Make sure you can remove your foot from the footrest BEFORE you stop, fasteners on the bottom of your pants can get caught on the footrest..

this one is from about 13 years ago when I started out on my mudbug.
I learned that while you put oil in with the petrolin the petrol tank on a 2 stroke, a 2 stroke also has a gearbox that needs oil too. seized it three times before ifigured that one out

Snap! I've got one of those too.Nothing,not a thing.
Ask my Mrs,she often tells me "You never fucking learn do you?"
I just say "yes dear" an go back to doing what ever it was I was doing wrong.
So I guess I did learn something,,,I'm never right,,so I don't argue.

When using throw over panniers do not rely on the bride's wobble bottom to keep them in situ.
If a bike, with panniers fitted, will not fit through your gate on the outward journey there is an excellent chance that it will still not fit through your gate on the return journey.
Kicking a recalcitrant XS500 off it's stand will in fact not make the Engine start nor make the bike think about it's behaviour.
These things I have learnt...along with quite literally hundreds more

When you check tyre pressures before a ride and find they're down a bit. Spend 5 minutes with the trusty old foot pump, recheck and the pressure's down even further.
Chances are the pump is f**ked. Has now been donated to the local land reclamation fund.

"channellling the Pleideans"
when you take your front wheel off to change a tyre, make careful note of which side gets the short spacer and which the long. Otherwise when you (somehow) manage to get the thing together (thinking "fuck, that didnt go together as easily as it came apart") a) your brakes won't work, and b) you will think your frame is bent because the wheels dont line up.

Don't stop on a corner with a drain at the edge thereby accentuating the camber. Unless you have longer legs than mine. Never mind, the wife always helps to pick it up, I knew she's there for a reason.

If your bike is fitted with a cut-out switch on your kick-stand ... REMEMBER this, at Rallys (ie:Brass Monkey Rallys) ... when you park on a hill ... and leave it IN GEAR to stop it moving ...

When you've planned your ride and you know you have a certain distance to travel and a certain amount of time to do it in and it's all programmed into the GPS to do it and arrive at your destination in time to have a shower relax and have a couple of beers, don't get so wrapped up in the ride that you ignore the GPS to the extent that you find yourself in the boondocks adding 4 hours to your planned ride. and that extra ride is in very rural roads with sheep and shit and fatigue...
Mind you that was one of the best rides I've ever had so who gives a shit eh!
