Default Do you ever?

Do something stupid on your bike(since we/most anyway baby them) and say later to your self.......Why did I do that. I did that this morning on the way to work(the kid jumped out of me) I took some S-turns way to fast and scraped the High side of my pipe(the fromt one). I had that babbbyyyyyy leaned way over.

I won't do that again. (I hope)(its llike this other person took over).

Well, according to some folks, it's an act of stupidity every time I throw a leg over the bike. But yes, I've done a few stupid things on the bike.
