Biking Bloopers

One of my friend happen to test ride Hyosung GT 650 for a first time. He didn't know that this bike had a clutch feature, that it'd start only when you engage the clutch. He was so happy to test drive, sat on it. Fiddles with the starter, didn't start, looks back at us, we look at him. Again he looks at the bike, thumbs the starter, nothing, this time, he looks at us, grim. The showroom guy and I started laughing. My friend was like WTF guys!
The showroom guy yelled, pull the clutch, pull the clutch. Phew! And then he took it for a test ride and came back.
It is little moments that's hard to explain, but it was a blooper never to forget.
Cheers!

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.
THE END

I was filling petrol from a unknown petrol pump on the highway, being a little paranoid about the fuel quality I asked the attendant "Bhai petrol mein kuch milavat to nahi hai na?" the attendant smiled & replied "Bournvita milaya hai sahab, ab dekho gadi kaise bhagti hai!" hearing this the guys & gals group next me in a alto started laughing the only thing I could do was to laugh louder! MORAL OF THE STORY: He who laughs last laughs louder! :-D After this incident I came to why he laughs louder :-D

Re: Biking Bloopers
That moment when you give a lift to a friend, his first time ever on a Duke, You're about to shift into first and then find both his feet placed on the rider's pegs with the grip of an octopus's tentacles.
You turn back to tell him its not the pillion's footrest he's got and before you open your mouth, he kinda shouts with the face of a kid about to have his first roller coaster ride. "Okay lets go I'm ready, Lets do this!"To finish First, first you must Finish!

Re: Biking Bloopers
I still remember when I bought my 220 years back and a funny incident that happened with my GF. She was very hesitant to sit on it saying it was too high, too high.Originally posted by jalex View PostThat moment when you give a lift to a friend, his first time ever on a Duke, You're about to shift into first and then find both his feet placed on the rider's pegs with the grip of an octopus's tentacles.

But the fun started when one day, she was sitting as usual. And I dropped the bike in first gear and moved with a little throttle and all I felt was a judder and her legs coming to my arms, for a moment I thought she was gonna trip backward and she was like, eh eh eh!
And the pinch she gave to my back I won't ever ever forget that pinch ever, literally made scar on my back

Cheers!

Re: Biking Bloopers
1)Once while revving up ny machine (p180) at a U-turn straightaway went to bushes of somethimg called "bichoo ghass".It is very painful herb...once you touch it,thrice you will jump.
2)And second was horrible yet funny,when i was in 12th std,i was racing with friends almost every performance bike was over there (cbr,220,r15,180,even bullet).Suddenly first bike went BANG withan alto,than it was mine and after that all the eight bikes went boom.No one was injured seriously but one guy went rolling over the roof of that car. :-D
3)I was walking by roadside and a motorbike came suddenly and then left right left right... biker fell down n i ran away.

Hahaha, the stand event is so true with my GF too. I've had more good memories of my bike and GF than anything. Both are blissful!

Re: Biking Bloopers
After ages...i mean AGES, I happened to ride an Acitva last weekend. Got on it, thumbed the starter, took off to a good RPM and then for a few seconds I was wondering where the gear lever disappeared and why engaging the 'clutch' slowed the bike down - before the reality set in!Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

Re: Biking Bloopers
Another big blooper I had recently - just 2 days after I bought my red CBR250ABS, I fitted it with sideboxes. Very next day, I parked it at office and took a walk to a nearby mall after logging out. Returned after 2 hours, I was shocked to see my sideboxes missing. I was very saddened and had a heated argument with the security on duty, shouting at him for his carelessness. Fuming with anger, I walked back to the bike, pushed my key in...and it wouldn't unlock. Tried yanking the handlebar, reinserting the key...it still wouldn't unlock. I was completely exasperated and began looking around hopelessly - and then suddenly I noticed a red CBR250ABS with sideboxes, parked a few metres away. And all the while, I was messing around with somebody else's ceeber!!!
:facepalm:
Had to hide my face in my helmet while passing in front of the security guard!Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!
