Do you have any funny motorcycle stories?

Question

Like these -
I had a regular customer. Every time he got a tune up, he asked for his old spark plugs. One day I asked him, "What do you do with all your old plugs?" He said, "Before I go for a ride, I put some in my pocket. Whenever some jerk cuts me off, I throw a spark plug at their car. They make nice dents!" LOL

Here's another -
I was doing an inspection on this guys bike. He was a short guy in his late 60's. I saw a bicycle hand grip, on a lever, next to his seat. I asked him, "What's that? A parking brake?" He pushed me aside, grabbed the hand grip and pulled a 2 foot long piece of pipe out of a leather sheath. While waving the pipe over his head, he said, "Whenever some a-- hole cuts me off, I smash their car with this!" LOL

Answer 1

I had a friend that bought a Husqvarna dirt bike. He found out the hard way that the engine could run backwards. When the bike was new, he was going to show me a wheelie. He fired it up, and it suddenly sputtered and backfired, and then kicked in. He revved it up, leaned forward in anticipation of the Gs, and dumped the clutch. The bike shot back between his legs and he went over the 'bars. I was blowing snot bubbles trying to keep from laughing.

Answer 3

A few years ago I was at a shop that was heavily into off-roading. Along with the hard core enthusiasts that made up our core customer base, we also had the usual amount of squid traffic.

One of the more common spodely remarks said in an effort to impress us was to let us know that the squidmobile had a powerband installed. A flash of true brilliance struck me one day. The whole point was to make a visual display that would hopefully get some attention and cause a little brain engagment on the squids part before they put thier mouths in motion.

I took a small piece of peg board and some small hooks. I got a bag of large multi colored rubberbands and hung the proper colored ones from the hooks, along with a discription under each one. I don't remember exactly how I worded each one, but as an example, under the orange one was written "Good broad power, works well in the woods." The red one was something like "SX style power, good mid range hit." There were simular things written under the yellow, green and blue rubber bands, plus to carry the joke out that much further I hung a pink colored one on the board and labeled it for "powder puff riders"

A guy came in one day running his mouth big time, he was a 'racer' and knew what he was doing... Kept telling us that "He raced" so he knew this, that and the other. His bike had all the latest hop up parts...well, for a then 10 year old mx bike anyway. Then the magic words came out... He had a 'high performance powerband" in it. I showed him the board, he studied it for a while and said he'd take one!

I fixed him right up. He picked the blue one, I charged him $9.95 for it and told him if he had any problems installing it to give me a call.

In all honesty, if he'd have come back I would have been glad to have given him his money back, but as you might expect we never heard from him again.

Answer 4

I was riding my motorcycle down a flight of stairs, showing off for some girl... I didn't realize that the recent rain had made the lower walkway slick with moss, and when I tried to stop and turn at the bottom, I fell over and got dragged 20 feet.

After that, I never tried to show off on my motorcycle again -- and there's a 20-foot long gouge in the Orange Walk at Caltech where my right tail light was dragging.

Answer 5

Once while on a ride with the Goldwing club we stopped along 99 to wait for my friend to catch up. When I looked back my right foot slipped out and down we went .

Answer 6

lol not msure if these count or not but my mom used to work for Indian motorcycles in Gilroy Ca. so you can imagine the storys from there from both regular customers and celeberties.

well one thats comming to mind is when Dan Akroid ordered a few bikes for a charity event. he ordered them "Mary kay pink" it was so bad that the test riders "being big time hard core bikers" were screaming that they did NOT wanna go out in public with these bikes.... then ended up pulling straws to see who would test it. the one that lost got laughed at so bad he almost crashed a few times

another time was when one of the secretarys accidently hung up on Evel Knievel's son Robbie. See Robbie was calling trying to get a free bike outta indian because he thought he was som big shot celeberty and deserved it. it was terrible but everyone got a good laugh at him. he sounded so pathedic crying for one when a week before he did the same thing to the compitition bad mouthing indian.

Answer 7

i was driving by a golf coarse an got hit in the head by a golf ball had a helmet on so it was kinda funny
i worked at a shop once a customer rode in on a bike. he got off and ask me if we sell exhaust pipes but i couldn't understand his language so he walked over to his bike and grabbed the front of his exhaust with his bare hands. burnt them pretty good
instead of spark plugs he should use pebbles

Answer 8

I've only driven a motorcycle once and I never will again. I was trying to brake but I accidentally floored the gas and ran right into a parked car. There were black wheel marks and handlebar scrapes across the whole passenger side door. It was a piece of crap car but the lady had a coronary. NEVER AGAIN will I ride a motorcycle!!

Answer 9

My neighbor was riding a british bike and mistook the clutch for the brake right before entering a tight corner. Made it through but had to change his pants when he got home.

Answer 10

I'll usually put a roll of pennies in my pocket when I ride. When someone cuts me off or side swipes me, I'll pull out in front of them, reach into my pocket and grab a hand full of pennies then throw them right at the car.....
