Your Most Challenging MOTORCYCLE Ride

[Jameschu]

Made the mistake of offering a drunk pub regular a lift home after he missed the last bus...never taking a drunk pillion ever again, I'm not sure who shit their pants more, me or him!

Thought of another:

'75 H2, 2-up with a gf, across Dartmoor from Exeter to Plymouth in the dead of Winter, at night, while it was snowing. Fell off a few times.
Pulled into a gas station near Plymouth, legs frozen, just fell over still sitting on the bike.

Gas station bloke put us both in front of a heater for a while to thaw out... then he tells me that road had been closed because of the weather. No shit?

When I got back outside to the bike we found some fleece on the right side so apparently I'd hit a sheep somewhere along the way.

Left a pub in Cornwall 3-up on my H2, got down the road aways & found a mate laying under his brothers GT550 triple. Only spotted him because I saw a white post where there hadn't been a white post before. It was his arm in a straight cast from a previous crash (BSA A10 Chop off a Cornish cliff onto the beach), the rider was over a hedge in a field.
Noticed step brother wasn't with us, retraced the route & found the daft bugger still sitting in the middle of the pub car park where he'd fell off as we left. All 5 of us were somewhat impaired...

Probably on a trip back from the Alps. On the peage, pulled into St Quentein service area, filled up the VFR and went to move off the pumps to a parking area 10 yards in front of me. Weather was sunshine but a massive storm had just passed through and most of the cars were leaking water all over the shiny concrete slab to mix with the diesel already there.
Still not sure how or why but bike went down with my foot underneath it. And it hurt like fuck! A couple of bikers rushed over, lifted the bike and helped me up. Anyway 10 minutes later foot was still hurting and the bike won't start, and since we are still technically on the peage I had to call out the French m'way contractor. Bike eventually fixed, wife advised I am late and having bike issues, and I set off for home still with a VERY painful left foot. I can barely stand on it, can't walk, and of course I need to change gear with it. Eventually get home around 11 pm and finally take off my boot to reveal a black foot. Next day the NHS tell me I have3 broken metatarsals and put my leg and foot in a backslab.

BTDT. Cast went above the back of my knee so couldn't bend my leg. Broke the top of the cast, then went back to the scene of the crash to ride the bike home. Tongue depressor taped to top of foot so I could change gear.

Staying awake on the VFR is pretty challenging...
