The funniest moment for me was when I took out my dad's scooter out for the first time on my own. The point to be noted here is that at that time I knew just three things about two wheelers:
1. How to accelerate
2. How to change gears
3. How to brake
So, I stole the keys, kick started the scooter, got it off the center stand and rode away in all glory. The things were fine till I was driving in a straight line....
What else do you require to ride a two wheeler apart from the above three points? Apparently, a lot! One of them: To turn the scooter. And I didn't know how to turn the scooter. So, I did the most logical thing... I got off the seat and manually turned it. Oblivious to the fact the scooter engine has died down in process.
So, I had to start the scooter. And did I tell you it was a LML Vespa? the hardest damn kick ever built... It requires lesser effort to bend an iron rod than to start an LML Vespa not on Center stand. And please don't forget, I was 15 then.... Long story short, I needed to get that thing on the center stand to start it.
Only problem: This little thing was also not in my areas of expertise (Please refer to the only three things mentioned above that I knew then)
Result: Unable to start the scooter again, I had to drag it to our house. Since I couldn't put it on center stand, I had to balance it against the wall. No chance of any anonymity. Dad will know I took out the scooter. Dad always knows!!!
Aftermath: Please refer to the last few lines of the OP's thread to get the general gist of my Dad's reaction

Re: Adventures with Dad
This confusion reminds me of a joke we told as children. Once a city boy goes to the village to meet his country cousins. Of course displaying an air of superiority being from the 'cool' city. So his village cousins teach him how to milk a cow and the next morning leave him to practice his new found skills on a bullOriginally posted by HarryD View Post
Died laughing reading your story.
Unfortunately, by the time i came along in this world, we had a car and no bike. Just a Kinetic Honda, on which i would sit pillion with my mother!
Though i did hear a lot of dad, grandad and great grandad's biking stories.
How my dad would fly past on the then empty streets on his Tiger Stripes painted Bullet with Goggles and a Helmet from a pilot friend. The women who he used to take for a spin and the priests who went flying off his bike as they crashed mid-corner. Lots of stories i heard and got inspired
Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!
