Don't bed in your new front brake pads by braking as hard as you can with four fingers (when you usually only use 1 or 2), on a damp, greasy, off-camber road covered in tar snakes.

Don't keep braking when the front wheel locks up.

Don't drop the bike right in front of spectators (road workers).

Don't land on your head instead of other parts of your body.

No no no!
Don't believe anything you read on a NZ-based biker's forum called KiwiBiker.

Don't dismount and step away from your bike without first fully extending the sidestand.

And don't trust the soundness of the Tarmac you put your side stand on, especially in hot weather. 38 toppled over bikes at Donington one sunny GP once upon a time, like very expensive dominoes .
