A new thread in the "Wanted Classifieds" reminded me of one that I thought about starting recently. If anyone has ever been part of a Dale Carnegie Course there is a part in one of his books about having a folder called "Fool things I have done" to write stuff down and have a list of things on hand to refer back to, laugh at yourself, and learn a lesson from. We all have such a list whether it's in a folder or just in your mind.
Since the 2 wheeled beasts we find so fascinating are also prone to bloopers, what are some of your motorcycle goofs? Here's one of my most recent:
I pulled into the garage area at work one day last year and was parking in a tight space on the 919. Did the big no-no of dismounting on the opposite side of the stand. To my surprise the damn thing kept going and WHAP on the floor. Embarrassing part was that the space it fell into was so tight I had to go get another guy to help me pick it up. Stator cover is still scuffed up and I left it that way to remind me to ALWAYS double check the side stand and dismount on the left side!
