Laughter is the best medecine.

Once upon a time I was trying to fix a petrol grass mower.

Bent over and BOING !!!!!!!!!

Bloody great spring shot into my eye. :rolleyes:

Black eye for a month-no one believed it was innocent. :eek:

Heres mine my first car was a mini so one day I decided to topup the oil which I did, just like I did on my mopeds right up to the level which in this case was the top of the rocker cover.... resulting in an instant fog machine.

wheeling along doncaster where the first pro custom show was held
i was on the pavment by where all the bikes parked, wheeling along admiring the bikes
when i wheeled straight of the edge of the curb, the front of my titanium chair flexed backward then forward and acted like a giant spring and chucked me out the chair, causing substatial damage to my pride.

A very old Mini car when i was about 14,battery under back seat,found a piece of wood lying on the battery,slung it. :(
Came back and the car was one fire,battery terminals had shorted out on seat frame.
Which is why the wood was there. :o

said it before, but leaning on the roof of my bmw years ago talking to me mate, i sneezed and headbutted the roof, knocking myslef out for a good five minutes or so.:o


or driving down drop lane in a capri at high speed, telling me mate how well i know the road and then flipping it on the bend and ending up in a ditch.:(


Or said mate getting in back of bmw and asking what I had spilt on the back seat, five minutes after dropping my girl at the time off home!!!:D

or riding my zxr750 after a few to many, got round to outside the pub and the lights turned red, and i forgot to put my foot down. And it was kicking out time.:rolleyes:

[Dougie]

Fitted up a new sidestand spring.Got to work,kicked sidestand down only for it (unbeknown to me....) to bounce back up.Ended up underneath bike............ :rolleyes:

[Bosun]

never done a mistake <whistles nonchantly>

[noizy git]

I once scrounged a pair of baggy fishing waterproofs off my dad, they were great till I pulled up at the lights and then they caught on the footrests. I couldn't get my feet on the floor in time to stop the bike falling over :o

[pagan_flame]

So there was the night where, partying at a mate's farm in the fens age 17 or so, (c.1984) we decided to see how many we could fit on a moped.

A poor defenceless Suzuki X1 was pressed into service, and we got six people on it - with that many (horrendously p1ssed) youths on it, there was no way it was going to steer.

However - we got it going, across the yard, up on to the road...

...across the road and straight down into the ditch on the other side :D

Had to get the tractor to drag it out - amazingly only bent fork legs, bars and indicators to go with the cuts and bruises.

Cost £120 to fix, which split between the six of us was only 20 quid each *result*

That's if we don't count the security chain incident :D

[philtrixxxter]

On the way home from a rally in Scotland the nut on the back axle works itself loose and i nearly lost the back wheel completely. Everyone was trying to tell me i was just loosing grip because of the salty roads until a mechanic was riding behind me and made me stop.
Got that sorted and made it the rest of the way to the boat. I was one of the first on there were about 20 of us. I kick down the side stand on the bike, stand up and start to lean the bike down. Start thinking somethings not right as the bike crashes to the ground infront of everyone :o had to ride the last 80 miles home with a badly bent footpeg

[250chop]

i pulled up outside my uncles house about 3 months after passing my test and got off the bike and started to walk away...... but i hadnt put the stand down so it fell on me an knocked me to the floor lol engine casing hit the curb an when i picked it back up one of the panels (luckily it was just for show) fell off lol

[slug_salter]

i had a mate ....emphasis on the had!!.........he got himself a nice shiny new hyabusa , we took a ride down to santa pod to play on a run what you brung day ...unfortunately my old zx was not up to the task ......sooo after a few hours of kicking my heels and watching all the other kids play i ask my mate .....y dont you let me take the busa down the quarter??.....a resounding no was the reply ......persistance and a few beer bribes later i got my way and was sitting eagerly at the light tree...que stupid grin.....que perfect launch.....que lurch to the right .......que tankslapper.......cue lucky escape.....que giving my ex best mate a lift home while he carried his 2 week old bike back in a asda bag :(......................

Fuckin brilliant that :D

[TaxiDave]

Pulled up to T junction on my GPZ wearing a heavy rucksack, full of tools.

Wasn't concentrating, waiting to turn right. Tried to pull away in 3rd or 4th, engine bogged with bars turned to the right and the weight of the rucksack tipped me on my @rse.

Zero mile a hour spill in rush hour traffic!! :o

[feebz]

went to get in car, was busy talking to my mate and facing the other way, and absolutly missed the seat and fell on my ass :o

[booie2]

Trusting my 4 mates at a bike show leather stall to hold their jackets round me, to shield me from the masses, so i could try on some leather trousers, tried them on, loved them, and asked the stall holder, whom i thought had some kind of nervous twitch in his eye, if i could have the £50 trousers for £20, he nodded dumbly, I threw money at him, and ran out, thrilled with my bargain, I told my mate, who then informed, the two mates covering the 'rear' had pulled their jackets away , firstly while getting into them, and again when i was removing them. :o

But if you want pain, blood and big tears, when Betty, (The virago) started to rattle and bang, and i thought, i'd not stop, i'll have a look, so look i did, hit the kerb of a traffic island, which ended with me on island, the island box on me, and betty on top of that, managed to get out without betty hitting ground fully, only damaged footpeg a little. pain was the landing, blood was my ankle, and tears were when i saw the footpeg.

[Doughboy]

Training blooper here....

I was 18 and my mate Rod graciously taught me how to ride,
he walks me through all the basics and finally lets me on his CX500

Thinking I'd got a good understanding, I get the revs up a little
and gentally release the clutch... *rrrun rrrun rrrun rrrun... pft!* Stalls it.
goes for a second attempt... again.... *rrrun rrrun rrrun rrrun... pft!* Stalls!

Rod tells me I have to get a little more confident with the clutch, so....

Third times the charm?... *rrrun rrrun rrrun rrrun... oooooOOOooh shiiiiiiiiit!* :eek:

Smacks it straight into a wall! :o

Luckily no real damage done, but he wouldn't let me back on
till we were somewhere with no walls spotable with a telescope.

When I was about 17 and not long started riding I had a rear wheel puncture on my CB 125. I put it in first gear and walked it along to get to somewhere where I could get the puncture fixed. Then I had a brain fart and decided to try and wheelie the bike as I walked along - BAD IDEA :o So I revved it up and dumped the clutch :eek: The friggin' thing dragged be about 50 yards up the road on my knees whilst I desperately hung on.
No skin left on my knees - then great big scabs that cracked and bled every time I bent or staightened my legs. :(
