ridiculous crouton ups....

ew.... i had a similar accident one day as a teenager, we were out & about as usual, fkin about like you do, when i suddenly got caught short in the middle of nowhere....
i'd had a bad case of the squits so had to go there & then.
i went behind a grassy hill and picked some big dock leaves, jeans down and emptied my butt in 1/2 a second.... dropped a 2 litre curry mc flurry
took half a step forward to use the dock leaves and slipped on the grass, sliding down the hill in my own steaming sh1t, smeared all up my back

had to walk past all my mates who thought it was hilarious.
theyve never let me forget it

benny, that mde me spit my coffee

serves you right for drinking the foul substance.
contributing to 3rd world exploitation, breath like Clifford.
coffee drinkers are in the same league as intravenous bagheads imo

Riding down the street on my RD50,spotted a girl on the pavement I really used to fancy called Tracy........I thought lets do a massive stoppie that will impress her, so from the maxxed out straight line speed of 38mph I jammed on the front brake, front wheel locked up shot out to the right and I face planted into the black stuff! God it hurt (no decent riding kit)

P.S It must have impressed her though as I hopped in bed with her a year later

Think we have all been there or very close, bike or car

No, can't remember ever having a Tracy......

Must be just me that missed out.

Did a corker today!!
Only managed to drop the bike whilst on the Bikesafe course with South Yorks Police.
It was more of a lay down than a drop, very slow speed on u turn still felt a right tw*t but luckily no damage at all
As for the Bikesafe day..Excellent You can always learn something and great value for £50.
Big thanks to Ian and the rest of South Yorks Police motorcycle division for a great day

dont feel so bad m8, i am still sh1t at u turns. on the storm anyway.
trap my hands on the tank and had a few scrapes where ive nearly gone over.

not with plod watching tho lol!

[tony.mon]

Did you explain to the Plod that you normally spin up the rear and power it round, but were behaving yourself today?

I nearly had a serious wombles up yesterday, only my mates observation saved me from a nasty fate!

I had just come back from a "spirited" 150mile ride round some serious windy A roads, too many cars, but lots of full throttle overtakes followed by full braking to scrub all the speed off, either to pull back into the line of cars, or for some good bends.

Well, we got to the fuel stop, and having a chin wag as he smokes a ciggy, and he points at my front brake lever.................the pivot bolt was sitting up 10mm above the face of the master cyl, and was only 2 threads away from comming out!

I dread to think of the consequences if it had come out on those roads, grabbing a big hand full of front brake....... and nothing........into the back of a car or through a drystone wall and into a tree no doubt.

That is one problem going to the old CBR600 master cylinder, the pivot bolt is hidden behind the resovoir when you are riding, so I couldnt see it from the saddle.........its got a new nut fitted and it is loctited as well.

I have promised him free beer for life, he probabaly saved mine

Today I was a lucky boy!

He did have a big smile and also shared my experience with everyone back at the de-brief

Lots of piss taking and suggested my certificate was printed in 'landscape' so I could see it better when I was horizontal with the bike on top of me.

Where abouts in Barnsley are you Steve?

I live at Stairfoot-also did my Bike Safe with SYP last month. Ace day. Didn't manage to drop mine though Did loose a exhaust hanger bolt and my tax disc holder/disc on the way

[steveb137]

Not far from you, Park Grove. Opposite Locke Park

[Jbrebel]

Might see you about. Mines a red/black SP1 with carbon Microns.

Is that your bike on your Avatar?

I'll keep my eye's peeled.
