April 2, 2005 at 10:08 am #24617GSX RatParticipantre riding school – doing my cbt they threatened to fail me for doing the u turn and the cone slalom thing stood on the pegs (i’ve been trialling for years) and not sitting on the seat!
Most embarassing moment – suppose its got to be bike related – big hill (think nearly vertical!) about 60 foot, load of us on the triallies going up it one by one. All finally mastered it so out came the camcorder. Beautiful, one by one everyone gets up cept me – tyre lost traction about 10 foot from the top, down i come, followed by bike…. Bout half way down bike caught up with me and we went down together, them exhausts aint half hot.. So, gets to the bottom in a whole heap of pain trying to stand up and pull my now red hot trials leggings down to get them off my skin. Cut to shot of some bleeding, bruised idiot running round swearing with trousers round his ankles. Actually not that embarassing, more funny but hurt for weeks after……
And, no – i wont post the video…..I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.

LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!

OOh and an incident last week at the hospital when I didn`t think they`d ask me to strip but they did cos they wanted to examine my hip and groin and I wasn`t wearing any knickers (the shame!)

April 2, 2005 at 5:36 pm #24622DiggerParticipantwell it was oulton park last year,me and the lads had booked a track day,everythig was goin great until the last session when I out breaked myself goin into Hizzys Chiccane.I had to go straight onto the grass,but grass was wet,you guessed it,dabbed back brake,went down like a bag of sh..e.Managed to save bike though by hanging onto it and wrappen my legs round it.I turned round to see a marshal running towards me I thought oh no please dont red flag it,but it was ok,the only damage done was to the grass,I didn`t know I could plough in staight lines.
Take it easy out there

April 2, 2005 at 6:32 pm #24624imperialdataKeymasterNot my most embarrassing for sure, but trying to take my advanced RAC riding test on my Honda SS50 (remember them?) and failing it in the first 2 minutes because the instructor noticed I had a bent frame. He didn’t really need to call everybody over to look at this example of a bike unfit for the road but he certainly did. Went on to take my RAC exams up to instructor level then laughed my ass off when Mr ‘call everybody’ was being assessed by me 2 years later and he failed. I still maintain he hit that cone twice.
Other red cheek moment for me was the end of a long day at college, hopped on the bike, past the main doors where all my classmates were coming out, cool wave of the hand, leaned back, revved the engine, slipped the clutch and……the chain fell off.
Never had a slack chain or a bent frame since!

April 6, 2005 at 9:23 pm #24628speedy claireParticipantYears ago I parked my car in a multi storey car park in Liverpool city centre and when I came back 2 hours later it was gone…. I reported it to the police as being stolen and rang my husband (now ex) to come and get me. He rang me 30 mins later to say the police had just pulled him up for driving a stolen car and would i please explain to the nice policemen that we`d swapped cars that morning and that his alpha romeo which I`d been driving would probably be where i`d left it in the multi storey and it was……….. oops!!
