(Damned pillars and great yellow whaleness of Viffer and stickyout-ness of tail light - deadly when combined with lack of sleep and intrinsic incompetence)

Yes folks, I reversed into something on a vehicle without a reverse gear.

That is special, right up there with stalling an automatic car. Surely there is some sort of mechanical Darwin award for which I can get an honourable mention?

I dread to think what Mr Honda charges for such a large, shiny piece of plastic. (Should be some at a wreckers I hope - not likely to break in a write off.)

*And who the hell designs a single, massive tail light that sticks out BEYOND anything else at the end of the bike. That's asking for breakage. Notwithstanding my complete idiocy.

for grossly excessive size after the massive überlight at the arse of RF900s*

In the meantime, clear tape and red cellophane to the rescue to ensure legality.

lol i didnt quite believe until i saw it!!! bit of a

hehe onya ross

Hence the talk of an honourable mention

Just like in the DAs - daft acts which are not fatal, but worthy of mention for there incomparable foolishness.

pssh, stalling an automatic car isn't hard.

Just depends on the car.

My gf's car stalls all the time when its cold, its a pain because theres no clutch so you can't just ride the revs

I got red repped because jafa got a bit carried away while he had squiggles' laptop.

**PirateJafa** · 28th August 2008, 20:39

I swear on the holy fucking Necrotelecomnicon that I never touched his laptop.

*cheer*

**Ragingrob** · 29th August 2008, 19:38

Wow this has been the most secretive secret in the smc ever. Even after people being questioned at the chilla, noone really knows the story

BTW, filtering between traffic on the motorway on ramp is NOT a good place to start cutting out for no "apparent" reason and only JUST managed to steer clear of the lanes before dying... Jafa I've got you in my sights! You scoundrel!

Your plan almost worked, every fucken gap I was going to cut across lanes an angry cager started driving to block me! Kinda hard with one cylinder outta four to accelerate through any gap to safety. Not to mention where I cut out there was like half a metre of shoulder max! Gutted!

**PirateJafa** · 29th August 2008, 23:55

Did better than me last time I ran out of gas on the motorway overpass over Newmarket - there's *no* shoulder there as I was trying to kickstart her after throwing her into reserve. :P

Of course Andrew'd already disappeared into the distance - he'd smelt beer so I knew he was gone.
