Re: Biking Bloopers

Okay it happened just today. There is an ongoing debate for another motorcycle in my home, still having been two in the garage already. But this time, it wasn't for me, it's for my brother. He always wanted to get the R15 for the posture and handling, and I even brain washed him so much to compel my dad to get the R15.

But now the ballgame changed altogether completely. Now dad says I won't spend more than 1L that's the max for any bike, but I had other ideas. And it was time for two stroke indeed, my dream after a long time.

So I had a pristine condition RX 100 from a friend of mine willing to sell.

Now I coaxed my brother into thinking that this is the best bike and you should get it, quoting a price of 40K, but personally it's well worth the buck. Even to this time me typing this very incident, that RX is in my all the way along.

So the real incident is as follows.

Mum: What is this bike, RF what?

Me: Not RF, it's RX 100

Mum: Whatever.

Me: Googled the photos and showed her.

Mum: You're crazy to have two bikes already and having one more, where the hell will you stop that one? On top your head?

Me: Don't worry, I will sell one bike.

Mum: This is what you said when buying second bike and you coaxed us all.

Me:

Mom: Start saving money..blah..blah...bhah.. all the while she was sitting next to me, this convo goes on for a good three to four mins... Are you listening to me.... Are you listening to me.... all the while mum staring at me.

Me: Replying to threads in xbhp and searching for some RX 100 details (honestly I didn't even give heed to what she was saying)

the fun begins here. when mom suddenly ges

Mom: Can I get you a loan for that bike?

ME: DAFAQ, SERIOUSLY MOM?

Mom: Idiot, you never gave heed to what I was saying for the past 10 mins, and the moment I said loan and bike your entire fat ass body turns towards me.

Me and mum both had a hearty laughter, and still am smiling while typing this.

Mom: You are impervious, I don't know what you get from them.

Me: Happiness.

Mom:

Cheers!

Re: Biking Bloopers

Ok.so this a funny incident i had encountered thanks to the cramster tankbag and this involves the police too...hehe..

So here i was riding through cochin city with its heavy traffic fully geared up at 12pm or so. There is an overbridge being constructed so only one way traffic is allowed so the traffic is inching forward. So i was behind this big tempo traveller and as the vehicle got in forward i follwed him into the bridge , since its stop go traffic i hardly moved much and in the rvm i see 2 cops running after me waving their lathis and blowing the whistle..i stop the bike, they stare at me and yell "you can't go this way, bikes are not allowed" and i am like "i'm sorry but there was ni sign saying that so i assumed i could enter" they yell back "no...move the bike out of the way". I'm dumbstruck, thee is hardely any space for even 3bikes to move together and how do i move the bike from there , mind you there is a long queue of vehicles waiting for me to move. So those cops are staring at me and asking me to turn the bike around and take a diversion. So i am like ,ok , let.me turn the bike ...so i pull the handle to extreme left and the horn blares out full swing as the tankbag is in the way, one of the cops jump up alarmed. I said im sorry and try to adjust it. Again the same thing happens they are getting seriously pissed now and starting to turn on me. And i am there fiddling with the tank bag , now the traffic behind me is pissed off...they also start honking..!!! At last i again have to push it extereme left and bam !!! Horn blows off again...and this time i just take off from them...haha...!! I check the rvm and i see the cops waving their laathis and fist at me...!! That was one tight spot..!!

Cheers
Ride safe

Re: Biking Bloopers

OK, a revival push to the thread - Just for gags & how I actually got gagged!!
WARNING : Below post might induce gross & disgusting visualization of the incident.

These posts gave me the b@ll$ to share this. Nevertheless, me & my friends still laugh about it till date.
I have the habit of chewing tobacco (Cancer causing material) inside my helmet (read LS2) for any ride & needless to say, I enjoy keeping mouthful of spit & ride for a long time. One fine day, I was on my way to office with a new shirt on & the usual tobacco in my mouth. Unlike other days, I started feeling air seeping inside my helmet through the vents and before I realize, I SNEEZED (involuntary expulsion)!!!!aachooo-khlacckk-pthhuuuu,,,,,, seeeessshhhh, gone - the spit was on my eyes & face & helmet, drippin' on my new shirt & this happened just after a signal opened, while I could barely see with the burnin' eyes. Somehow came to a side, only to realize that I forgot my handkerchief that day. I had to use the bike cleaning cloth to partially (20%) clean myself (eyes, nose, mouth, shirt - creamy white)
Thanks to my tinted visor, nobody actually witnessed the turn of events...or else a video on the internet is not difficult to find,,, rest is history!!

I had to post it - spent half a day in office with the whole thread....

Re: Biking Bloopers

yesterday evening, while going back from office, an oldie with dhoti/lungi/mund asked for lift. After verbally ensuring his occupancy I took off real quick to give him a good time only to realize that his right foot was on my foot peg & I had to use the front brake to halt & then explain, show, arrange...........

Re: Biking Bloopers

Anyone who tried giving a goodbye kiss to GF only to realize you are Helmet on!!!! 'nuff said...

Re: Biking Bloopers

Well.. I have a couple of incidents myself

The first time I fell on my ZMR.. I still remember the date.. 6th of April 2011.. on my way to office.. sector 125 Noida.. I was riding fast.. some 80kmph. and I had to take right and then a left.. so I took right and noticed girls standing at the corner of the left turn.. I wanted to show off as usual.. I usually bend as much as possible in the turn making the left rider foot peg to touch the ground and make sound..

so I was soooo smart and out of my mind.. I bent my bike at its max at a speed of just 8kmph and boom.. the next thing I know.. i was on the floor and my bike fell.. My God.. The girls were laughing at me like anything.. I quickly got up.. picked up my bike and zoooomed out of that spot.. after moving a few distance.. i stopped my bike to see what had happened to her.. luckily nothing happened but a small scratch and then I see myself with my jeans torn exactly on the left knee and blood drooling out..

That was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.. many more.. will share it one by one

Re: Biking Bloopers

Girls can be disastrous to bikers; I've had my share too. I think 'keeping your mind clear of sensuous thoughts while riding' can be the next important biking lesson

Re: Biking Bloopers

Well.. Guys will be guys.. only 2 things that make a biker turn back is seeing a sexy bike.. and seeing a sexy hot girl and boom.. thats where we get a bang.. lol

Re: Biking Bloopers

ok here goes mine (kindly note, I am no good at telling events.......it may go boring and usual)

For the first time in my life I was training a guy to hone his motorcycle riding skills. He was a newbie. Under my preaching he was driving good, and within two days he was taking off and shifting nice enough.
Here goes the third day ............ It was a regular pleasant morning weather. He was going good while I maintained to walk around pointing out his errors and asking him a few drills. Then he came to me and said "Aao ghuma lau tumhe" (let me give you a lift) ........... I said with delight "ok ". Then slightly before a corner, being a sensible preacher, I preached him to honk first and brake before making the turn ............. and he asks me to locate the horn .......... I said it is there on the left handlebar ........ now this newbie was pressing the ignition switch and there I observed that we were on the corner ............. I screamed "brakes" !!

skidzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................. we were lying flat on the road ................... and our elbow + knee were served the scratches and injuries

so what happened was this newbie pulled up accelerator instead of break in panic and we tasted the surface......... while my baby Honda had a few minor scratch and bend.

Re: Biking Bloopers

This thread is hilarious.
I will share my piece of pie too:

Well sh!t happens with all of us. I will share the incidents as I recall them

1. In my college days, I had my new Honda Unicorn. There was this Apache guy, acquaintance of mine from college. We accidently met at a red signal light. He vroomed me for a drag race which I happily vroomed yes. Red turned green and we both shot like mad men. Just then my bike ran out of fuel and I wasn't so used to the bike that I could spin the reserve knob while riding. I stalled. Hall of shame. :banghead: cherry to the cake, he informed my friends about this in the college. :banghead:

2. This did not happen with me directly but I was scared like sh!t so blooper is on me too. We, a group of 4 riders were coming downhill from Kufri, H.P. One of the rider was feeling sleepy as we were riding since morning 0400hrs. We took all steps (tea, powernap, stretching, talking loud, singing like donkeys). We kept this sleepy in between while riding. One bike ahead of him and two tailing him. I was right behind him. All was good, then suddenly at a turn, we noticed that he was going straight. WTF??? Honk Honk honk we started yelling and honking at him!!! He somehow balanced and stopped. He was asleep on the bike...!! We made him sleep for an hour on the grass b4 moving on.

Re: Biking Bloopers

This sounds scary and sure did freak me out..

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

well, this happened when I was in Chennai.. in 2007..

I was in college.. my now ex gf wanted to meet me.. she was in Avadi and my college is in Ramapuram.. which is about 30kms away..

It was a friday and I bunked the last period happily.. I had a P180..

So I was going at a slow pace.. and suddenly there is a college named S.A Engineering College on the way to Avadi.. so there were college students showing off and there was a college bus going ahead of me.. so what I did was.. So called stupid mind of mine.. wanted to show off.. as there were girls too.. so I decided to overtake the bus from left as they girls and the guys from that college were standing on that side... I picked up speed and overtook the bus and cut right to go in front of the bus.. and all of a sudden.. i have no idea what happened.. I lost control of the bike.. the bike was wobbling out of control.. like how the accidents happens in the MotoGP.. all I heard behind me was the bus tires screeching noise.. then somehow.. I STILL HAVE NO F**KING IDEA on HOW I GOT CONTROL OF THE BIKE.. got the control of the bike and for the next 5 mins.. i was in shock... i stopped the bike on the side after going a little distance.. got down the bike and prayed Thanking God for saving me.. if I had lost control.. I would have been dead either being crushed by the bus behind me.. or by crashing onto the divider inbetween.. still freaks me out thinking about that situation..

I told my gf about this incident and she smacked me on my head saying what is the rush as I told her I was in a hurry to meet her never revealed to her the actual reason..
