to stop as he wanted to ask me some questions about the exhaust. I stop nearby along with him, and lo, my bike goes off. Now it wont start, no matter what. after 15 mins of continuous tries and simultaneously answering his questions. He wanted to hear the sound once again. some time later, he gets fed up and comes in to see, the engine-kill switch is set to Off.

3. Had just bought my RTR with few thousand kms on ODO I decide to try out Lavasa at early morning. A friend accompanies me on the RTR. After some time, he taps and says, I wanna ride it please. Me says okays, and I sit pillion, little bored, little sleepy and daydreaming. Must had been at quite a speed as he takes on the speed breaker and THUD! Lo I find myself on the ground. Nothing happened except a few scratches on the brand new Vega boolean. He comes back after around half an hour later, 'Yaar, main tere ko upar dhund raha tha, tu niche kab utra bike se?' From that day onward, I always grab on to the grabrail no matter how sane the rider is if I am to be a pillion.

4. This was around the time when I started trying my hand on motorbikes. My had had taught me what's gear, whats clutch and whats brake. Dad had come to pick me up from school, after picking me up from school we stopped few kms ahead as dad wanted to smoke a cigarette. So he gets down puts the Priya (scooter) on main stand and goes to the tapri. Here, I start my fiddling right away and engage it in gear. As dad returns, I get down for him to start the scooter. Uninformed of my fiddling he takes it off the stand and kick-starts it and the scooter directly crashes into the thatched tapri's support bamboo nearly damaging it.

5. Used to ride a Hero-Neon (customized gear 21 speed) to go to tuition and all the roaming around. Used to ride it hard and fast constantly challenging the Luna's, M50's and something which looked similar to the luna. Never exactly used to slow down and turn but rather brake hard causing the rear tyre to skid and changing the direction with a foot down for balancing (Freaking everybody nearby). Was returning from a class (2nd day), and took to race with a friend who got her new bicycle. Just to impress her a little bit, I did the same. Little did I know, there was a huge uncovered, non-cemented, black smelly mud drain that I would be landing straight into.

LOL, had a good gig at it.

Shifting in neutral instead of second especially when you have had accelerated hard in first

We 4 friends were riding on 2 passions back in 2009.
2 friends riding the 2nd passion slows down while approaching the signal as it was red. They finally stops and bang both are eating the tarmac everyone including us on signal are watching them and didn't understand what exactly happened and why both of them fell down. Later when asked to friend who was riding the bike said "I forgot to put my feet on the ground after stopping" we were like o_O for rest of the day.

Yesterday Went to McD without removing my helmet & directly went at counter to place an order & the guy was like sir your head :P lol we both were laughing out loudly there !!!

Badass

Hello everyone! really loved this thread. Here are some of my experiences: 1) Gearless scooters have the same key for ignition & for opening the underseat storage, I was some 25km away from home had to open the storage box for a need then while closing the storage I accidently dropped the keys inside & pushed locked it (you don't need key to lock it) after realising what I have done I started beating my hand over my helmet in anger & creating a seen in public. Had to take public transport to reach home to take the spare key. When Dad asked an explaination to this I replied laughing that he always says to keep the keys in safe place. 2) My friend's Dad who rides a Bajaj Chetak dropped my friend's Pulsar while tilting it in the morning as the Pulsar was refusing to start to which I commented your Dad is really a orthodox person. 3) My bike was parked in the public parking, it was raining I came running & sat on the bike inserted the key but the key refused to turn I thought it was due to rain water that the mechanism is troubleshooting after a while I noticed different handle grips within a second I realised that it was not my bike (same model same colour) I quickly came off saddle & started laughing loudly. Similiar incident happened when I tried opening the door lock with my bike's key. 4) My friend was at Star bazaar where he spotted a t-shirt quoted "I LOVE BIKES" he asked the female attendant if he could get that tee for his size to which she sheepishly replied "Sir this is a ladies t-shirt!" latter he read carefully it was "I LOVE BIKERS" :-O I am still to read this whole funny thread but I am very happy to find people sharing same silly funny experiences, I have many such cases but these were the only I remembered.

Hehe, thse both cranked me up real good, especially the Pulsar guy's dad tilting the bike on one side, unorthodox.....

Cheers!

Thanks, happy to crank you up! Well that Pulsar guy's Dad is really unique person (thats the safest respectable word I can say) When that guy bought Pulsar his Dad enquired looking at huge tank if it had any luggage storage space & also gave his son some tips on how he can fit a spare wheel on his bike like his scooter :-O Will add more later!

ROFL. He must be one BAJAJ fan in the entire universe.

Cheers!

i was using a friends pulsar classic 150 for a few days, and the kick rod was removed(because it was broken) and the electric starter was kaput. So only way to start was pushing it and then jumping on n shifting to 2nd gear. I enjoyed doing this . Ok now coming to the incident.. i had taken it my office and at the end of the day (night ) i get back to the parking (glad it was in the basement ) and 'start' the routine... push...jump on...second gear... doesn't start...push...jump on..second gear... no go.. repeat this around 5 times, and the security guard is watching ... ok i decided to check if fuel knob is 'on' yes it is.. and then i walked around the bike n my glance 'found' the kick lever ....
omg... it was someone else's bike (a classic p150 in the same red color as mine) that wasn't locked (handle lock) !!! ... i sheepishly pushed it back from were i took it and then 'found' my bike ... and then again.. push...jump on...second gear... and vroooooom..

another one.. a friend of mine had moved to hyderabad and after a few months had his splendor bought in from chennai (this guy has a reputation of screwing up any bike he rides for however short a duration, my boss to this day curses that his activa was screwed up by this fella).. ok coming to the funny part...
after a day of work at office we planned to head back to this guy's place for a drink and movie, and we stop at a petrol bunk (this was around 10pm) and i got down outside the bunk since i had to withdraw money from the atm outside. after withdrawing the money i stand outside the bunk and i see my friend signalling me frantically... and i go to him and guess what... this guy ended up filling diesel for 100rs !!! i was rofl and the pump attendent was too... guess we all were tired. then had to empty the tank thru the petcock and then refill with petrol and get back home with the bike taking its sweet time to start back up and misfiring. i was rofl all the way in to the night...
ok now we are back home and enjoy our beer, snacks and dinner and fall asleep, wake up at 8am and go out for a 'chai'.. and guess what.. his bike is missing (it was parked outside in front of the gate like he always does)... stolen!! and the next day at work, narrating this incident at work had everyone cracked up and telling this guy that he 'deserved' this for screwing up bikes!! and we were like 'poor guy who stole a diesel filled splendor must be cursing this guy as well'
the bike has not been found (he dint have insurance) and the police wasn't much helpful either, so he let it go..(it was already in a abused state).

Bwahahaha!! Still you didn't give up on the push start didn't you, good one.

Honestly who is this guy? Seriously!

How the hell did he tank diesel to his bike, number one!
What the hell was the guy who fills the fuel to the bike doing, shoudln't he have corrected this SUPERHUMAN dumb for the fuel in first place
Number three, two dumb ass guys = more fun!

No offense, just for gags!

Cheers!

To this day i enjoy doing that kind of a push start
And oh this guy is one of our "machha's" who tries to talk in 'hyderabadi hindi/urdu" and it was a late night that day 10pm/11pm dont really rmr the exact time.. and i guess everyone was in a rush to get home asap.. and after this diesel incident, i was rofl in the bunk. and he was like "freeya vidu machhi" lol
