Re: Biking Bloopers

Acha hua that you shared the "right" reason, or else it wouldn't have been the head which might have got smacked.

Re: Biking Bloopers

1.) This happened in 2006 when I had my HH cbz. I was waiting at a signal and ready to zoom. As soon as the signal turned green, I put on the first gear without holding the clutch. The bike just stood there. It had no self start so had to push it aside and then start it.

2.) after I got my first bike, I was riding for the first time alone and the helmet was really bothering me. So I was constantly adjusting the position and wham....! I had hit a footpath. Both my bike and me were on the ground.

Crazy times... Will update more as I recollect my biking bloopers.

Cheers,

Hilarious!

Re: Biking Bloopers

Okay so, just why bikes give us that birdy especially when good looking girls are around is still a mystery, but even bikes appreciate girls, they tend to find the right opportunity at the wrong time to embarrass us.

I usually ride my bike pretty much on the louder side, a two stroke basically, sounds a little harsh and boy, do girls hate that.. A couple of months or so back, riding through a less traffic but people filled Boulevard in my hometown, this bunch of girls, hot ones by the way, to my right, all immediately turned back all the while I crossed them, alpha kicked in me, gunned the bike, she screamed as PSLV, the girls were like demure and boy was I loving the little things, just as I was sinking with it.. the bike's fuel cut off, frantically, I open the throttle, it just doesn't budge, again just the empty induction noise. Embarrassed. Too many beautiful people, all looking at my bike.... And why did it stop? Fuel cock turned off. Me curses myself (parked the bike a few mins before that) thankfully, the momentum helped me to keep the bike moving and me parks in the midst of the people.

Just to stop looking like a clown from frantically kicking the starter, me calmly gets down, puts the side stand, takes me cellphone out and starts talking to God like it was an urgent call, when actually no one called - - you know why...

And she cranks after those chicks leave my horizon. Boy, some things in life are boon and bane...Total bakwaas. Anyways, always keep that cock open.. Ride safe

Re: Biking Bloopers

This happened to me just two days after buying my first geared bike the KTM RC 200. Stopped outside a shop to buy something got back on the bike , bike signals ready to race I crank the bike ....nothing. Chills through my spine on realising a 2 L bike not starting just 2 days after purchase. Try everything the machine just didn't start. 2 guys tell me ' bro your side stand is down ' I just froze on the spot embarrassed, slowly put the stand up. Close the visor of my helmet to hide my face. Start button first try the beast come alive . I can see the guy smiling at me in the corner of my. Got the hell out there.

Re: Biking Bloopers

1. Have been riding CBR250R since last 9-10 months and my FZ is lying idle at my parent's house. (my dad rides it once every 2-3 months). I visited their place during my holidays last month.
After washing the bike, I turned the ignition on. The expected whine of fuel pump priming didn't came. Scared about fuel pump failure due to bike not being used in last 2 months, i turned the ignition off and then on again. No sound of fuel pump. Tried for the third time while (almost) s**ting my pants. No sound again.
Turned engine kill switch off and on again. And used self starter, NOTHING happened.
By this time i was convinced fuel pump is dead.Worrying about huge dent on my savings for a new fuel pump, i decided to check if battery was still charged, maybe battery is dead that's why fuel pump didn't primed. I was going inside my house to get the multimeter, only then i remembered that FZ lacks fuel pump. And as it turned out, it was in first gear (that's why didn't start when i used the self starter)

2. I also started using the bicycle i used to ride during my schooldays (BSA SLR photon). Everytime i want to unlock the my cycle, i instinctively try to put my keys between the handlebars.

3. I learned to ride on my FZ, It pulls cleanly from 2000rpm. So when i was test riding CBR250R, I managed to stall it 7 times when pulling out of the showroom. (CBR250R has to be kept above 3500rpm to avoid lugging the engine). It was extremely embarrassing as i was surrounded by people who came there to get their bikes serviced.

Re: Biking Bloopers

Nice experiences, just came to my mind a friend of mine when we both bought our bikes. I got my first Bajaj Caliber 115 and he got his P150 (Definitely male hype), as it could happen with a disc brakes he applied it so hard that Tank hit his, ***** you know where, perhaps definitely male had something in mind to make my friend a lesser male

Re: Biking Bloopers

Interesting thread, needs revival. Here's my blooper -

So I get my first bike in college, a TVS Victor GL and I have NEVER ridden a geared bike before since none of my friends owned any I learn to use the gears but still am somewhat of a beginner. So I'm going home from my hostel, have a small air bag with my clothes in front on the tank, nothing restraining or balancing it except my hands and legs and my hostel roomie sitting pillion whom I was giving a lift to the bus stop.

I reach a signal and it just turned green as I approached so I didn't shift down to neutral, was on first gear but had the clutch depressed. But as I approached the signal, one uncle on a scooter in front of me didn't start up on time, requiring me to brake and come to a halt. So as I put my feet down, my bag starts sliding to the right, so I use my right elbow to keep it from my falling while my hand is on the accelerator, so if you recreate that scenario, you'd realise that moving your elbow down keeping your hand firmly on the accelerator results in, yep you guessed it... VROOOOOM !!!

But wait that's not the blooper yet. So my right elbow isn't sufficient to keep the bag from falling so naturally I would use my left hand to grab it and keep it from falling, yep that's the one holding the clutch while the bike is in first gear with full throttle. So next second, while my bike impersonates the GSLV rocket and decides to go vertical, I'm treated to a visual treat, the wide blue sky and as I start to muse on how clear the sky is, gravity decides enough is enough and next second the asphalt greets me in a passionate embrace. I get up and make a big show of examining the cables of the bike trying my best to salvage what little is left of my pride.

Needless to say my roomie never asked me for a lift again.

Re: Biking Bloopers

This isn't biking blooper per se, but look what I found.
I couldn't believe my own eyes. Took a screen shot immediately.

Accidentally stumbled this review, decided to watch if fully, the subtitles come on automatically. Look what I found... Took a screenshot.
If you decide to open the "ASS" err that's GAS.. Stumped!! LOL

Well.: chuncky:
