5 SITUATIONS THAT DRIVE BIKERS MAD

26 Jul 2021 News, [Sassy_Social_Share]

Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. It apparently describes lives as bikers, too.

For example, forgetting to renew our riding license or the bike’s road tax, leaving the lights on, forgetting to buckle the helmet and many more.

Here are five situations that will drive us mad.

The (Broken) Routine

The sequence of gearing up for a ride is pretty much ingrained in all of us – which goes on first, second, third, last. Or do we?

It goes like this:

  • Walk outside.
  • Start the engine.
  • Put on jacket and zip up.
  • Gloves on.
  • Forgot that the helmet is still on the seat.
  • Mutter a few tsk, tsk.
  • Remove gloves.
  • Put helmet on.
  • Gloves on.
  • Forgot the earplugs.
  • Now swearing a few cuss words.
  • Gloves off.
  • Helmet off.
  • Earplugs in.
  • Helmet on.
  • Gloves on.
  • Ride away like the red lights went out at the MotoGP starting line.

And you wonder why you are stressed out even though you ride.

What’s that flapping noise?

What a relief to get going after all that gearing up. Some airflow would definitely help in cooling you down.

But.. wait a minute, what’s that flapping sound? Aaaargh! It is the helmet’s chinstrap.

We have all done it so you are not alone, if that makes you feel better.

Unplugged

Earplugs are essential when you ride. But they always seem to have minds of their own. You have pushed them as deep and as secure as you could into the ear canal, then pulled on your helmet.

A kilometer up the road and one will start too ooze (yes, that is the feeling) its way out, leaving you with wind noise that is louder in one ear. Trying to stick it back in without removing the helmet is an exercise in futility, as the entire plug will pop all the way out!

The naughty bowel

You stopped at the petrol for some fuel and hydration. With everything done, you geared back up and felt that a visit to the toilet was unnecessary. In fact, you wait for a minute or two after gearing up to make very certain that you did not need to.

Suddenly the bladder and possibly the stomach decide that you do have to – NOW!

The rain suit conundrum

The sun had been shining when you left home, so you stored the rain suit in the top case. What a wonderful day to ride! You tell yourself.

Suddenly you spot heavy rain up ahead. You decide to stop and pull on the rain suit because you do not like getting all soggy.

Rain boots, pants and finally the jacket. By now you are sweating like a marathon runner. You get back on the bike and off you go to greet the rain with glee. Bring it on!

Only thing is, the rain clouds seem to outrun you and move further and further ahead. And all this while, your rain suit flaps in the wind like a parachute while other motorists think you are a parachutist who missed his drop point, nevermind you are now sweating by the buckets.

So, you stop and remove the rain suit.

A few minutes later, a rainstorm comes out of nowhere and blasts you with a sheet of water.

    IMPORTANT GIVI RACKING SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    In order to protect the user and avoid damage to the original structure of the motorcycle, we would like to point out the following. Our product is the result of the assembly of various components. Therefore, the welded points and bends, as well as the different motorcycle chassis can cause assembly difficulties. For the correct fitting procedure, we suggest you rely on qualified personnel and to check carefully that the kit components do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle (Frame, Silencers, Shock Absorbers, etc.). We will not be responsible for damages caused by incorrect assembling due to poor fitting by a non-qualified person or mechanic. The warranty covers exclusively the replacement or articles from the product range, which would present defects prior to final assembly.

    Suggested fitting sequence: –

    • Fit the supports and the corresponding kit screws (without tightening them) according to the sequence suggested in the mounting instruction.
    • Centre all fitting kit items and check that they do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle.
    • Tighten the screw sequentially and check their tension periodically.
    • In case the kit is not complete or you find that you have a faulty component, do not hesitate to get in touch with your dealer or directly with the producer. Please avoid using unsuitable parts.
