Me and 2 buddys in my garage tuning up my ol Sporty. While we were working on it I had accidentally hit the shifter while changing the plugs. Im sitting on a bucket next to the bike, 1 of my buds was on the other side of the bike, the other guy is standing in front of it. I reach up and hit the starter and the bike slides accross the floor on its kickstand nearly running over my friend, causing him to spill his beer. It then hit an old stove and bitched the front fender up pretty good.

when you're riding down the street (crowded) with a couple of other guys/everyone is looking at your SG with 18 spokes/amped up stereo playing loud as he!! --- you get to the red light lose your balance and drop your bike while standing still.

did I mention the part about the kids laughing at me?

A freind and I went to a dealership one Monday afternoon only to find they were closed. We rode about 100 miles one way. I wasn't pissed at him, as I really enjoyed the ride. But, he was mad. This made me laugh hard. I laughed so hard, I firgot to put the kick stand down before laying the bike over. Oh, the dealership was next door and shared a parking lot with a Hooters.

Talking about dealers. Hehehe, I was sitting on different bikes on display, seeing how the new models felt. Well I walked over to this one that was parked real close to the wall. Me trying to be impresive to the dealers and everyone around me goes to throw my leg over the back when WHACK! I kicked the friken wall. To make matters worse, I kicked it so hard the huge display poster (6 foot by 10 foot) comes crashing down to the ground with a loud BANG!. Of course everyone in the store turns their heads to see who the h*ll made that loud noise. Mind to tell you that I didn't stick around too much longer then that.
