    • This was a liltle bit funny.
      I was heading towards parking my bike near my building.
      Suddenly i saw a small 7 year old kid driving his cycle as fast he could with no balancing wheels coming towards me.


      I stopped my bike then and there as the space was too narrow, due to already parked cars.
      I noticed him, but he failed to notice me standing there.


      The next thing that happened was that he saw me and panicked.
      He jammed his both the brakes, fishtailed and wham!
      He was lying next to me and crying .


      Now i was worried that somebody would blame me for his fall.
      Luckily his gaurdian came, picked him up and told him not to ride his cycle so fast.
      I hate being a pillion, iff the rider is senseless.

      • This happened just today morning.
        I was very close to college when i got an extreme urge to attend natures call, went to college parked the bike and ran straight to the restroom.
        Came to the basins to wash my hands and guess what i saw in the mirror????




        My helmet was still on
        Stood in front of the mirror laughing at myself for a good 10minutes

          • this happened with my 1st ride-Yamaha Libero LX

            Some days after I bought my ride, I took her to my college to show it to my classmates. After classes were over, I proudly went to parking lot and took my new bike and started flaunting.

            Everyone(read girls) were watching an I called my best buddy Deepak (@Apachean) as pillion. We both sat and ready to take-off-waved bye to all and-kicked..no response! kicked again,again(maybe 10 times).

            By this time the soft giggles of those around had turned to loud laughter Disgusted, being a newbie, had no clue,got out from bike and looked desperate and I found this- 'fuel cock in off position' (I followed the user manual to the last bit-close fuel cock whenever you park)

            Was really embarrassed and just twisted throttle to max and escaped the scene

              • Yesterday when I was about to leave office, my colleague asked for a drop and I agreed.
                We went to the parking lot. It took 5 mins for me to get all geared up with gloves, jacket. I will never start using self first time, and I have this practise of kicking lever in Engine Off for 3 -4 times.He started asking me why I do that and I thinking as a real biker started telling him the advantages of doing so and all. Almost 10 mins in parking lot now, he must have been thinking I should have caught a bus.So finally I switched on and kick started and kept it idling for 2 mins(as it was cold @ 10pm).Again I explained why I do this, then he finally hopped on to bike.Put it in first gear I release the clutch and engine shuts down !!! He was laughing ! I got embarrassed. I double checked if engine kill switch was on or not , no matte how much I kicked it didnt start ! then he said why dont you try Self (which i avoided all this time). Some how it started embarrassing me more.
                He hopped on again and after I release clutch , engine off ! Then I checked Fuel Cock It was in Off ! parking lot is 1km away from main gate and I usually put fuel cock to off and ride till parking lot, and by idling the bike Guess no fuel was left.

                • Like many, I have also fallen prey to the scratching helmeted head and trying to answer phone in the same way. Once, I too let my bike fall because I forgot to engage the side stand and just let it go, this was right outside my house gate.
                  One of the funniest incidencents I have seen: it was late at night and I was chatting with a friend outside his house. His house is along a nice wide road, and close to a grils hostel. While we were chatting, a couple of bikers showed up and started doing some basic stunts on the road and going back and forth. It was all ok and me and my friend were just watching them, when one guy on a CBZ tried to do a Jesus pose on his bike. He got up effortlessly on the seat and kept the bike very stable throughout. But I had a feeling (from old experience) that getting up on the seat is easier than getting back in the saddle. I just knew the guy was gonna fall and moments later, just as he was trying to get back in the saddle, guess what, he did. Luckily the guy was not hurt much, just got and rode off with his friends, probably too embarassed to stick around. Poor new CBZ . THis was quite a few years ago.

                  • This must be the funniest thread in the whole internet..... Really enjoyed reading this...
                    all the posts were good.... especially Niranjan's were Epic...


                    Here is mine:
                    1.one day i was riding in my bike, i crossed the signal and found a wagon R little far ahead me, had stickerings over it and in very small letters a 'quote' was written near its license plates...an Adrenaline rushed in to me and said read that... so i accelerated my ride, zipped through the traffic and found this:
                    'If u can read this, then u are so CLOSE to me... KEEP DISTANCE'
                    it was like *facepalm*

                    2. for n number of times especially after college has over, would sit on my bike and would try to turn the handle bar and found its not moving and i remember that my keys still inside my pocket...

                    3.Again as many off them, had ran with fuel tap Off many times.... and Finally gave up locking the fuel tap...

                    • 1. Second day of owning a ZMA, I assumed that the fuel tank would be empty only after the last blinking block would vanish, since in my Kiney the fuel only runs out after the needle's gone past the RED mark.
                      So wearing my new Vega Motocross Helmet, I hop on my registered bike and vrooom-puck-puck-chuck I pushed it back home, took a bottle from the kitchen and went on my trusted Kiney towards the petrol bunk. After that day, i fill her up whenever the last bar blinks, cause its pretty damn embarassing pushing a 150Kg premium bike home, and that too with a helmet on.

                      2. Was returning after paying KSFE, just put on my helmet and was about to hop on my bike when I noticed a couple of post modern girls in a car looking at my bike, I was like YEAAH BABY!!! and threw my leg across the bike, and since I was wearing ready made pants, it split into two from behind right in the center, (due to gods grace I still wear the nicker type of jocks over my undies), so luckily there wasnt any public nudity involved, but the girls saw what happened and started laughing like crazy, I was so embarassed that I didnt even think, just started my bike and hit the rev limiter in every gear till I reached home.

                      3. Bought my 2nd helmet when I lost my Vega, and the new one had tinted visor.
                      Me riding with friend as pillion, suddenly overtakes a guy on splendor with his wife as pillion, and trust me, the wife was worth more than a couple of looks!!! So I let off the throttle slowing down so that I could go behind them and enjoy the view with the added courage that they wont know since my visors tinted. BUT! After a few minutes the guy and the lady turned towards my direction and started giving mean looks which scared me and I raced off, and in between asked my pillion whether my eyes are visible, then he says its not, then I ask him "Then how come the guy saw me looking at his wife.?," and then my friend says "Eh!! Oh That, sorry bro, I was also looking at his wife she was hot, and I think he might've caught me doing it." and I was like *facepalm.

                      4. There was a poser in school with a yellow K&N fitted ZMA. He says his bike is super fast cause of the K&N and all that crap, so just to show him my pure stock ZMA was better, I did an instant WOT in 1st gear, and shockingly the front was off the ground and the bike went forward,and the bike leaned towards one side and I put my leg down to make it straight(BIG MISTAKE), it went abit further and came down, (luckily the road wasnt a straight one and the guys didnt see me putting my leg down.) all my friends came running and applauded saying that I was a professional cause they liked the way I croutched when the bike wheelied and all that, and made fun of my pillion for spreading his legs like they show in cartoons when a bike is ridden fast. And for the day me and my ZMA was the hot topic, little did they know, that I suffered from a hyper extended knee and was fighting up the tears, fearing they'd make fun of me for the rest of my life if I cried in campus. Anyways after about two months, I was able to walk like normal. The funny thing is that, even to this day whenever anyone sees me going out of the college parking lot, literally begs me to pop a wheelies, and I respond like "Dont have time", "Lost practice" etc.

                          • reading this i remember one involving my friend.
                            I ride a Apache and the last stick of the digital fuel gauge starts blinking before the reserve need to be engaged.

                            one friend asked for the bike to go for some 30 mins and i gave him the key. he went and missing for like 2 hours.
                            he comes back after 2 hrs and curses me for why i keep such low fuel levels. he had to park the bike roadside since the engine stopped, saw that the last bar of fuel meter is blinking, thought the bike ran out of fuel, took a auto to the fuel bunk, got a litre of fuel in some empty bottle and pour it before he can start it again and bring it back.

                            He went bonkers when i told him "why didn't u simply turn the fuel gauge to RESERVE, it has another 40-50 km worth fuel left!!".

                            well, i cant blame someone who has non-digital meters.

                            • Once me and my friend went in my bike and parked it in Besant nagar beach. Actually I parked the bike after the second raised platform(walkway). We went straight to the beach and walked the left side and came back to the road. Due to some interesting talking, we both forgot that we travelled the left side and were searching the bike in the parking space(We were in the first raised platform in the walkway). The confusing part was that there was a icecream vehicle and a corn vendor on both sides. We were searching the bike in the left side of the parking space, but actually the bike was in the right side near the second raised platform. WE searched the bike for 15 mins only on the whole left side. Also rains poured down at that time and it was difficult searching.Even the icecream vendor made us fear by saying that there are lot of thefts in the beach. Finally my friend went to the right side and found the bike. We were like both in embarrassed and happy state.

                                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...

                                we used to tour a lot on bikes when we were studying in Nashik. On one such trip we stopped by a vineyard plantation to check out the vineyard. There was a small pool of water that seemed very inviting and most of us decided to jump into it (Hot Summer Days you see)...All except one (Anup) since he did not know swimming. So, we entered the vineyard but not before we had stripped off and were in our bare essentials...
                                Very carefully, we avoided getting spotted and managed to hit the cool water pool and had just started enjoying when all of a sudden we heard Anup honking frantically...one glance at him and the direction he was pointing had us frozen in our skins...three hounds rushing from quite some distance...it seems that the vineyard owner had kept a few hounds to protect the place...
                                We all jumped out of the water and rushed towards the protecting barbed-wire fence...jumped under/over/between the lines and ran towards our vehicles...the hounds were close and crossin the fence...
                                Anup, very smartly had judged the situation to a perfect tee...in all this he managed to start out bikes and put our clothes on them...so when we arrived, the pillion just held the clothes, the rider jumped on the bike and we zoomed off...with the hounds chasing us...
                                We must have ridden for 2 kilometers without anything except our undies
                                We must have been spotted by countless road users in this attire

                                Thankfully we escaped with a few bruises from the barbed wire fence...

                                Guys, once I was driving my P180 & wanted to stop by a Photocopy shop ... 3 Sophia College Girls (!) were passing in the opposite direction.

                                My Pulsar 180 UG3 was new then. I thought why not try something flirty ...

                                As I was riding, I applied the front discs hard to stop, "almost" lifting the rear up ... I stopped safely too ... Well, Almost safely .. read on..

                                As soon as I put my Left Foot Down after Stopping my P180, Guess What? It landed Straight into Cowdung! ("Gobar" in hindi)

                                Damn, I heard some laughs around in my helmet, before I sped away cursing the Indian Roads ...

                                One more from my side:-->

                                Well, in my city's Sophia Girls College, policemen flock down to see that girls are not being teased by boys.

                                One day I was crossing the college. A girl, on some scooty, came my way in order to cross the road, as College was on my left, and she came from right side, from the city.

                                On my horn, she stopped in middle of the road, and Damn, I had to steer & lean so hard, to protect myself.

                                After I crossed somehow, I stopped, looked back & hurled some advices my style. and then saw to my left, Damn! Policemen & Policewomen staring at me. I was dead scared.

                                But, one of them signaled me to go on, like he was saying "Koi baat nahi beta, Chal jaa yahan se". I was relieved and then moved on...

                                2.Putting my mobile phone to my helmetted head as if the helmet was absent,
                                3.Out of nowhere, just for the heck of it, to see the front forks dive, squeezed the front brake-----but too hard to skid to scare the shit outta me.....thankfully didn't fall
                                4.Hit a speed breaker[a non marked one ofcourse] at 88km/h[as reported by my pillion who happens to be my gf] and wow.......my gf is SUPERGIRL-----------I got to face the music of my lifetime.
                                5.bounced myself off and lost balance due to speed breaker and a distracted mind. Distraction being the obvious kind.
                                6.I was riding pillion with a friend on his highly abused p150 classic along the kalyan shill road, all of a sudden, my friend stopped, took a U- turn and rode in the wrong direction in the outermost lane, stopped at a point,asked me to get down and pick something off the road...........to my amazement it was the gearshifter.

                                1. Second day of owning a ZMA, I assumed that the fuel tank would be empty only after the last blinking block would vanish, since in my Kiney the fuel only runs out after the needle's gone past the RED mark.
                                So wearing my new Vega Motocross Helmet, I hop on my registered bike and vrooom-puck-puck-chuck I pushed it back home, took a bottle from the kitchen and went on my trusted Kiney towards the petrol bunk. After that day, i fill her up whenever the last bar blinks, cause its pretty damn embarassing pushing a 150Kg premium bike home, and that too with a helmet on.

                                2. Was returning after paying KSFE, just put on my helmet and was about to hop on my bike when I noticed a couple of post modern girls in a car looking at my bike, I was like YEAAH BABY!!! and threw my leg across the bike, and since I was wearing ready made pants, it split into two from behind right in the center, (due to gods grace I still wear the nicker type of jocks over my undies), so luckily there wasnt any public nudity involved, but the girls saw what happened and started laughing like crazy, I was so embarassed that I didnt even think, just started my bike and hit the rev limiter in every gear till I reached home.

                                3. Bought my 2nd helmet when I lost my Vega, and the new one had tinted visor.
                                Me riding with friend as pillion, suddenly overtakes a guy on splendor with his wife as pillion, and trust me, the wife was worth more than a couple of looks!!! So I let off the throttle slowing down so that I could go behind them and enjoy the view with the added courage that they wont know since my visors tinted. BUT! After a few minutes the guy and the lady turned towards my direction and started giving mean looks which scared me and I raced off, and in between asked my pillion whether my eyes are visible, then he says its not, then I ask him "Then how come the guy saw me looking at his wife.?," and then my friend says "Eh!! Oh That, sorry bro, I was also looking at his wife she was hot, and I think he might've caught me doing it." and I was like

                                4. There was a poser in school with a yellow K&N fitted ZMA. He says his bike is super fast cause of the K&N and all that crap, so just to show him my pure stock ZMA was better, I did an instant WOT in 1st gear, and shockingly the front was off the ground and the bike went forward,and the bike leaned towards one side and I put my leg down to make it straight(BIG MISTAKE), it went abit further and came down, (luckily the road wasnt a straight one and the guys didnt see me putting my leg down.) all my friends came running and applauded saying that I was a professional cause they liked the way I croutched when the bike wheelied and all that, and made fun of my pillion for spreading his legs like they show in cartoons when a bike is ridden fast. And for the day me and my ZMA was the hot topic, little did they know, that I suffered from a hyper extended knee and was fighting up the tears, fearing they'd make fun of me for the rest of my life if I cried in campus. Anyways after about two months, I was able to walk like normal. The funny thing is that, even to this day whenever anyone sees me going out of the college parking lot, literally begs me to pop a wheelies, and I respond like "Dont have time", "Lost practice" etc.

                                Got more but this is all I remember now.
                                Excellent thread, spent the whole 2.5 hours indulging in these, just elevated my soul, excellent posts, laughed like a dervish here in my office . Keep it coming.

                                And the " 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... was one of the best I've read, excellent one.

                                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
