Pull into a gas station, and creeping up to the pump head on. Had to slowly turn right....slightly hit the front brake, bam, bike starts falling right the hell over. Caught it with my leg and got it back up. Look back and there was a small chunk missing from the ground, must have hit it while turning.

Had an audience, too. Cute chick at one pump, other rider at another pump(squid though). I felt like a real winner.

Probably the furthest I've leaned my bike over...unfortunately not the way I've intended. Now my leg is sore, dammit. Got stuck in the rain, too!

Ok, that was a pointless thread. So I now leave you with possibly the strangest flash animation I've ever seen:

I tipped my bike over 4 times today........but I was planning on it happening. Was out practicing tight turns at low speed in a parking lot. Tipped it 4 times, but managed to catch it *JUST* before the handlebar/fairing hit the ground. Mostly what stopped it was that my arm finally fully extended and my back/arm stopped it. lol

And quite honestly.........it was my 4th time riding.

And I saw the black cloud coming, along with the bright, long, white streaks of lightning, and managed to turn around, and just as I pulled the U-turn to head home, I got caught by a gust of wind that damn near sent me completely airborn.

yup, been there done that... w/ an audience, too. Hell, i've even dropped my bike in the parkin lot of MotoMarket right in front of a rider audience of about 8 people, including a few fellow NESR members.... but i wasn't able to save it from hittin the ground. TIMMMMBBERRRRRRR!!!!!

Well hey, welcome to the world of riding!

I noticed the black clouds and lighting when I got ON the highway on my way to my 30 minute away destination. Said "f##k it," I didn't feel like turning around to get my car.

Ya'll are a bunch of storm chasers.

good thing those vfr's are so light huh i think we've all been there.

[sahd03]

Indeed, Indeed.... we've all knocked 'em over, tipped 'em over, dropped 'em... and we all feel dumb for doing it...

...especially when you ride a Kawasaki with those DUMB stalk-style blinkers that stick out WAY too far, which get busted up every damn time.... I've replaced both sides... one side TWICE... and the nephew is replacing one as we speak... stoopid blinkers...

so yeah.... at least you SAVED IT!

[FazerChic]

Here's a good laugh for all of you.....

The first day I had my bike, I rode it around my yard. "Yeah! This is fun", I think to myself. Little did I know I ran over dog poop.

Onto the driveway I turn...hit the brake....and BAM! Down I went. I laughed so hard!!
OOPS!!

this is teh ghey on so many levels.

first off, one can be of male gender or related to you in order to provide sexual favors?

secondly, this is worded as optional. any of the above persons mentioned "MAY" substitute for said favors? so if a person of male gender is held liable, you will accept gay buttsex from that person?

WTF is up with that flash animation

Pretty weird. Had to share it. "The nettles make the milk come out from my teat."

Bump909, I was going to point out the same thing. "May substitute." Is the substitute even preferred? Oreo, your sexuality is being questioned a lot lately, eh? Or is it even questionable???

If you haven't been laid for as long as oreo you would use the word "may substitute" also. Just to make yourself feel better after such an act has taken place.

Don't know if you're aware or not but frame sliders are intended to protect the frame when the bike is sliding. Sometimes they'll help other parts from breaking but not much.

no thats not true. they ae supposed to protect the bike. your fail because you are going 30 mph faster than you should be and when the slider hits the dirt it digs in and bends making it useless

they dont work very well in the dirt/gravel but on asphault they work great

Ain't that a bitch? Audiences suck, esp. w/ there are cute girls watching. Your story reminds me of those old SNL skits with Chris Farely just tripping over sh*t and acting clumsey.

Anyway, I got my leather pant leg stuck on my side-stand once. Friend and g/f watching. Leaned it over about 45 degrees before my leg was freed and saved it from the impending doom that was the ground.

True. Otherwise they would be called plastic sliders, eh?
