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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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...

anyone who applies for a motorcycle license should be first made to volunteer at an emergency department for a week.

75 you are an idiot, care less about what other people do with their lives, and live your own........... Motorcycles been around a long time, and each and every rider knows the risks every time they saddle up. If they don't then they get what the deserve.

@31 Its alright at that speed. =) Adrenaline rush! 90miles per hr, THATS scarier. But considering that OP is probably new to riding, ITS PRETTY DAMN HORRIFYING.

Enjoy your murdercycles. Those damn things are deadly. Take it from a trauma surgeon. There is something very comforting about having 3000 pounds of steel and fiberglass surrounding me if I'm in an accident.

motorcycles are hot. and very exciting. and going 75mph in a freeway on it IS pretty scary!

75 on a motorcycle isn't too bad. I can hit 70 in first gear easily. I regularly hit triple digits on the freeway as long as the roads are open, there's a lot of "oomph" behind a street bike if you lay on the throttle....

No it's not, you pussy. That's cruising speed.

I've been a daily rider for 6 years now. 13 000 miles a year. There's absolutely nothing scary in going at that speed in a straight line. Scary is going fast in a mountain road, with lots of curves. Scary is going fast on a racetrack. But speed itself ? Especially with the quality of the chassis of modern bikes ? If 75 on the highway is scary to you, then you are not made for this.

All of you are stupid. She was scared to go fast because she thought she would have a screaming ****** of death.

I agree, he's a N00B!!!! Why have a bike if you're skeered to go 75mph? I'm a GIRL and have DEF gone faster + never layed my bike down in a damn parking lot. idiot. Methinks OP needs a MSC.

Oops, OP IS a girl... THAT explains alot :-)

I agree with #47. U are not made to ride a motorcycle if u r scared at 75 mph. especially on a freeway. YDI for being a pussy.
callahsr 0
what the hell are you riding where you can hit 70 in first gear "easily"?
Fsvb 32
@ 38 so, ok, true, they are quite dangerous, more than a car is, but how about the fact that they are better for the environment since they go faster and longer on less gas? :) And about people dying.. You know the whole world is getting overpopulated? lol ok ok, that's cruel, but true.. if ya think about it :P

YDI for having the nerve to take your cycle up to 75 on the freeway. you shouldnt do it out of nerve, do it when you feel you are ready. even though you didnt fall on the freeway, you mightve. idk

Dont be a dick, she wasnt trying to be a tool or trying to sound awesome.

#53 - it's not about who causes the accident. It's the fact that you're generally in a much worse position after getting in an accident when you're on a motorcycle compared to when you're in a car. Even if the person in the car caused the accident, that's not going to lessen the motor cyclists injuries. Believe Doc when he says those accidents are nasty - I've seen some of those victims myself, and there's no way I'm driving a bike anymore.

Better that you just fell in a parking lot rather than in front of cars going 70+mph.
