What is the most annoying thing that happens to you on the bike?

[peterbaron]

It's a funny thing, steel on steel, not until you see a 42 ton caterpillar slip of the side of a trailer you realize there is just no traction there and very unsettling when this happens, thanks for the pics P.B. and glad you didn't drop the bike, could have easily gone wrong....

Besides the bee stings i heard this light " tick " as if something had hit the helmet, next thing a wasp was crawling across the inside of my closed visor, after i realized this i quickly opened it and it escaped but i still moved to the side and stopped to made sure we were both separated.

Looks like the markings on the floor is his " helipad " to position the trolley?

Just lift the bike up [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB?

There is marring on the garage floor?? or is that your artwork? Hopefully a little bit of spirits will wipe that away without hazing the finish.

All back to normal with a happy end.
Two guys lift up my bike, while I kept balance and pulled out stuck dolly.
Black marks on my garage floor are intentional for the pads placement to compensate dolly hight, so there is no extra effort to use bike's centre stand.

A barrier strap will be installed across my dolly, which prevents from forward sliding... and engine support flat pad is being made, so I can use my floor jack if situation reapers or something unexpected/similar....

Variety of engine under-pads/blocks, including stainless steel reinforcement are ready and awaiting assembling...soon.

... watching a fellow rider getting [url=https://youtu.be/ogoIm9aB8a8?t=86]coal rolled by a brain-deficient diesel pickup truck driver.

They do that on purpose.

Having to decide whether to put the rain gear on and be hot or be soaked and making wrong decision:-(

RE stinging insects inside helmet:

Yeah max - an always present risk. Hasn't happened yet to me, but always wary.

Getting a sting in the eyeball is almost like puncturing an eye tumor yourself with a safety pin. Not very pleasant.

Back in the 70's riding behind a mate when all of a sudden he started swerving and then his back wheel locked up and he came to a quick stop and just dropped his bike and went running up and down the grass verge tearing his upper clothes off. It was so funny I couldn't stop laughing
A wasp had gone up his sleeve and stung him many times.

Not so funny. This same event, except in a car put me in ICU and near death death from a severe allergic reaction to multiple stings!

I also get an allergic reaction from wasp stings and need treatment so I know where your coming from but the wasp stings wasn't the funny part.
If you knew my mate who is very much like the actor from Faulty Towers John Cleese tall and lanky and very funny you would understand, so it was the visual part that had all 3 followers laughing.
There were so many funny incidents with the same man all good memories and he loved making us laugh and also laughed with us, he was the group comedian.

Yeah, I don't think getting stung, let alone multiple times is not such fun - especially when controlling a motorcycle.

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

Yeah, it's the earplug thing. I don't use them on the Honda, but I do on my Suzi DL1000.

Ha... I did the whole put the helmet on, put the gloves on, climb on, and then see that I left the key in my pocket when I went to leave after a trip to the dealership this afternoon.
