    Stayed over at a friends place in winter, got up and left well before the sun was up. It had also been raining during the night.

    Steepish driveway with a car parked in it, so instead of riding around it i thought
    "I'll just push the bike (zxr250) around the car and go from there."

    bad mistake, driveway was grass/mud with two concrete wheel tracks. As i got to the car i managed to slip over on the wet muddy bit and the bike went down.

    Luckily it fell into a muddy patch but still broke the fairing around the rhs indicator and dinged the pipe.

    Guess for me was trying to follow a mate around a corner when I didn't expect him to turn off, I had no chance of making it, I hadn't set up the corner, caught a bit chucky stone with the back wheel - bike slid out at the back, doof, on the deck. Luckily pride and bruising were the only injuries.

    Sitting my full practical last week... had to take helmet off to put earpiece in... completely forgot to do up buckle on helmet when I put it back.. got 100m down the road with the instructor behind me, oh fuck loose buckle... carefully pull over and whip gloves off to redo up the strap... Guy didn't say anything while he was sitting behind me... dunno if he knew what I was actually doing.
    Passed thankfully.

    1. Trying to tell a bus they'd had their indicator on for ages, lost my line and nearly went head-on with an SUV.

    2. Relatively fast rounding of a traffic island in an empty car park, straighten up and think "let's test the brakes", came to a stop and bamn! Oh shit, my wife was right behind me! I went flying right, she went left. Her knee hit my left exhaust pipe (bent 90deg up) and broke her kneecap. (Her bike was less than 24hrs old)

    Castlepoint, on the Wairarapa coast; on a Saturday night. Beach party, yours truly gets all pissed up thinking his 650 Triumph is safely parked for the night. Some dork decides he's gonna do donuts on it in the low-tide sand. (That's me.)

    Up and down the beach in pitch black to warm it up, round the fire a few times to get the crowd going, onto one foot, grab a handful, round and round a few times, drop bike, collapse into drunken heap, hot exhaust burns reminder into left leg.

    Spot the moron..........

    Took my bike to a Law Ball, (The Irony of it) after a few drinks and as we were leaving "moved" my bike, was subsequently caught on Courtney Place, 7 charges against me later and a night in jail in my tuxedo.

    Stupidist move of my life and last time that will ever happen.

    Going down symonds street, just past K road. In left hand lane, normally I'm always in the right hand lane, left never feels right. Anyway, car in front puts left indicator on, I assume he's going into a side street a little way down.

    Yes, made an ass out of myself. Looked to right lane, to go round slowing car. Look back in front of me... car was almost stopped, and I was almost in his boot.

    Swerved into the space in the right lane, which I knew was there, and dunno how the fuck I ever made it round the back of the car

    Can you please list those 7 charges? Me and Sidewinder are trying to work them out...

    We came up with this list, please clarify:
    1. Speeding
    2. Riding while intoxicated
    3. Riding after 10pm without a full license
    4. Riding a bike with a cc rating of over 250cc
    5. Riding with a pillion on incorrect license
    6. Riding without a helmet or possibly going through a red traffic light?
    7. Dangerous driving

    There's probably a few too many examples I can think of, but for me the scariest was the time I turned around to wave goodbye to a mate who'd just split off. When I turned back I was on the verge of hitting the central reservation: managed to *just* save it in time, but there was only about 5 cm in it.
    Shudder.

    Laughing at the BMW C1 on the other side of the road for a moment too long, looking back into my lane to see that the traffic had slowed considerably...
    But man those things look stupid.
