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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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...

I'm guessing you have a 250cc motorcycle or lower! And only kawasakis make them. (:

A bunch of cocksucking, stereotypical bikers ITT. You guys are the reason people hate motorcycles, and likely don't give a **** where you are on the road.

uh..... yeah. maybe your life would suck more if you fell off the bike going 75 miles per hour, so be grateful for that.

Neat, you're a reckless, inconsiderate asshole Do you by chance wear TAPOUT or have Monster Drink branding on apparel you wear?

Contrary to what some people here who probably never rode a bike seem to think, driving fast on a straight line is not hard. I'd even say it's the easiest thing to do. What's tough and takes a long time to know, actually, is to control the bike at low speed, like in the parking lot. I don't know ONE biker who never fall off his/her bike at low speed, myself included. And that's actually tougher for most women, not because they aren't as good as men, but because they usually are smaller and weight less. It's far easier to control your bike at low speed if you can fully put your feet on the ground and not just the toes, and when you weigh close to half the weight of your bike, and not just a quarter or a third.

Man, if you are that afraid of your bike, you shouldn't be on it. Period.
