Finished ride, changed into shorts, had to move the bike to get lawn mower, and then ouch, damn leg against muffler. My second time doing this, the first time was when I was checking the bike out before I bought it and was a complete newb so...does that count?
So since it is Friday and we are on the computer instead of chasing nubile young women. Show us your scars of stupidity!

Experience. It helps you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Same problem here, only the thing is, is that I had (have) pipe wrap on my Thunderheader. No problem right...wrong. It seems that my wrap had ripped in just the right place and had a perfect size opening just big enough to give me a nice little tattoo just like yours...and my wifes for that matter. I didnt think it was near as funny as she did.

About 20 years ago I took my friend's new Chinese bride for a ride on my FXSTC. Had those slip ons back then with "Harley Davidson" embossed on the side. She was wearing shorts & her shin brushed against the pipe & the "son" on Davidson sizzled a nice brand on her leg that reads "NOS" to this day.

Got a nice one right now on my left hand from tryin' to polish the trans cover on my RK at Biketoberfest while the engine was hot. I guess I'll never learn.
