Biker troubles

By Crotch_Rocket_Rider - 06/10/2009 17:33 - United States

Today, when approaching a stop light on my motorcycle, I went to extend my left leg as usual to balance when stopped. Apparently my shoelace loop got wrapped around the shift lever and "tied" my shoe to the bike. It's hard to look cool when you fall over for no apparent reason at a stoplight. FML

#39, It would be extremely hard to put his right foot down if he was leaning on the left side of the bike already.

Not so. I ride a motorcycle too, and if you can't touch the floor with both feet at the same time, then you're riding a bike that's too big for you. The OP deserves it for wearing inappropriate footgear. Motorcycle boots either don't have laces (buckles, zips, etc), or have a flap (often with some kind of armour) on the shin that covers up the laces for this very reason. I'd put money on him not wearing a single shred of protective gear.

of what use is being able to put your right foot on the ground if the machine is allready falling to the left?

He's probably too small for the bike and needs to shift his weight to one side in order to reach the ground with a foot. So right foot stuck on the clutch (shift lever) prevented him from being able to properly support himself and the bike with his left foot. The guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing but he told the story in a funny way at least.

Crotch rocket is (old) slang for sport bikes, or racer-type bikes.

I know what they are, I just am perpetually perverted, so my mind focused on the crotch part instead of the rocket. (Dick instead of bike, obviously).

HAHAHA I did that while taking the road test. Begining of class they said never ride with any shoe that has a shoelace for that very reason. Feel your pain

YDI for even trying to look cool. D-Bag alert.

"Looking cool" does NOT make someone a d-bag!! Trying too hard to look cool and failing miserably makes someone a d-bag. If looking cool is d-baggery, than we're all guilty of being a d-bag either currently or sometime in the past.

OP wasn't trying to look cool idiot, he was just trying to look like a normal motorcyclist. Most motorcyclists look cool on their bikes naturally, and he said it was hard when you fall off

Haha, that's funny :P That's why you should always tuck your laces in your shoes! I learned that YEARS ago when I got my first dirtbike.

Actually, that's why there are motorcycle BOOTS. A REAL rider has them, and always wears them when riding. They don't have laces for just this reason. And they're a LOT better at protecting your feet and ankles from the crap on the road tossed up by your front wheel (and from other vehicles) and protecting you should you crash.
