Falling into a hedge while trying to do a U-turn, when practising for my DAS...

Then, once I had been helped out of the hedge by my mate and my instructor, failing to be able to start the bike again, having forgotten I'd flicked the kill switch.

Stalling a 125 in the middle of a busy roundabout on my CBT...
Good times!

As a noob - I fitted my baffle to quieten it down a bit before an MOT and stuck some earplugs in, neither of which I normally did at the time. As I was leaving my house I noticed the GF's dad was in the car behind me, I got stage fright and pissed off into the distance.

At a busy roundabout GF's old man caught up and was waiting behind me. Anxious to get going, but unable to hear the engine I ended up stalling the bike. In my fluster I managed to knock it out of gear so sat there revving with not a lot happening until I did the foot shuffle and knocked it back into gear.

Not one of my greater moments.

[Notj7]

Went on a night out, didn't have anything to drink obviously, went outside at 3am and got on my CBR 125, tried to wheelie... and the chain snapped.

Everyone was watching, I had to push it 2 hours home with a hard push every time the snapped part of the chain went round. What a tit!

Next day I posted pics on here actually wondering what'd gone wrong...

I have to say, I was quite embarrassed a few weeks ago when I struggled to get my bike parked. I was with the lady. Kicked her off before I rode into the parking bit. It was a lovely Saturday morning, so the bike park was full. Tried to squeeze in between a 600 and a 'ped. Must have wheeled the thing in and out twenty times. The hairy Harley crew just stood there watching me.

Looked like I was trying to make babies with the parking space, the flaps being a Peugeot Vivacity and Kwak 600. Eventually dumped my load and hoped for the best.

mine has got to be running out of fuel 2 miles from the nearest petrol station which was all up hill.
I got some funny looks, a sweaty biker huffing and puffing through town dripping with sweat.

Binning the bike half a mile from home, in sight of my parents and some family, on icy and snowy roads.

I think I did well to make it half a mile in those conditions though, on a CBR125 with Pilot Sporty tyres.

Riding it down the alleyway right next to my house a week after I bought it so I could park it on the pavement right outside the house.

Had to make a tight 90* turn at the end of the alley, the playpark full of kids heard me roar down the alleyway and then fall off at 1mph as I made the tight turn.

Felt like a right prick, all the kids running over asking if I'm all right. Put my back out lifting it off the floor too.

[Islander]

I can think of two.

Not long after I passed my test in the 70s. Riding up to my house and pulling up onto the pavement outside at too shallow an angle and tipping the bike over in front of my Dad.

Pulling away from a bike parking space in London in the 80s in front of a bunch of couriers, expecting to go in a straight line but curving gracefully to the left and then toppling over. Forgot to take the steering lock off.

Whoops.

False neutral. Usually when I'm accelerating away from the lights. This isn't something that's happened once or twice, I do it nearly once every few times I go out on the bike I really need to kick it up harder.

[P.addy]

[GREENI3]

Filtering up to the front of a que of traffic at the lights, then realizing none of the traffic lights were in my view.

Upon realizing my mistake (and hoping no-one waiting behind me had noticed), I decided to set off pronto without knowing the colour of the lights and praying that a car wasn't going to suddenly emerge from the side road and t-bone me.

[GrumpyGuts]

Standing up to fart. I get really gassy at times, but this motherfucker just didn't want to come out. I stood on the foot pegs whilst riding, let rip, and a copper passed me. Luckily he never pulled me over

Regent Street, London's West End.

Hot summer day, so there's zillions of beautiful people about, but there's just been a flash shower, so the roads are wet.

Filtering between two cars on my Z13, I do a 90 left to carry on up the middle of the road and the back wheel hits a damp manhole cover.

I go down like a sack of shit, which is bad enough, in front of a huge crowd, but then I can't pick it up and have to ask for help

Filtering to the front of a long line of cars waiting at temporary traffic lights. The lights have to let all the oncoming cars pass before they change so I knew there would be a long wait. Dropped the bike into neutral and put the stand down, just vibing to my music.

Last of the cars come past and I'm ready to go, stand the bike up, out of neutral, bike dies. Stalled. Hold clutch in, try start it again, nothing. Neutral, start, revs... working, 1st gear dead. By this point the cars are pushing past me and the lights have turned red again.

I push the bike to the side of the road and instantly remember the stand was down Wheeled it backwards, still at the front of the queue which had re-formed behind me and waited for the lights to turn green feeling like a retard.

Lights turn green, SHOT OFF. Got a good fair way down the road before I realised there was a police car with his lights on following me. Pulled up... told me I should take it to the moors if I wanted to kill myself and left me on my way.
