Clive Posted Friday at 09:03 Share Posted Friday at 09:03 Have you ever crashed your bike while riding, but almost at a standstill? Many years ago I did ...riding to work ...I was wearing the usual bike gear (helmet, jacket and gloves) except for jeans and a pair of Para boots. I was coming to a stop at the traffic lights, I was almost stopped, i put my foot down and the loop of the boot lace got caught on the sidestand, making it impossible for me to put my foot on the ground, and over I went! I did it in front of some people waiting to cross the road, they laughed they found it hilarious, me? Not so much... Gathered myself up, and the bike too, no damage to either the bike or me....it was the slowest crash I ever had up to then. Any of you done anything silly like that. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted Friday at 09:33 Share Posted Friday at 09:33 I have several times, especially when I was younger. As teanagers we all used to hang at Polmear Cafe. One wet day I had to go, in my dads work gear yellow leggings and donkey jacket. I had a Suzuki TS185, I jumped up high to kickstart it in true moto crosser fashion, as we all did for no reason back then, only for my foot to slip off the kickstart and it to shoot up the inside of my nanaman leggings and stop me putting my foot down as I slowing fell over to the right with momentum. Of course all my mates were watching and cheered. Bastards. By the time I got out from under the bike one twat had written 6.0 on two sheets of A4 in Olympic gymnastic style and was holding it up to the window. Of course the piss was takenmfor weeks after 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busabeast Posted Friday at 10:59 Share Posted Friday at 10:59 My one is when I got my kawasaki eliminator me and my dad had just got to the bike dealer and it is sat out front brand new, so after talking to the owner of the shop we said our goodbyes, I got on the bike took it off the sidestand and promptly fell over as I was surprised by the weight, anyway picked it up and dusted myself and the bike down, no damage to either, it was sat back on its sidestand so I thought ok lets try this again... so again I sat on the bike, flipped the sidestand back up and lost balance and over it went on to its other side.... As it happened 3rd time lucky I had it upright and off we went 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted Friday at 15:53 Share Posted Friday at 15:53 Twice. First was my brothers rd250. Thought I was showing off to a couple of girls I knew by pulling away from the traffic light with lots of throttle but didn't have it in gear and fell over. Next was on the dirt going through brambles, when I stopped my feet were tried to the pegs and I fell over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've burped a baby but never a throttle I would venture a guess that it's a Canuckistan slang term for "Blipped".... guess that happens when a squad of queers drink too much & ride qwads in the snow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
