Did something similar when I was 20 and just got a XS 250 Yamaha as my first bike ( much to the disaproval of my father who hadn't wanted me to get a motorcycle even though he had ridden numerous bikes over the years :dunno: ), came roaring up the street at about 70 kmh and then coasted onto the front lawn at about 30 kmh and grabbed a big handfull of front brake, front washed out on me and spat me onto the lawn right in front of my father:xm . Luckily no damage to the bike apart from some minor scratches - the old man just shook his head and went back inside - very embarrasing to say the leastsh1tehppns :xm !lumpy said:

Tried to do a U turn at the end of a cul-de-sac which was on a steep slope, realised I wouldn't make it so stopped. Foot didn't reach the ground so fell down :tosser:
Only mitigation was this was 28 years ago and I was on my first set of 'L' plates:dunno:

My stupidest crash was in the cage, we had a bright orange Marina estate at the time, I got up one sunday morning & was going for a newspaper, got into the car half asleep reversed up the drive straight into the brother in laws escort estate, I forgot he had been staying over.

Riding a BM R1100RT (283kg - 1/4 ton) across a grass slightly rutted meadow, as the missus was St.Johning at a scramble... got to where she was stationed, though I'd turn the bike around ready for the off, all well and aware of the pit falls.... inching it round with both feet on the ground, left foot went into a fecking hole, the bike forced my legs apart, I just managed to hold it but with the weight on one leg I could'nt move or get off to lift the bike upright.... had to shout to get the missus to help support the bike so I could get off and lift it back up..... She could'nt hear me because of the racing, as she was in the SJ Ambulance.... Not wanting to draw attention to myself, or let the bike fall over, sweat running down my face and back.... I had to hold the fecking tank up for 6 minutes until the race ended and she could hear my call for assistance - by which time every one else had also.... I stayed for 10 minutes and fecked off.

Following a slow moving car on my 250 Honda superdream with "L" plates, get to a straight part of road, go for the overtake, car speeds up too, determined to get past I open it up and as I'm just pulling in ahead of the car realise the left turn coming up is the one I want, I'm turning left no matter what! Brakes, throw it into junction far to fast, hit gravel in centre of junction and follow bike into ditch on the other side. As I sit up dazed and scuffed the car goes past, the woman toots her horn and waves!!! w;;v

Tried to do a U turn with a disclock on the front wheel - right outside my mum's house - hit the deck very slowly! Boy, did I get the piss taken out of me!

When I took my DAS bike test my instructor told me to have just less than half a tank of fuel and to put my CB500 onto reserve. After passing my test I followed my instructor back to the training centre ( scared as shit coz i'd never riden like that before). I stopped outside the training centre and tried to turn the fuel tap back onto on from reserve, I didn't know which way to turn it so leant over to see better and ended up with the bike on top of me. I felt such a twat. :tosser:
allways better with an audience!!,
the best wheelie i ever did was on a puch maxi,that would have been my best accident but i never hit anything in a 300 yard unstoppable wobble,hanging on for grim death,broke the number plate off too,prob was it wasn't my bike it was on a main road and i was about 14.

roundabout 1971/72ish I went to a friends house & his mate was there, his mate had his bike test the next day on a Honda C70 he let me have a go I was wearing two tone oxford bags & platform shoes I got to the top of the road & went to put my foot on the floor but I had caught my trousers on the bike & promptly fell off, luckily nobody saw me but when I got back the first question I was asked was "Did you just have an accident?" I asked them how they knew as the bike was undamaged then I saw the big rip down my trouser leg.
