c`mon guys! dish the dirt!

...ohhhh...so many to choose from!!!!

I have had so many embarrassing situations on bikes - that I suppose I'll satrt with the last one....

...Coming home the other week, after being out late on a Friday night, I pulled my bike into the area in front of my bike garage, which has a block of council flats above it. I usually kill my engine when I go in there and coast up to the garage in order not to wake up the residents (yes...I can be thoughtful too sometimes!!!)

... this night there was a very cute resident bringing in her baby from the car.... so I killed my engine a little bit early in order not to wake the baby (ok.... and impress her with my caring nature too!!!)

Let's just say that I was so busy looking at her attributes that as I turned the bike to stop, get off and reverse it into my garage... I caught my boot on the footpeg on the way down.

And I mean down!.... I slowly keeled over in total silence... just as she turned round to see what I was doing..... to fall on my side....just managing to roll away from the bike....

I didn't want to be seen grunting and straining to pick up the monster (it's bloody heavy!)...so I kept my helmet on to hide my face...opened my garage.... and hid in there until she had gone..... leaving the bike lying on the floor...imagine my surprise when she popped her head round the door because "she was worried whether I had hurt myself"!!!!.....because she KNEW ME!!! (from the neighborhood) and thought something "must be up" cos I was such an "experienced" rider!

I tried to explain "That this thing always happened to me, was totally normal, (well it is!!) and I was trying not to wake her baby"..... but somehow I don't think I managed to carry it off convincingly!!!!

She said I was "sweet" and went upstairs.......all over....oh no....not for me!!!!....as I was struggling to pick the bike up off the floor in a very unmanly way....I heard a voice above me....yep....she had been watching me from upstairs all the time.... and asked if I needed a hand!!!!

Needless to say....That was all the strength I needed to lift the bike in one ungainly movement and wheel it into the garage.....

.... haven't seen her since

my mate daz got his blade out of his garage last year. when he went to ride off nothing happened. try as he might he couldn`t get the bike to go in any gear. so he got the RAC out. when the RAC took a look, the guy pissed himself laughing and pointed out that his chain had been stolen

i told my mate harley too do an oil and filter change on his huskymoto. the next day he wrote the engine off. did you change the oil and filter. "yes and no" he said. "i put new oil in but i cleaned the oil filter". "what did you clean it with?" i asked. "fairy washing up liquid" says he!

a guy i know called Ed cleaned the back wheel of his bandit with cillit bang.

his wheel melted!

well i did say freinds were all fair game!

Phil · AWOL ZX12R Rocket Rider

When I first got my 12R, I was so wary of the throttle response that I kept stalling it everywhere. This is especially bad when you've just filtered to the front at traffic lights, positioned yourself in front of everyone, got ready for a fast get-away and ... stalled ... makes you feel like such a twat!

One time I did it, the van behind me ran into the back of my bike ... he pulled away, and my bike was stationary ... luckily it was only a light bump and no damage was done.

Funster · AWOL GPZ Ryder

Winter of 1977 I think it was, I was riding an RD 250 at the time, and Kingshill Avenue in Northolt was frozen over. Mate of mine called Perry decided he wanted to try new type of ski-ing; he grabbed the luggage rack on my RD, and proceeded to have me tow him down the road, using just his bare shoes as ski's.

Was all goind swimmingly at around 25-30MPh or so, until he hit a patch of road with no ice, just before the left hand bend on the road, and as I went round the bend he went straight on instead, his feet hit the kerb, and bang he landed in sum buggers front garden, battered and bruised.....never laffed so much in my life, lol

Firestarter · AWOL Olskool

Funster · AWOL GPZ Ryder

Nah, Belray I used to use, smelt like rotten eggs to anyone unlucky enough to be stuck behind you, lol

Marlon Bikestrobe · BIKESTROBE

Was doin a rollin burnout past a big crowd at the ace last month, as I got to the main part of the crowd, the bike stopped. I rolled to the side and realised I had run out of petrol, twat.

Squeaky · Rogue GSXR Stunter

Funsters son managed to 12 his 125 the other day and smashed his rear light.... still not really sure how you can 12 a 125 but still thats further than i can get it up lol

Firestarter · AWOL Olskool

my mate bully flipped a minimoto. the bike went up in the air, but he didn`t let go. broke both wrists

. we phoned the ambulance............after we got tired of laughing and pointing.

Joe · Awol Off Roader

i was wheelieing my pushbike into an alley where i saw 2 girls(both nice) and a few of my mates, so i stood up coastered towards them, with one finger on the brake, as i was braking the lever wouldnt come past the other four fingers and it slowly went, 11oclock, 12 oclock, 1 oclock, bang. LOL

Then last night, was flying on my pushbike to a local bike meet, and saw one of the girls again and a boy. I have metal peddles and i drag them to kick up sparks, Took it wider than normal to get more sparks for them, and it dug in spat the back wheel round, and low slided me off. Again, they didnt laugh(dont know why know one laughs when i stack it) and i just spoke to them an went. My left arm is completely road rashed from touching down at about 20 mph and dragging

Firestarter · AWOL Olskool

was looking at that pic of you standing on your bike joe. you must of done some serious testicle damage learning that one

my mate big daz won two mountain bikes i the local rag. he thought it would be funny too ride past his wife and pull her brake, so he did. she slid up the frame. problem is they route the cables along the top of the cross bar. she had alot of stitches down there. and that plonker did see any action for a long time! what a donut! still makes me cringe today

Joe · Awol Off Roader

no lol never even crashed like that, few close uns though.

Yeah i pull my mates brakes in all the time lol, then one day, i was doing one handed standin up, just rolling, and one of them pulled my back brake, and i went forward and hit nuts into stem lol lesson learnt now

Your mate sounds like he had pleading to do lol

Impressin the ladies always causes trouble..

My m8 pulled a wheelie on his gsxr750 2 impress 2 hotties walkin along the road he got it up alright, and they noticed him and gave a wave.. at that point he tried to bring it back down, but did it too hard, he almost went over the handlebars, n pop'd his fork seals.. they'd only been changed less than a wk b4, the girlies pissed themselves laughin and he didn't try that 1 4 a while.. lol..

When i first started riding about 6 years ago, i had a wicked little nsr 125!!!

was getting a bit full of myself and when i was riding through finchley down the back roads past the park i noticed some guys walking down the road!

thought yeah.. lets take this corner low n fast! make them look!!!

well all was going fine til i got half way round the bend (wasn't that sharp) but i'd taken it wide to get faster n lower!!! anyway, i hadn't been down this road for about 2 months, and in that time the council had put a speed bump right after the corner!!!

well, think you can guess the rest.... and the blokes were not impressed!!!!!

a few years later when i got my r6 i was visiting my mate at barnet general after he'd come off his bike!

pulled up on the pavement, went to put my foot on the floor and there was no floor!

i'd pulled up too close to the edge and thud... me and r6 went down!!!

and i must thank marlon for sortin out a new brake lever quickly after that 1!!!!!! xxxx

a year later when i had my gsxr 600, i was chasing a fireblade through london with my mate on the back.... it was pulling away so i decided to down gear n go for it.... not realising i was in 3rd!!! thought i was in 4th!!! did the most amazing wheelie (for me anyway!) total fluke mind, scared the shit outts me (and my passenger!!!) so after that it was a slow ride home... though it must av looked good, the blade got away!
