Drove my motorcycle to donate blood.When I was leaving the hospital the security arm at the gate went up then came right back down on my head.You know what they say"No good dead goes unpunished"

 

the kick stand got me good. i got my bike before i could ride it, talked the guy into driving it to my house. A few days later went out to sit on it and warm it up. The bike kept stalling, so I callled the guy and told him it was a peice of crap thant wont stay running. then came in to the house and read about the kick stand. I felt really really stupid.

 

this was my second time on my bike. was at a light in the left turning lane, light turns green, start to ease off the clutch.......dies...........start it up.....let off clutch ........dies.........by this time i am in the middle of the intersection, the other side turns green and here i am in their way stalling my bike lol...........turns out i was in 2nd gear lmao. ohh and that damn horn is in the wrong place lol

 

1.) hitting the horn every time I turn on the turn siginals
2.) trying to take off at a light in 3rd or 4th gear and wondering why its stalling
3.) getting gas and then trying to leave with kickstand down, ends of stalling of course
4.) unlocking the truck for some reason and then a few minutes later start looking for the key/s. Then after 5 minutes either rememeber the trunk or have someone point it out to you.
5.) Trying to find the 7th gear
6.) Wave to a fellow rider passing by while at a light in first gear, of course the bike dies

Here's one for 'ya...

Back in '92 I worked part time during the summer for the local Honda dealer selling bikes. I delivered a brand new 600F2 to a customers house...rolled it off the truck, started it up for him...showed him all of the basics...he gets on, pops the clutch and rides a wheelie into the back of his parked Cadillac. Almost 2k worth of damage to the bike alone. Don't know how much the new trunk lid/bumper cost on the Caddie. I know it's not funny, but i had to laugh...once I got in the truck and drove away. The guy said he had ridden bikes for a long time...NOT!

 

Lmao @ Johnny T`s post

I ran wide on a left hand bend on my first bike, totally Sh*t myself and came close to the oncoming traffic.

 

I stalled pulling out of the dealer lot. I also stalled in between two lanes at a red light. I stalled about 5 more times in the next two weeks at red lights. Luckilly, I don't stall anymore and I have made the switch from dirtbike take offs to street bike. I also almost freaked out in a parking lot when my 06 cbr wouldn't turn over. I knew it was in gear so I was holding in the clutch, after I pressed the button about 10 times I realized the kickstand was down.

Plus 1 on the blinker and I would constantly honk the horn embarrassing my noob self before my gloves were broken in and my thumb could move a little more freely.

 

What is the difference between a dirt bike take off and a street bike take off????

Thanks

yea i have deep holes in my driveway from leaving the bike on it during a hot day, lol. But one of my friends actually didnt strap the helmet to the back of their bike good enough. Yea it fell off and rolled down the street, lol it was a good laugh

 

I hit the throttle alot harder on a yz 125 than on my cbr. The main thing was the difference in the clutch and me being nervous and trying to take it easy.
