Today, after finally getting up the nerve to take my motorcycle to up 75 mph on the freeway, I made it off in one piece, only to fall off my bike in the mall parking lot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, I had my girlfriend drive me to go buy a motorcycle. I rode it 50 minutes home, got in the drive way, put the kick stand down, and then lost my balance and fell on the other side. I paid $3000 to drop it in the first hour and break the turn signal off. FML
Today, I took my motorbike out for the first time ever, after having waited for five weeks for it to be returned from the mechanics. Three hours later and I crashed after getting caught in the rain and hitting an oil patch on the road. Looks like I won't be riding until it's fixed. Again. FML
Today, I rode my new bike for the first time. I made it less than 100 feet from my driveway before I was almost flattened by someone driving on the wrong side of the road. Upside: I managed to get out of the way. Downside: I did it by slamming my brand new, expensive bike into a wall. FML
Today, I was having motorbike lessons. We were parked by the side of the circuit when one side of my gloves dropped on the ground. I tried to pick it up without getting off the bike. I lost balance, fell off the bike and the bike landed on my leg, trapping me. FML
Today, I pulled my motorcycle into a wheelie when my crush drove by. She was the one who drove me to the hospital when I went over backward. FML
Today, I stopped at a light when someone crashed into my motorcycle, making me fall. The guy claimed it was my fault because I'd stopped too fast. I got really mad, so I attempted to spit on his face and was ready to start a fight when I noticed that I'd forgotten to lift the helmet visor. FML
Today, I refused to ride with a friend on a motorcycle because it is unsafe and went to take the bus. As I got off the bus, I got hit by a speeding motorcycle and ended up in hospital. FML
Today, I was on my way home from work and decided to stop at the grocery store. I purchased $200 in groceries and went to put them in my car. I then realized I drove my motorcycle today. FML
Today, after spending hundreds of dollars on parts and tools, and hours of research to teach myself how to perform the work, I upgraded my bike. It was also today that I made it 4 blocks from my house on my first ride before I hit a curb and broke my collarbone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You seem disappointed, would you have preferred to fall on the freeway? there there... there there.

Hey, you got your bike up to 75...for the first time, that takes guts. And you got your first drop out of the way--and not at speed. That's fortuitous! Sounds like a win to me! Just wear your gear all the time and have fun on the bike...

Maybe you should have spent more time practicing getting on and off your bike? Or driving at low speeds?

so because you survived driving 75 mph but fell off your bike in a parking lot it's "fml?" you didn't get into an accident or break your bike, and your still alive. that's a good thing! it couldn't be THAT embarrasing. who cares what strangers think not like you will see them again anyway.

I'm going to assume you're unscathed.

Everyone drops their bike sooner or later. Not that big of a deal. Consider yourself lucky you didn't drop it while going 75mph but instead in the parking lot where neither of you suffered much damage.

Ok, do a service to the public, and tell us what motorcycle is so crappy, that you are scared to bring it to 75 MPH, which is 5 less than the speed limit on most of the highways in Europe ? Godddam, I brought mine to 125 on the autobahn, and the thing was like on rail. And I was far from being the fastest

Ok, do service to the public and stop being an ass hole. The OP is a woman, if you haven't noticed. 65mph is a speed limit on most highways in the US. If you have no fear of becoming a road kill doesn't mean that OP should treat the roads like a race track.

The rider is a woman, so that means it's harder for her ? What kind of sexist crap is that ? My GF is a rider as well, and she's faster than me. I'm serious, really serious, when I say that, if you are scared at 75 MPH, then you are not fit to ride a motorcycle. And the highway speed in the US is irrelevant to that point.
