Default What's your daftest off?

C'mon guys and girls, what's your daftest off?

Mine; falling asleep on the A66 going to the Lakes. One broken metatarsal, bent forks and battered ego.

not even an off: trying to put my first ever bike on the paddock stand unaided, the bike tipped to the offside so I ran from the rear to the side but ended up trapped underneath it...

luckily no one was around to see it so I sat there for 5 mins trying to work out how to un-trap myself

Once upon a time I owned a crappy Datsun 140J Violent that cost me 50 quid, I used it as my occasional winter hack when I was a year round every day rider. This car got through oil like no-one's business, mostly losing it through a craked sump, so I would top it up with used oil scrounged from the garage up the road. I took it to the local shop one day and parked it on the bend outside, whereupon it dumped about half a litre of oil on the road.

Later that day I had to go to a mate's house on the bike, he lived a little way past the shop. As I came round the corner where the shop is I managed to hit my own dumped oil and put the bike through a garden wall almost writing it off, and broke my wrist into the bargain.

Rough justice.

I fell off on grass. But it just happened to be in front of my ex boyfriend and 8 of his mates, all of which i hadnt seen in years. It couldnt have been a worse "see im totally over you" entrance. On top of that i had to get them to help pick the bike up. I pretty much just looked up and said "well i look a bit of a d**k dont i?!" and they all just laughed. lol. I had to work with them all for the next 2 days with them ripping it out of me lol

I've had two...
2nd day riding my SV...slow right hand u-turn...leaned over...front brakes...bang...bike lying on the ground, me stressing that I had killed her...

2nd "off" pull bike out of garage...had to squish into a small space...go to get off the bike...leg hits a tree/bush thingy...so I move it another 2 feet forward...didn't COMPLETELY pick it up off the stand...resulting in stand folding up partly...when I DID go to get off it, the stand folded up completely...Throwing me through the aformentioned bush/tree thingy, having me rolling on the grass...my mother was there to witness the whole thing...Good times

Bet you were thinking 'of all the times and of all the places....'

My off was not serious, just embarrassing.
We had just collected my crosser, it was scorching hot and I was wearing a dress.
After unloading it on the driveway I got on, unfortunately my feet were both about 1ft from the ground either side, I stalled it went to put my foot down and fell over just as the neighbours arrived home after 4x4'ing (8 lads!)
I got a round of applause but that was for the unfortunate side effect of the thong flashing they all got

not an off but one of the stupider drops: Wondering if I could take a bike off the paddock stand with one hand....purely out of curiosity - I can't

A small off, again purely out of curiosity : wondering if I can ride my bike in about 4 inches of snow on an ungritted road, I rememeber thinking the fleeting thought "this is brilliant snow ski's haven't got **** on me..."......squashed ankle and a bent brake lever later - no I can't
