the most STUPID thing you have ever done on a bike...

[thehammer69]

I was just thinking about this and figured I would make a thread to see who can out do the other by posting the most stupid thing they ever did on a bike.

I think this is mine...I ran Deal's Gap at night...drunk :eek:

How about you?

[Mike]

While riding my FJR back to SC, I fell asleep on the interstate (I-476 between Allentown and Philly), in dense traffic, at 80mph, FOUR times in a row. Yep, I should be very dead.

[Surfdancer]

Back when I was young (and indestructible), I used to load my dirt bike into the back of my pickup truck by riding up a 2 x 6.

I hit the end of the truck bed too hot one time, bounced back and did a backflip on the bike when my rear tire came off the tailgate.

Hurt my ego (I was still in gear), but that's all.

I wish someone had shot video of that.

I got from here to dallas in 12 hours.. on a HawkGT.

left here EARLY in the morning (like 1 or 2am)... and hauled ass nicely at first..nothing crazy, but by the time i got to the far side of atlanta, i just kinda started going faster... didnt even slow down for cars, just split between them, around them, whatever.
12 hours of idiot interstate riding, bike pinned just below the rev limiter the whole time.
when i needed gas, i never even got off the bike. didnt eat anything, didnt drink anything.
somewhere in mid Louisiana, my jacket came loose from the wind, and made the sleeve flap. made my right bicep so sore that when i got there, i couldnt lift my arm.
didnt even have earplugs in... so i couldnt hear. just the loud LOUD ringing-tone. thats it. someone would have to be looking at me and practically yell for me to hear them.

only real stop on that trip was when i was pulled over... i was going 115-ish (indicated 125) when i looked over, and theres a mississippi state trooper saying "PULL OVER".
i didnt notice him since i cant see my mirrors when tucked (no windscreen of anykind.. so im tucked in tight the whole time)
apparently he was behind me for MILES... or so he said.
he looked at my license.. then looked back at the plate.. asked where i was going... "dallas"... looked back at me, my license, my plate and said "i have another call" and left.
i got off with a warning. go figure that out. lol.

[Professor Fate]

1st. A year after buying my first bike(Suzuki) I pulled into Yam/Suz of Chas and asked for a job. From there not laying Steve Brooks out with a fork tube after he wouldn't get off my ass! :lol:
2nd. Getting bent out of shape over a sorry C*nt. Polishing off a bottle of rum and then riding from S Ville to GC.

[MrDude_1]

Getting bent out of shape over a sorry C*nt. Polishing off a bottle of rum and then riding from S Ville to GC.

not so much the drinking, but if riding while pissed about some girl counts..... ive done that a few times.. ive actually pulled over a few times because id get myself too pissed off and i needed to calm down before i splatted myself somewhere...
last February i was pissed thinking about an argument with this one girl... was going from 526 onto 26 (where that dude wrecked a year ago) and the front started pushing on the expansion joints... looked down during that short straight between that left curve and the right merge-turn and realised i was doing 120...:eek:

i slowed my happy ass down and got off at aviation.. bikes + pissed off = trouble.

[fasterthanyours]

I've done some pretty stupid shit while driving my car like falling asleep after get on 26 at 77 in Columbia and waking up at 95, going woah....

The only thing stupid I would say I've done is when I first got my bike for the first to years I used to go out riding with everyone on Sundays. A 600 ain't super fast, but you're really moving when it's pegged...That was pretty stupid, almost every weekend too.

[mccutch2u]

bought a bike to start now I have been addicted ever since

[CBRjunkie]

The dumbest thing i've ever done is trying to drag knee in jeans when I first started riding. Makes me cringe thinking about the pain I could have been in if I had wrecked.

[SUM650]

Doing wheelies while wearing gym shorts, wife beater, & sneakers.

Yes, of course I crashed. That is what happens to idiots! I still don't know if that is the stupidest thing. I've got a pretty long list unfortunately.

[jason 41]

Did a track day on street tires when somebody told me not to..... Broke my wrist and collar bone and had to hear the dreaded "I told you so".

[mccutch2u]

yeah I think that we can all go on forever

[crash]

Well maybe muccutch could but I don't recall doing anything stupid.:lol:

[mccutch2u]

not someone who calls himself crash.................

[Turbo speed]

Oh wow havent let this one out there yet...but what the hell....

Ok so i had a chick that bitched alot. So one day she wanted to talk. I figured meeting at a public place may mute her a bit. So we met at ryan on rivers. long story short she came in just as i sat down and started to eat and screamed at me in public...bitch! so I go out side {without a full stomach} hop on my zx6r and ride to the end of the parking lot. Im pissed and rock a whelie threw the parking lot. As soon as i set it down i saw a tree about 75yrs away....with 50yrds of sand between me and it! skiiiid flip HIGHSIDE! i went airborn and looked out to everyone in ryans watching me sail threw the air. hit the ground scuffed hands bruised hip, broke foot peg rashed fairings and still had a bitch for a gf.... awww to be young and dumb! oh well. lol live and learn/crash and burn

[Turbo speed]

btw good thread hammer!

[MrDude_1]

another short stupid one.
working at Daimler Chrysler under contract.... theres two ways to the building.. the main 4lane straight highway (boring)
or the back way.. 2 lane twisty, hilly... (fun)

so naturally when i ride my hawk to work, i take the back way.
if you ever work at Daimler Chrysler, dont go passing the black Mercedes at 90 because hes "in your way right before the really good turns".... because the people driving the black Mercedes will get pissy and have you removed from the building. :lol:

on that note, i wheelied in the parking lot at work this morning.... but it was before 7am and almost noone was here yet.

[burns]

Mine would be...I was up for 52 hours and just got back into town from the Dealer Show. Knowing that I needed sleep, I got on my motorcycle and went for a two hour ride.
Red Bull had me jacked up.

[jason 41]

I went down to homestead to race on tires I bought off of Ebay. I made it three laps on those things and then........ Kapowieeeeeeee! High side turn seven at about 110mph. :lol: Good times!

[DK]

I return home from a surfing trip to south africa without my father as he has plans on staying down there for another 2 weeks or so. I just happen to know where the keys are to the storage unit that contains some of the bikes in his collection. I of course go down there and pick up the rarest machine in his arsenal. The 1986 Honda NS 400.

(Crazy thing about this Canadain model machine was that it was imported via Champion Honda on Dorchester and sold to a guy in the Navy. Still have original papers. Same bike O-1 has now)

Weather was about 34 degrees outside just after new years. It's 5:00 pm or so and I have my friends tailing me in the truck from the storage unit. I take a slip road right next to Middleton high school that goes past the school right into 2 90 degree turns, a left into a right hander. NS is geared very tall for street riding and I scream down the road trying to clear the plugs out from the cold weather/stop and go traffic.

I dive into the left hander no problem, showing off for no one but myself. Then I flip it over on the right hand side to finish the next corner. Rear end breaks loose, rebounds right off the ground over a man hole cover. With handlebars still in my hands, the tail light promptly changes position with the headlight. The tail section then became very aggressive with my new helmet and decided it needed some more color in it. Smacking me in the head while trying my best olympic hand stand dive from the top triple clamp. I roll over the handlebars while listening to the high revved zing the engine omits from when it goes from being totally loaded to backyard billy's peak rpm rev limiter spark plug cleaning. Landing flat on my bike and then rolling across the pavement as I try to witness my inevitable collapse of my rib cage from a 360lb bike about to land on my chest.

The bike just misses me and spins in the middle of the opposing lane beaming me with the headlight in the evening sunset as if to showcase the scene of the accident.

My buddies are only 30 seconds or so behind me and never see the incident. They just watch me pimp walking bike to to limp machine laying on the ground. Pick it up off the ground, popping the gravel out of my back from where my jacket had lifted up pelting my buddy like pop rocks as they are laughing their asses off. Ride home with only one right side footpeg.

Stare at machine in driveway for about an hour before I clean myself up.
Then spend the next two hours in the bath tub trying to figure out how I was going to pay for repairs with $3.00 a week allowance. Hey I could make $9.00 a weekend if a cut front, back and side lawns of the house. At $12.00 per week, it was going to be a long time before I could erase that look on my father's face.

I have only had 5 incidents on the street all but 1 being my own fault. The other being a countershaft sprocket seal that popped out of engine case after fuel tank was leaking gas. 99 GSXR 750. Made it all the way from the shop to Ladson road before I had to make a left hand turn. Had I blown the yellow light like I had planned, making the intersection at speed I would not have been able to ride that bike again. Waited for red light, and when peeling away from 78 the rear tire lit up like it was on ice spinning me around at less than 5 miles per hour. :smilebig:

[patrickzx10r]

damn that was long and in depth. what did your dad do?

ohh and need i say more on mine!!!

[SUM650]

Right now I've got to say the two most entertaining stories are DK's and Randys. They both had me rolling.

[Nash]

Once while riding down Hwy 41, I think, there were two hot blondes buying watermelons at roadside stand. Of course, I was looking to my left at the hotties, then tooted my horn. When looking back the direction I should be looking, there was a car stopped trying to make a left turn! I hit the brakes, but it was too late. I smacked the car, flipped over the back of the car on to on-coming traffic. As I rolled on the ground, a Cadillac in the opposite lane swerved to missed me as my foot brushed the side of the Cadillac door. Pretty damn lucky! As I get up, guess who comes to see if I was alright? Yep, the two blondes…..pretty embarrassing.

[ND4SPD]

Did you get a phone number out of it at least?

[Nash]

Did you get a phone number out of it at least?


Ha ha...No, but my friends were quick to tell my girlfriend, who came to pick me and the bike up. :wall:

[fasterthanyours]

One time when turning onto the twisty part of Airport road from 526 exit, I blew by an unmarked popo. I didn't pass anyone illegally on the road, but I wasn't going slow either since there wasn't anyone in front of me. I was on my old FZ1. Anyway I booked it down Airport Rd on my way to the Yamaha on Dorchester. I pulled into the parking lot and this guy flew in behind me. He jumped out of his car and started yelling at me. The usual, do you know how fast you were going stuff. But the best thing he said was, "Did you know I had to drive into oncoming traffic to catch up with you?" My first thought was, "OH no you didn't have too, dumbass" Of course i just sat there and took my $400 Wreckless Ticket. 2 motorcycle cops and another car pulled up LMAO. Guess they thought I'd be hard to catch.

[fasterthanyours]

Another one, I was in MB for the Harley Bike week after I just bought my bike. I was up there with a good friend and another guy. We were on 21st Street on our way to Broadway for something. I got the bright idea to show off and sit on the tank for a few minutes. As soon as I jumped up on the tank I looked over at one of MBs finest parked in an empty lot. F&%K! I scooted down into the seat and proceed to drive slowly towards Broadway. I turned into broadway, while unknown to me my 2 friends were blocking the cop back at the red light LOL As I turned into Broadway and putted around in the parking lot a freaking Helicopter comes flying right over me. WTF, guess I was running then too.

I don't sit on the tank anymore or screw around while in MB.

DK if you dont tell the fire extiguisher story and how you wound up in jail i will!!!! LMAO
