Having my bike for 3 months I’ve finally dropped my bike and infront of tescos in all places. I was waiting for my friend in car so she could direct me back to hers and she is a slow driver and turning the corner was just at creeping speed and a police car pulled up and I must of lost concentration. So I was outside following my girl, with a police car infront of me and loads of Tescos shoppers at entrace.
Anyway bike tipped a bit too much and the starts to fall along with me. Never felt so much embaressment in my whole life not only that but the engine was flooded and had to sit there trying to start it for 5 mins. Needless to say I didnt take my helmet off…
lol - your avatar says it all!
Just kidding, as long as youre fine - pride will repair itself.
once you have done it 2 or 3 times you get over it
dont worry mate
Everyone does it, don’t worry about it …
AH U WILL BE OK FELLA IVE DONE IT IN FRONT OFF LIKE 100 BIKERS AT RALLYS ETC AND EVEN GOT GROUNDED ON THE FILDS LOL:P
Happens to everyone - however experienced.
Ooops, a B&Q carpark on a sunday afternoon was my claim to fame. D’oh.
Yep, unfortunately we’ve all been there a few times – the embarrassment gets easier to handle but having to hang around because of a flooded engine can be mortifying!
I did it in front of my block of flats, at ultra-low speed, right in front of one of my neighbours.
He stood there and shook his head slowly. I’ll never forget the expression of pity on his face - he looked at me like I was a halfwit as I rolled about in the road with my bike on its side.
Then he went into his house.
falling off in front of strangers is bad, but falling off in front of ya mates is worse
remember to always remove disc lock before leaving pub carpark… not
