The most stupid thing you have done (while riding)

[Big Dog]

To many to mention with 15 years of ammo, letting skiddy have a go on the scooter rates right up there. Too much power for that boy.

Had to stop it before he killed himself, or I did.

Rode around with the petrol switch turned off. when it finally cut out i spent about 5mins trying to figure out why she wouldnt turn back on!

I did that. Cowpoos switched it off one evening at The_Dover's without telling me....when did I find out? At about 120kph in the outside lane of the Southern Motorway - managed to get across the lanes without much power and roll halfway up an off ramp.

If your on the right at traffic lights... with another bike next to you... reach over and flick the kill switch on ya mates bike when about to go... then gap it quick cuz when they catch up, you'll find yourself in trouble!!! lol...

I was topping up my oil level, and almost put the engine cap into the container of oil haha oops.

This reminds me, once i was changing the oil, slipped, saw my hand heading to the catch tray full of oil so quicky tried to avoid putting my hand in the oil, hit the edge of the tray, flicked it, and chucked oil all over me.

Nah ya do it while riding past at a decent speed, the look on their face is priceless if you can see it. Gremlin knows what I'm talking about... ^_~
Or do the texmo and nick the keys at an intersection.. lol.

Stupidest thing i've done is probably 160 something plus in the pissing wet with galeforce winds side on, a huge tramping pack (the ones with back support and crap), a big oilskin raincoat and racing an dc2 integra down a closed motorway, between a car and a truck on a 250. On the cats eyes... ja, real smart. Runners, stunts in wrong place at wrong time and shit like that probably up there too.

[mstriumph]

Got my pant cuff stuck on the brake booster guard when pulling up to an intersection. Couldnt get my leg down so did the slowest speed fall in the middle of town. TWICE.

i've done that - only with shoelaces before i got the boots ....

........... then there was the time i turned the bike around and rode back the wrong way up a one way street to tell a cop off for behaving dangerously [jumping out in front of me trying to wave me down] ....... he wasn't amused

After I got off the m-way, and home. I noticed my fuel tap was on the 'off' position the whole time!

The bike still goes when it's switched to off, i have a bugger tap lol

Most embarrasing for me must be after a LAN with all my mates at a friends place. Was a long night, keeping myself going on many cans of V and various other junk.

Was raining almost all night, and my friends driveway was rather poorly designed (honest, it was). The driveway is very step and has a slight bend to it. To top that off, its pratically a MARBLE surface. The surface coupled with rain made for a slippery driveway. I proceed to warm the bike up weighing up the driveway and the condition of the arsehole Shinko tyres I still had on my bike at the time.

Figured I'd give her a bit of power to keep traction (it was seriously that sort of driveway where going to slow you'd just drift back down). Approaching the top, so far so good and I see a car at the top of the driveway directly ahead - go to turn slighty to make the bend and not go flying into or over the top of the car and low slided... jumped off quickly and end up doing a spider like position (hands and feet down body facing to the air, talk about frickin dance pose?).

All my mates who were leaving aswell were all watching. Got the thing back up and rode off in shame. Lost the indicator, bent the footpeg and got a few ugly scratches on the fairing. Laptop and external HDD all in the bag luckily didn't get touched :>

Ate a scoop of chips on the motorway between Trentham and Lower Hutt.

OMG how do you do that while riding? be a bit onesided from the rear wunnit? ...may be my lack of imagination... and i thought i had a good imagination. maybe the twisties are good for this too?
