Unusual things I have
Discussion
Some daft things that spring to mind ....
Rode pillion on a mates GSXR750 for 16 miles on New Years eve dressed as a gorilla, carrying a plastic scythe as he was the grim reaper
Got pulled up by the law for wearing "dangerous attire" e.g some 34" bell bottom flared jeans that Mr police man said were dangerously close to getting caught in the chain of my ZZR600 . I explained they had started off tucked into my boots, but had blown out along the journey, so was sure to put them in my socks too

Most unusual.... Bought a Orchid as a thank you gift, only place to put it was tie it to my rucksack, had 3ft of Orchid sticking out above my lid.
Also, bought a cheap Aprilia MX 125, riding it to work got bout 2 and half miles, bike started revving freely when on throttle no go, stopped couldn't figure it out, pushed the thing home with full tank, rucksack on, in full gear, had to stop half way up the hill home out of the village to throw up as was that exhausted, to find out front sprocket cir-clip had sheared off, could of just secured it and eased bike home, complete t

Carried a four-foot long roll of insulation across the pillion seat.
Been masturbated by my (female) pillion at 80 mph.
Thrown a dead rabbit through an open car window.
Ridden up someone's front steps and into their porch.
Fallen off outside a notorious knocking-shop with some of the girls standing in the window laughing at me.
Told a German autobahn cop that he needed to remember just who won the war (I don't speak any German, he didn't speak any English, I wasn't happy about being pulled for filtering through stationary traffic).
Lots of silly stuff.

At the risk of the 'me me me' - I've had some fun on various bikes...
I've transported a bicycle on a bike - dropping the motorised one off for some exhaust repairs, and then cycling the ten miles into work.
I've ridden between Rotterdam and Hungary in a day on a naked bike (850 miles).
I've ridden between York and Edinburgh (and back) on a CBR125.
I've ridden back from a track day with no front brakes (pads got destroyed through exuberance)
I've helped out someone on a Honda with a snapped brake lever by donating them my front brake lever (from a Suzuki) overnight and then bringing them a replacement the next day (no front brakes again)
I've delivered a waterpump for a Citroen C1 to Falkirk from York, fitted it and then returned for work the next day (Easter Monday leaving York at 15:00 - glad the roads were quiet).
Does taking a ZZR1100 round Cadwell Park count? My first time at the track, a totally unsuitable bike that belonged to someone else. It was a different story with the NC30, the cornering was a lot more fun!
Cheers,
Tom

Ridden back from Spain with no front brakes.
Taken a microwave back to the campsite after going shopping on the bike.
Ridden through a blizzard for long enough for the outer two throttle bodies to ice up, giving a 752cc twin cylinder GSX14 halfway up the Pyrenees. That was fun up 1in4 hills in 3" of fresh snow.
Filtered past a cop car in almost stationary traffic as the lights went green, unfortunately I didn't see the cop car & hit about 130 up the following dual carriageway, only took them 12 miles to catch up
(wish I'd looked in the mirrors, I wouldn't have slowed).
Almost ridden into several farm gates in one day due to target fixation when pushing on & dodgy steering bearings upset my mental rhythm.

I did something similar. Looked like a right dick. Even more so when the girl I was going to give it to was busy shagging someone else. Worst thing was a few days after getting my first bike, decided to put it on the centre stand after pulling up. Instead of getting off using the side stand I decide it would be a good idea to try and get off and just put it on the centre stand.
I have no idea how I didn't drop the bike. Felt a bit stupid when I realised how stupid I was!
Ha loving people's weird stories
I accidentally got my mates into a fight with some German locals after doing a 130mph fly by. Very stupid of me but it happened. In the kaffufal I got seperated one side of the village all 6 of my mates the other side with my bag phone and wallet. After about 40 minutes hiding my bike in a Bush and trying to calm down I had to pass back through the village (in 6th gear at like 5rpm to make as little noise as possible) such a stupid day but a ton of crazy memories from it.
Rode my old gsxr 1000 for a couple of miles at 100+ with the Mrs of the back. She was hitting me but I shouted at her and told her to hold on. Turns out the padding had broken off my Chinese bought pillion seat and she had it in her hand so she was just squatting screaming stop...oops.
Rode my first bike to my mates garage to store with some light brown chino pants on. I had three people beep and yell at me to put pants on.
I also got a lift on the back of my mates 2008 r1. I think it was 4 cars that stopped beeped and called us gay boys. I think being 6ft and 15stone May have looked weird on the back.

Skipped countless multistory barriers, sometimes I even check the length of the exit barriers to check if I can escape before I enter.
Isn't that normal behaviour once you have a bike? It has been for me, but then I had a MG that fitted under most barriers before bikes so was already doing it then.Hooli said:

Just don't try to follow a car out. I watched an old boy I used to work with try to sneak out behind a car. The barrier came down and caught him right in the face and off he came.Somehow the company, Norwich union did pay out for a new helmet and possibly even more.
I rode a monkeybike up a tree when I was four.
I was too weak to do anything but turn right as the controls were all on that handlebar so it was heavier. As the tree was on the right, I had no choice but to try and ride over it as it was in the way. Four year old's logic
In fact that's about my earliest motorcycling memory..!

Does a wheelie 3 up on an Honda SS50 count? Amazing how little power you need with a big bloke on the luggage rack.
Used to do the same with my mate hanging off back of my Honda 50 rack. :-)Me & him used to ride from Scun'horpe to Goole on same bike with fishing basket & rods on it-(not exactly in same league as some of above)
We also took the legshields off it & went "sand racing" on sandy grassland in some nearby woodlands.
