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
Collection
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?

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...

Notice that OP is a woman, so no, she does not have balls. SHE was probably afraid to get up to 75 on a motorcycle, like many women, including myself, are.

That's not gravity, it's stupidity. Pay attention to the little signs before you get a big one, like my brother did a few days ago when he was driving back from the store. Less than a mile from his house he hit some lose gravel & slid 160 ft across the pavement & all that loose gravel. He wasn't driving fast; he also wasn't wearing a helmet (more stupidity). He's lucky he only came out w/the injuries he did. He's lucky to be alive. This all happened right after he found a buyer for it...he's been trying to sell it for over a year. My friend Jon wasn't as fortunate; he'll most likely be in a wheelchair the rest of his life. My dad's best friend has permanent brain damage; he was an expert rider w/an extremely high IQ & a great charismatic personality...not so much anymore. Those are only a few of the many examples I can give you & this is coming from someone who's been riding since the age of 4 & I love riding w/my boyfriend, but it's just not worth it. Do yourself & your lived ones a favor; get rid of the deathtrap & make some $$$ off of it!

best reply to a newbie so far. I've not dropped mine yet and really not looking forward to it. :(

OP- slow speed manuevering is always where you test your skills. Any idiot can keep a bike up at 100mph. It's designed to act as a gyro. It's a real rider that can keep it up riding a 24' circle or a figure 8 in the friction zone. Don't listen to the critics, you will get the feel of it. I highly recommend taking the Motorcycle Safety Course and getting Jerry Palladino's Ride like a Pro DVD's. Learn to ride like that and you will be the safest one on the road, no matter what speed you are going. Congratulations on joing the ranks of the fast growing world of women motorcyclists!

This happened because you are an idiot and should not be riding a motorcycle. Get rid of it before you kill yourself or someone else.

wow...ur a real downer. I would rather die on my Harley, or rappelling off of a cliff then at 90 wondering what it would have been like to experience those things. Some people need adventure in their lives, some are happy with the 2.4 kids and the 401K and Netflix. Neither way of life is wrong. It is a personal choice.
