The dumbest thing
A friend and I were talking at work last night about doing stupid stuff on our scoots.I told him about being in Fairfax a few years ago at a red light on my Honda and decided it would be a good idea to fill the intersection with tire smoke. WRONG !! An undercover leo was right behind me. DOH !! I should've checked my mirrors first. At least he waited tillI was done before he hit the lights. That broke me of burnouts on city streets.
So, what'e the dumbest thing you guys/gals have done on your bikes?

RE: The dumbest thing
when my 99 modded up R1 was reading 172mph on the digital speedo down a public road (albeit outside of town)... next closest was racing a train while running from a cop... never broke 65mph on that but had it timed perfectly and passed in front of the train about 200 ft before it crossed and i was about 1/2 mile in front of the cop so he didn't get my plate either... it was beautiful...

158 in a 30.......about 25 years ago when I was 20 or so on my old GPZ 1100.I think it cost me around 150 bucks.

RE: The dumbest thing
I tried to ride home on my old hardtail chop with drag bars and a passed out girl on the back. I did alright in thehills where I didn't need to do a lot of shifting but when we got back on the freeway, where there were cracks in the concrete, should would start drooping right or left. I'd elbow her back straight up but then she'd start drooping the other way. Finally, I tucked her hands into my stomach(a lot smaller back then) and headed for the shoulder. About 5 mph she flips off the back, luckily to the left onto the shoulder. By the time I ran back to her she was laughing her *** off. She stayed awake after that though....

About 11 years ago I was riding a Yamaha 600 Radian bike. I didn't mean to pull a wheelie from the stoplight, only to take off very quickly. I ended up pulling the front wheel off of the ground and teetered on the point offlipping the bike. Luckliy I recovered and took off as I almost **** myself. The cars next to me thought it was cool though. [:-]

RE: The dumbest thing
In the later 60's my dumba$$ buddies and I all had smaller Hondas. 90's 160' scramblers and I had a 305 Honda scrambler. We would get girls on the back and play tag in our small town. We would spread out over the small down town area and try to drive up to each other and the girl on the back would lean over and tag the girl on the other bike. We would then take off and try to lose the other guys. We did this without lights. How stupid is that. Was a hell of a rush. Just dumba$$ teenagers. Everyone lived,,, a few were scraped up a bit.

RE: The dumbest thing
Between my junior and senior year in high school we were at a Forth of July party. My buddy Bernie had ridden his bike to the party. When the party was over Bernie was so drunk he couldn't walk. We were all laughing about it as we were getting into our cars. We heard a very slurred call for help. We found Bernie laying on the ground still astride his bike. We picked him up, helped him start the bike andgave him a push down the road.
He made it home, but to this day we don't know how.
