all the classic mistakes here also
my personal fav is stalling it trying to impress some hotties![sm=headbang.gif]

 

the first time i rode, i was on a crf not a cbr about 5 yrs ago when i was only 14/15. the first time and the last time i attempted to jump a dirtbike, not untill i came short 4 feet on the landing(7 foot lip) and ate it hard did i say to myself that dirtbike jumping wasnt for me. and oh ya many many people were watching.

on the cbr though the only time i can say i was embarrased was when the first time i rode my bike i told my friend that it was broken because it kept cutting when i put the kickstand up(in gear ofcourse), i felt like a douche bag when he said to me that the kickstand needs to be up when its in gear...

 

oddly enough just the other day after reading anubis warning another member not to downshift to early cause it can make the back end squirly, What do i do i am out and coming to a turn and it is usually so fluent and second nature to down shift and blip a little to catch the rpms with the engine. Of course this one time i don't it start rocking back and forth but i cuaght it no problem and kept riding but i will admit it got the ol' heart pumping pretty good.

Oh an just the other night leaving from the girls house around 2a.m i am rolling out of her garage(rich neighbor hood ******* nieghbors) with teh clutch in i go to hit the start adn take off and for some wierd reason i hit the horn and kinda held it(as long as you would the elec start)....I then immediately hit the start button and took off like mad.
I can't wait till i leave her neighborhood at 1 in the morning with those Twin D&D's straped on the back[sm=grinangel.gif]

 

i ran out of gas and it didnt start till i towed it to the shop for plug work....I heard gas sloshing around in the tank,but it was so low it woulnt start...they all looked at me like i was nuts.....BTW i worked at the shop for 4 months fowd the plugs trying to start it over and over again with no gas in her

 

Starting off in 2nd.

Blinker.

Gravel.

Hate them all


Squash a soda can and put under the kickstand.

 

I pulled into a parking lot went to get off the bike leaning to left and my shoe lace got caught on the shifter. DOH!!! Right in front of the ice cream shop. Feeling like a dweeb and then someone asks if your all right? Yeah just a bruised ego.[:'(]

 

Blinker left on and hitting the horn on accident are an all the time occurrence. One of my most memorable was I dumped my bike (luckily no one was around) and I picked it up and tried starting but it wouldn't start. After about 2-3 minutes I realized I had to turn my bike off to reset the bank angle sensor. DOH!!!

 

well i am still a newbie, only had my bike 3 weeks exactly. I can honestly say that i have that i have made just about every mistake listed on here. At least i know it gets better, apparently not with the horn oh well!

 

I frequently forget to cancel my turn signal. Sometimes, I accidently get the horn too. The first day I had my bike it fell over in my garage but was caught by a table. Luckily, I just had some scratches on my fairings that buffed out.

 

this happened friday night (11pm). on the freeway and the bike start sputtering, then stalled. pulled over, cars wizzing by and no start. kinda freaked out and after 10 minutes of wondering WTF and calling my friend for help, i flipped the reserve on and it started after a couple tries. now i know to pay attention to the trip and reset it after every fill-up.

+1 on the blinker

+1 on the horn
