The most stupid thing you have done (while riding)

[Blossom]

Too many times to count I have fallen asleep on the back of the mans bike. Yes asleep.
Once when we were still dating, after a particularly hard night playing indoor basketball I fell asleep on the back of the gsx750, wedged nicely between him and the pack rack. Next thing I remember is hearing a tapping noise.
I open my eyes to see someones knuckles banging on the front of my helmet. I open the visor to see a very surprised Mr Plod staring intently at me.
I got a good growling. I think he was more shocked than upset. Needless to say I find pillioning quite relaxing.
On a side note our 8yr old fell asleep on the way back from Paeroa the other night on the back of her dads RF900... must be genetic. lmao

BDOTGNZA, where are you in this grave time of need?

Anyway.. I have to say organising a Coro Loop on the 'Gut Feeling' that the weather would be good was pretty stupid.. Hammered down every inch of the way..

I set off on my R80/7 one Sunday morning. The front discs were wet from rain the night before. I was riding slowly in second, applying the front brake to dry off the disks. As I was adjusting the mirrors with my left hand, the front wheel rode over a stick of celery lying in the road at the first turn from my house. The front wheel locked up and I lost the front end. I ended up on my back in the middle of the road, with my bike half way up the street , engine still running, back wheel still turning.

My ego hurt more than my banged-up thigh as neighbours came runningto assist. Was this punishment for many pots of potato and celery soup consumed over the years...?

A mate of a mate tried to see how far he could ride with his eyes closed.

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.

Jeans to long so fold them back ,approached a red light, somehow it got tangled in the hereblob and i did a full 5 seconds of perfect balancing on the BRAND new VFR untill .....
I left with the mirror in my pocket.

Trying to read the GPS while doing 140km/h in rush hour traffic in Johannesburg.

Trying to zip the leather jacket up cos it start to drizzle .

Testing the ABS on the bike to realise it only works on back wheel.

I left with the mirror in my pocket again.

My old XL had a hi comp 305cc big bore kit in it, so some times it could be difficult to start when cold.
I would normal hold the front brake on, to stop the throttle hand twisting while kicking it over.

Leaving a friends place one morning, I figured I would just roll down the hill and crash start it at the bottom.

Well I did crash it. Grabbed a big handful of front brake as I dumped the clutch and bounced down on the seat. Idiot!!

Causing myself to fall off my bike... twice... pretty much the same way both times...

The man may not agree here, but imho the stupidest thing he has done on a bike was while stopped at a set of traffic lights about to turn right with me on the back. We were behind a mini I think and this particularly attractive blond with bouncy boobs. (yes I noticed too) walks by on our left. The mans helmet does this move to the left to watch said blond as the mini starts to move forward as the lights have gone green.
Does the man take note of this? no.. still looking at blonds boobs. But he finally notices the car ahead of him is moving so he begins to turn the corner, still not really taking his attention off the blond and promptly runs straight up the back of the mini, which had stopped to give way.
The blond hearing the bang looks our way and the man is reduced to Mr embarrasment, no harm was done to the mini or the bike (although pretty sure the old lady driving the mini was a bit shocked) so he just rode off with me on the back hitting him and yelling at him to pull the *&^$*& over.
I can laugh about it now but boy at the time I was pretty pissed off. When we got to our destination and I got off the bike, all he could do was laugh.
Bastard.

Riding a suzuki LT125 4 wheeler, doing jumps then the rear wheel falls off landing on 3 and bending the rear axel (they have no suspension lol)

Rode in shorts and jandals about 30k's through the canyons to the beach while on LSD. I kept pulling over because I heard sirens coming up behind me. I thought it was an ambulance.
The road was like a slithering serpent of translucent pulsating colours and my bike and I were like riding a dragon.
Fun, but not particularly safe.
