HH CD100 and jumping pillions remind me of something that happened when i had just joined college..in fact i learning how to ride a bikeon a friends CD100 and took a friend i=on the bike till the library..on the way this other classmate of mine stopped us and wanted me to drop him a on teh way..so there were three of us on teh bike and we went over this speed bump in front of the girls hostel at about 15-20 kmph..next thing i know i slowed down and the third guy was running next me [i was still on teh bike] and abusing me saying teh the little metal rack on th rear on which he wa sitting had gone into his bum(which in hindi caused us to crack up and in the ensuing moments lost control and fell down all in front of teh girls hostel warden..Why is the man who invests all your money, called a broker?

well, after the Posers' thread, this is a very funny one... let me now recall a few from my side...
1) well over 10 years ago... was riding a TVS 50 on Vizag Beach road from RK Beack towards MVP Colony. While I was reaching the YMCA the winds got stronger and it started to drizzle... I decided to go back home ASAP and tried taking a U turn... just as I was finishing the turn there was a strong gust of wind and I was on the divider (grass) and TVS on the road!!!
2) almost same time... learnt to ride a scooter on my uncle's Chetak. True to its name, it used to wheelie even in third gear unless u release the clutch skilfully. I didn't know this then and when my uncle was training me he was sitting pillion so it didn't jump. While he was sleeping that noon I took the scooter out and tried it... first gear... wheelie... almost scared but didn't fall... second gear another wheelie... lucky didn't fall...now I am shit scared.. stopped the scooter, pushed it back home and ran out to play with friends!
3) now was doing my +1. One friend got his dad's M80 to the college that day. I wanted to try it out. He knows I can drive a scooter so gave it to me but forgot to tell that the clutch is tight. Now I started teh M80 infront of almost all the guys & girls of the college, released the first gear... it did a very decent wheelie... with the chetak's experience I controlled it. Now, almost everyone thought I did a stunt but the owner guy got so scared that he left the M80 at home in that break time itself ;-)
4) During 3rd year college some of us went for a picnic to a beach. There were some 2 wheelers - my chetak, one CD100 and one girl got her Sunny. We parked them at the entrance but moved to another place where there was a lot of parking. So, the CD100 guy wanted to get his bike to that place. me and the Sunny girl too gave our keys to him to get our vehicles there. After some time, he came back and asked me which one of the brown scoters we can see there was mine!!!
There were two similar scooters and he didn't know which one was mine... he tried the key and both the scooters opened for that key... so he got both of them!!! we laughed like hell.......
5) A very recent one.... we went on an off-roading ride last Sunday. I gave my bike to Booo and was riding pillion to Ravi on his Zma. For some time I had a good time clicking photos but once it ended, I have noticed that every time there is a pothole or a speed breaker I can see, my left leg is automatically trying to downshift on the foot rest!!!!

One a trip to a nearby village, near Nashik, we were on bikes and I had decided that I would not ride today. Sitting pillion can be a very boring job, especially if you like riding. I was getting bored when my friend (Abi) who was riding the CD 100 remarked that he wanted to sit pillion and first of all, shift into shorts as the jeans was too uncomfortable. Sitting behind for so long made me reconsider my decision to ride and I agreed. We stopped and he changed into shorts. We started moving again...I was riding and Abi behind me...we hit a bad road patch at approx 30-40 kmph...I was riding slowly when all of a sudden I felt a jerk and the next thing that I knew was Abi running and hopping parallel to the bike...he had dismounted and was running parallel shouting "oh sh*t...sh*t...sh*t"...utterly confused, I braked and stopped...turns out that CD 100 has a swingarm mounted footrest and after a jolt thru the bad road patch, his right foot had slipped and his exposed skin came in contact with the hot exhaust...this instantly burnt all the hair at that spot

...the pain was so intense that he literally jumped off the bike...
Till this day (its been almost 11+ years), there is no hair on that spot...
so we invented the world's first permanent hair removal treatment


niranjan bhaii.....soo many tragedies with you mann...!!!
and woh bhi bike ke saath


you should host a show...comedy with bikes...

tooo hilarious.....its all about CC...

Nice topic! Some of them are hilarious.
I was learning to ride scooter. My cousins were visiting from Delhi and my cousin sister started to learn my moped as I was learning my brother's scooter. I had got the hang of it as I had been riding the moped for a while. So my cousin brother ( I guess he was 8 then) say pillion on my scooter and my sister took the moped. We used to live in a place where there ere many cows and bulls. For some reason one bull decided to chase my sister. Being a protective brother that I was, I asked her not to stop and I went close to the bull and honked and tried to get its attention which I managed to get. My cousin was actually sitting fcing backwards and started shouting 'Bhaiya, it is chasing us'. I reached about 60 on a really bad road and turned at almost same speed (remember I was still learning). I stopped at a dhaba which was on the other side of the road and felt as little safe as I knew the dhaba owner and thought that bull would not come where there were so many people. Waited for about 15 minutes and the bull which had been lurking went away.
My family laughed the whole day listening to the incident.

Ha ha , I have a similar story .I had a puch in Dehradun in 11th class.The keys are interchangeable for most puchs.I had parked my Puch at a hall , and when I got back there was a 99% similar puch (my number 6338 , that was 6x38) standing 3-4 places next to mine.I sat on it , the handle wasn't locked , I wondered how could I miss it.Started it and zoomed off.After about 50-100 mtrs travelling I realised my bike was sounding odd , I stopped and checked the odo , it had done less than 5 k kms , whereas mine was 10k + .Originally posted by niranjanvaidya View Postone from my side now...when I was studyin, we used to play cricket on the college ground and the facilities (hostel and canteen).......gasping and yelled "WTF...this isnt my bike...you stole some other bike you idiots"...


I jumped off and saw the plates , it wasnt mine
I went back where I paid for the parking , took my puch out , parked his puch where mine was parked, but couldn't put the handle lock as it can be opened with the original key only.
I wonder if anyone noticed it , atleast the owner must have been busy watching a movie

Nice bloopers guys made my day.
@Niranjan: it was very difficult to control my burst of laughter with my team-mates around working seriously. Hilarious man. LOL
Back in the day when we were smuggling two wheelers out of the house, My friend had stolen his dad's Lamby polo 150. Its so heavy that with all my might i could not put it on stand. Later we got LML vespa SelectII at my house. I believe in step step increments in stealing it out of home. First step was removing the stand and putting it back on. When no one at home i got the vespa off the stand. Just then i remembered how i could not put the lamby on stand! This looks bulkier than that scooter. So with all my might i pulled back the scoot. The vespa got on stand dragged back couple of feet on stand and i rolled back 4-5 feet on the ground.
Cos the bulky looking vespa was so light compared to the thin but super heavy lamby polo

Few incidents
1. Went on a ride of Delhi - Jaipur - Ajmer - Jaipur - Delhi in Jan 07, the ride was going real cool when a sudden mishap happened while returning from Ajmer. On those butter smooth highway from Ajmer to Jaipur, I was riding full throttle on my brand new RTR, as I remember my ODO was showing 120kmph, and there you go. Out of no where on the total blank highway, a stupid village biker riding tripple with 2 ladies on the bike with no hellmet in the extreme left lane (of 8 lane highway) took a right turn in the middle of the road without any signal, and I banged into them.
That accident costed me good amount of money, but left me with good experience of riding on highways. Always look around and think that the other person is just stupid and is on the road to hit you. Mind it! It's gonna save you from many accidents.
2. Recently when I went to HATU and was enjoying to the fullest and getting my acrobatic stunts clicked by none other than SUNNY GAJJAR
. One stunt when sort of wrong while I was landing back on the earth
. And came back with a injured knee (Grade 3- Ligament Injury). However, still managed to ride back all the way from Hatu to Delhi with that broken knee (non-stop, could not afford to put my leg on the ground)

2 bloopers from my side
One was with my kinetic, it was a rainy day and me and a friend (apache) had parked our bikes outside a shop. My kinetic was having problems starting up but after kicking it for a while it started. I was standing next to the bike, took it off the main stand, and my friend who was waiting for me to start the bike tried to rev the engine for it to warm up. Little did he know that my accelerator cable was not oiled, it got jammed and the bike almost rammed into the glass doors of the shop ahead. I ran ahead and jammed on the brakes on time.
The other incident was with my discover, when it was new. I had to visit the seepz office, and since bikes were not allowed inside i had to park it by the road side. After work i came back to the bike and found that the trip meter was reset, someone had played around with the switches, all lights were on. I started the bike and was surprised to find it idling at 4000 rpm, i tried adjusting the idling screw and it came down to 3000 but beyond that, the screw had no effect. There was a mechanic nearby so i rode till the mechanic shop, even the mechanics were surprised for a few minutes. Thats when i found out that the bike comes with a choke lever (some moron had pulled the choke lever). We laughed and i took off.My travel logs - http://twowheelsandme.wordpress.com/

My biggest blooper is that I crashed an R15.... which I didnt own.... and I did that while I was leaving it on the stand....
