I met a guy couple of weeks back, he had his bike idling in his drive and was just going out...we got into conversation and the subject of taking the motorcycle test came up. Now in case you dont know, in the UK you can do a three day course that includes the test for around the £400.00 mark..SO you do not want to fail........
This guy, (poor sod) was taking his test...it was raining and he had (foolishly?) chose to wear a one piece waterproof... Well before the "emergency stop" was due to happen, he was riding through a built up area and a little girl stepped out fom between two parked cars....he saw her just in time and anchored on in a total "emergency stop" fashion.
He slid allong the seat and smashed his gonads on the tank (it wasnt a cb750 I might add)... He flicked the side stand down and jumped off..at the same time as jumping up and down holding his nads whilst loudly yelling "me nuts , me nuts" ( in front of said little girl who was now even more terrified) He was inwardly congratulating himself at the effectiveness of the emergency stop.
On returning to the test centre he said his nuts were still aching, but worse, he failed his test, because when that incident happened and he jumped off his bike, he had left his indicator on... obviously an oversight due to exceeding his personal pain threshold....bashed nuts and four hundred quid poorer all due to sliding along the seat caused by a one piece waterproof having no grip on his bike seat....
I am unsure as to whether this is more funny or less funny than M.magennis's tale of woe, riding his cb750 racer with a newly installed central oil tank, and having not noticed the leak that was coming from said tank on to his back tyre, just as he was outside a school, he went down onto the tarmac, ripping the arse out of his trousers... I mean, If there is one place you do NOT want to be seen picking gravel out of yoiur bare arse, it has to be a school......
