My biggest noob mistake was trying to do a u-turn on a steep Dunedin St. My feet couldn't reach the ground on the down-hill side and I went tumbling down the hill.
Here's a random youtube video that always makes me laugh.

Sorry that really made me laugh and put me in mind of something I witnessed back in my yoooff. Motorbike in the house (as you do when you have no choiceFirst car, parked it in the shed and noticed a strong brick wall in front of me.. hmmm, burnout time! Put the front bumper against the brick wall and open her up and dump the clutch!! WOOHOO! SMOKIN!! KA-RASH!!! through the wall and into the back yard !
Steve) wheeled into the kitchen, front wheel against the cupboards under the bench. Huge burnout! But...
The floor had those 300x300 lino tiles on it, them puppies flew all over the show...

Who idea was it anyway to put a sewer next to a play ground?
Whip it, whip it good!
Who is responsible for our make up? Sewers are not so bad, if they are clean and fresh and emptyCant imagine one full of it!
Born to be mild
Hah. Hunniest so far IMHO.
I guess my big noob mistake was on my old CB125 back about 1979. Cruising around a big grassed area beside the road at Kakanui near Oamaru. I was looking somewhere other than where I was going and when I did finally look straight again there was a wooden power pole in front of me. Aghhh .. "Brake or Turn" my mind screamed and gave me about a second to decide. Unfortunately I took both options at the same time and consequently finished up sliding on my back across the grass in front of the assembled Sunday drive crowd.

You are that old??
Thank you for sharing, that is really funny!
I can do a noob pillion story
Mind you it took a while for me to see the funny here
This would be late '70's. Small, single seater bike, me pillion with a duffel bag (anyone remember them?) of big brown bottles on my back. Yeah I have grown up HEAPS since then. Him up front, shows off to assembled, rev like hell drop the clutch! Yep, yep, yep, me on my bottom/back, him tearing off into the distance.
Lesson learned, if you are on a single seater as pillion, with no foot pegs, you hold on around the rider hard enough, so that when he gives it berries you both come off!
Have I mentioned I grew up since?

How long ago was 1979 ?, did the same thing but with a wooden picnic table, and with a cb650 , no doubt the shame was still the same, at least me and my pillion had a six pack of quarts in our backpack, Since then I have a fear of picnic tables, motorcycles and beer.
Smarty pants... since ages ago
How many weeks ago was the last one...???Mom you seem to have rather a lot of "Noob" stories.....

70's - i think I remember
2nd week with Honda cb175 I didn't lean into a corner in suburban street. Too fast. Nice neighbours picked me up. Embarassing.
Forgot to take steering lock off on Gt380. Right hand turn great. Left hand turn at traffic lights and bike fell over. Little old lady came up and asked if I needed help.
On same bike getting caught in side wind gust, downhill at speed in cutting. bike got speed wobbles. I braked. Downhill, wobbles, front brake, school jersey doesn' t work. We learn by our mistakes. pain helps.
I went to school
Life is to be enjoyed ... Bikes, women, beer and chocolate

Never sat on a bike before. First bike arrives and my neighbour tells me the clutch is left lever, throttle is right twisty, gears are left foot, etc. Sweet. How hard can this be? Off he goes back inside.
Hop on, switch on, pull clutch in, engage gear (but not brain, as we'll shortly find out...).
Bugger, the thing stalls. Go through it again. Start gain. Stall again. Start again. Stall again. Ad nauseum.
Neighbour comes back out and nonchalantly says "don't forget it's one down, five up"...
D'oh. I'd been trying to set off in second for the last 15 mins.
It's back..."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
