Top work fella!!!!
Embarassing motorcycling moments you've had.
i went for my license just after the three months on my Ls was up. full day course at HART. went to lunch at westfield and on the way back to complete the course and test got target lock, forgot how turn and break at the same time and went gravel surfing just b4 the start of a median strip. lost the front and binned the zx2.
worst part was, we'd just learnt how to break and corner, and had revisited target lock that morning. rode the wreck back to HART and tried to explain what the fuck happened.
still got my license that day though

Trying to be a smart ass on my RGV and come up to a group of mates, on a dusty road, and lock the rear and slightly slide towards them.
Locked the rear, bike slid, and i went about 50ft in the air.

Another one:
Getting caught speeding. Mates pull over up the road to wait for you.
Taking off in a shit house mood, accelerating hard, only to speed into a second radar 300 m later up the road.
2 fines in 2 minutes. 700$ later.

One day I highsided and landed on my family jewels where the seat meets the fuel tank OUCH. Must be with the panic and heart beating I didn't realise how bad it was when it happened so i rode home. I was hurting but I thought it'd go away, unfortunately it got worse and worse, by the end of the second day I started walking like I was raped by an ape so I went to a hospital, mind you I didn't have 2 kids and a wife than so it was serious stuff. Anyway they told me to put the white gown on and wait in the room, so i'm waiting and waiting and the door opens BAM asian apprentice doctor, not bad lookin either so she says i'll check you starts playing around, and I've never really been that confused in my life, as to whether junior waking up is a good thing or a bad thing in a situation like this, anyway i'm biting my lips cause anaconda is pretty happy having a good time but it's the nuts that are unhappy and don't want party so after messing for a while she couldn't figure it out so she says i'll call the doctor. Waiting again, BAM door opens blond aussie doctor, again she's young and ok looking and she says she'll have to check also to see for herself, again i'm sweating biting my lips so hard that they really hurt but the doctor must be more experienced towards anaconda attacks coz she keeps squeezing the nuts where it hurts and gives me a reality check, finally she said since there is no pyhsical damage or bruising, it should be ok in few days, which it did but the experience was something out of a Ben Stiller movie and my friend in the waiting room had a great time, telling all our mates about it.

I was riding through the nasho many years ago when I came around a corner to find an L plater lying on the road with his GPX under the barrier 
. In a controlled panic I hit the front brake to stop and assist. I braked on the gravel patch he had spewed onto the road from his crash and I ended up sliding down the road into the barrier. 
By the time I had got up and dusted myself off the bastard started his bike and road off 
leaving me to explain to my mates why I had crashed and where the L plater was.........

hahahahahaha
Ninjas story reminded me... I smacked me nuts hard (up the back of a car, long story, actually NOT my fault this time). Gets home (hours later) and strip to shower and I have almost cut my dick off it wasnt my cods AFTER all eh?
After I woke up on the floor I rush to the hospital. And all THEY are worried about is my pelvis because if I hit that hard (my dick) then there is a fair chance it may be broken. The nurse is laughing at my penii concerns... "You guys and your dicks..." (BITCH )
Apparenlty your mouth and your tackle are reapaired VERY quickly by your body.. and yep it was right to go in a few weeks... amazing considering the damage at the time. Concencus was that the button my jeans caused the damage

Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD
AND the time I found out not to mono my 12 with the last fuel bar flashing as the motor cuts out COMPLETELY at 45 deegrees.
Nuts into tank, helmet into screen and a nice wobble as well.....
And I dont know HOW many missed gear changes on the back wheel on my 7, I dont know what hurts more the engine valve bounce or the inevitable smacked nuts.... it has about a 4 inch foam pad now

MotoGP 2005, it's Friday lunchtime in Highside campground and we've been drinking since 10am. A certain beautiful lady has run outta juice at the site entry and we're all on a rescue mission. First the car is sent, but calls us saying there is no towrope. I scrounge one off neighbouring campers and throw it in the top box of my 600. Being a show off I decide to leave at full noise, and being drunk and on grass sweep the bike a full 270 degrees and lay it down happily on its side with me standing up beside it. No idea how I got off so easily, and even less idea how I failed to do any damage at all.
Many moons ago, when I was young and even more stupid than I am now. We used to ride motox in the local woods (300m from my front door). My bike is in for repairs, so I walk up to watch everybody else. It's a hot day and mid 80s, so I'm wearing canvas shoes and Bermuda shorts. After an hour or so my mate Dan asks if I want a go on his new RM250 (87 model so must have summer of 88). I willingly accept and power off around the track we’d built. Half way round is a 90 degree right, a ditch and sweeping right. I’m used to riding a 125, which needs just a jab on the throttle and it pops the front over the ditch. I exit the 90 degree right on the 250, jab the throttle and mono over the ditch and straight past the sweeper and into the trees. The 250 leans neatly against a tree and I fly over the bars, leaving my Bermuda shorts hanging on a branch as I pass.

Mate and I decide to take a dirt bikes for a Saturday ride, on a track we`re never been on before. we come to this mother of a down hill,rutted,loose rock and {un be knowns to us at the time} a 2 foot drop of 1/2 way down.
I say I`ll go first,so Im going down,rear tyre just locking now and again,when I see the drop off,I jump on the rear brake and use as much front as I can to stop . I just manage to stop .Hmmm icouldnt turn round or get off ,only option is to take the drop off 
.I ease the front over and just as the bash plate bottoms I ease some throttle when all hell breaks loose 
.Its about now that gravity takes overs,that right the back got light and over we went cart wheeling into a tree,took me about 10 minutes to get the bike un stuck {all the time my mate is on our little UHF`s,hurry up and laughing} So i get the bike to the bottom finally,tell him to wait I`ll walk up and stand on the edge and point to him a diffrent line to take
Well not to be out done my mate decides he`s going to give the drop off a go.He gets to it and decides to wheelie over it .he did exactly what I did except the wheelie made it worse.His bike wedged between some tree`s,took about 40 minutes to get it out. where where both sore the next day
Another time with the same mate out the back of Thornton Industrial Estate doing some jumps,we come across what looks like a perfect dirt mound for a take of that would land you onto a flat buildt up pad and we could then short cut it back to the streets home. Mate finish`s his smoke and we turn around to give this jump ago,again Im first hit it in 2nd gear take off sucess,mid air I get to see what "should" be the landing area ,but there is nothing there ,the landing is 6 feet further on .Ended up front wheel straigh into the front of the ramp,front of helmut into the bars,goggles pushed back and broke my glasses frame ,cutting my nose,pushed my forks back like a banana,and I ended up going over the hangers.I stood up and colasped,My mate said he saw me colaspe and just gave it to his bike ended up jumping over me and my bike,landing 15feet past us,droped his bike and came back to me,called a ambo,organised for bike to be picked up,while I was taken to hospital for a check up.
Took the bikes along Stockton beach for a run,was down in the wet sand,skimming along when right infront of the ranger a freak wave came in and knocked us off,drowning the bike,ranger`s came over said that was the funniest thing he`d seen in years
,never even asked for our permits,just asked for our own protection to ride out the back of the dunes,he didnt was the 4x4 people getting freaked by our antics/racing (plus riding over the beach speed limit).Asked what time we thought we would be leaveing.When it came time to leave he was there and helped us load the bikes on,had a extra 40 minute chat,was told of the best areas to ride {less people} but we never went back ,bloody sand wears out your bike too much.
We have both decidied to sell our dirt bikes 2 years ago before we killed each other . im just trying to convince his missus to let him get a road bike
