Pushing it too hard for my skill level in the wet and forgetting to look for diesel spots.

Leaving my bike parked what I thought was a safe distance behind some bloody @5!@n drivers..... now I park it 2 feet away from the entrance to any place I go.

Lowsided at about 45kph after leaving the sidestand down. My first bin.

spark plug fowled 30 meters from school on the way home, i had to push it all the way back to school passing about 50 kids smurking and laughing (BASTARDS)

wonce (before i had a chian guard), i got my pants traped in the chain stoping at my driveway (thats on a really busy 70km road). i tried to tear my pants out to no avial , so i gave up and let the beast land on me, thank god i didnt even get a scratch on the bike.

fell off backward on a mini moto trying to do a wheelie

after a hard day of dirt biking i was geting cocky (my second ever ride), so i decided to ride up the ramp onto the trailer....got to the top and went to put my foot down, sadly i found out there was nothing there, i fell off the side of the trailer. the good thing was that the bike was balancing horrozontaly right above me so no major boo boo's exept the 20 guys that saw me

Back when I was a bit of a novice there's a pub with beer garden on an intersection on a bit of a hill. Do you think I could do a hillstart?? Much hilarity for sunny afternoon pissheads.

Bought a vespa with an airleak, turned out to be a rooted manifold and carb.

Spent about 5 minutes kickstarting a Kr1 two stroke only to find I'd turned off the kill switch.

Dropped key down fairing on same bike at gas station ... Needed key to open rear seat to gain access to tools to take fairing off

This is my 1st post, so may as well list (some) of the stupid things I have done.

Attempted to ride bike with disc lock still on.
Lost keys under tank

Most embarrassing moment was being flatened by a fat businessman on Liverpool St in London when couriering. Riding along fairly slolwly up the middle on the road in heavy traffic, huge man appears out of no where and knocks me flat on the deck with bike on top of me. He was perfectly fine.

Locked the keys under the pillion seat

There is a way to open it up but I don't want to release that info or else everyone with a CBR250 will find thier bike broken into after leaving it parked

**sunhuntin** · 29th October 2005, 09:40

taken off with the side stand down...had a major lean for some reason, stand caught the road and flicked up to safety.

dropped the bike after getting off and forgetting to pull her towards me....that lead to me learning to put the side stand down first then dismounting!

cornering too hard on wet grass when learning....first accident.

Filling the fc2's tank with a fuel it was never intended to use......................

In my newbie days I was stationary at a set of traffic lights (on a KMX 125) when a group of fit chicks walked by, and one shouted, "pull a wheelie sexy". Lights turned green, I twisted the grip, dumped the clutch and the bike pulled a huge wheelie. Unfortunately I was left standing at the traffic lights while it did so, the bike carrying on its merry way down the street before wobbling and falling over.

Lesson learnt.
