After reading Vigil's thread on getting the Banana, and she was questioning her ability or skill set (out loud), which most of us would never do.
I was thinking to myself how many stupid things I have done on a bike, that either I paid no price for (no consequences) or only a very minor price was paid.
The first thing that came to my mind was a stupid (brain fart) I did last week.
I was visiting a friend unannounced and like my normal practice I ride by his house and rev the motor once (it is my doorbell)
go to the end of street turn around and by that time time he is outside.
This time I rev the Motor while passing his house and for some reason not paying much attention I let out the clutch a "little". Little is the key word here, but not little enough to not engage the engine.
needless to say the momentum of the engine and my slow speed made the bike lurch when I was not expecting it to do so, causing my body to pull back and roll back the throttle more (more throttle is not what I needed at that time)
this set up the next sequence of tearing my left hand from the handlebar, (and for those who are not paying a lot a lot attention) engaging the clutch fully. All I seem to see ahead of me was a very sturdy mailbox structure and something
that was going to leave a mark. Fortunately I recovered very quickly and averted disaster and looked around for witnesses that may seen the ridiculous sequence of events and hope they had not been recorded. This all happened due to my
lapse in concentration.
That is how fast stupid stuff can happen, and I thought we might all have a good laugh at some others brush with reality.
Don't know if this is stupid, but maybe considering i know I have a certain disability. I have a bad left knee the doctors are eager to replace. One time i came up to a stop light at a major intersection in downtown Sacrametno and planted both feet on the ground to stand up. Once i stud up, my left knee totally gave out and so did my 900 pound bagger. There we were, cars honking etc. I was trying to hurry as fast as possible.. yea right!!! Took me about 3 minutes to get that pig up and going, but i did it all by myself.
The last new bike I bought I was leaving the dealership and did not do my usual inspection to make sure all was as it should be. The service dept. failed to clean the tires of all the shipping snot on them so as I turned out of the service area where there was water on the ground the bike went down so fast I was left standing watching it turn in circles on it's side. I just stood there dumb founded watching it . Did $1600 damage and the dealer now cleans the tires. :nixweiss:
What stupid thing had you done lately?

Three years ago I bought my first bagger, black with lava red RCI. I rode to work in the morning and decided to park in the garage instead of parking lot to keep it clean. Parked in a spot, put the kick stand but before I put the bike on stand, I decided to move it because there was a two door piece of chit was next to me and I didn't want the guy to swing the door wide open and hit my new bike. Moved the bike to a safer spot, turned it off and let go before I realized didn't have the kick stand out. laid down the bike on guards and nearly broke my knee. Picked up the bike as fast as I could before anyone saw it using my back rather than my legs. Two hours later, my back hurt worse than my ego. Felt so stupid, I didn't tell any one for over a year.We all have had these stories........and it is always funny that we first look around to see if there are any witnesses
I pulled a stupid one today.... On the way to a benefit ride with Down Bikers for a buddy of mine I work with. I roared past our boss into a tight left hand corner. Long story short I put it into the ditch but I somehow rode it out about 40-50 yards down from my entry point. Missed a mailbox and a culvert. Damn stupid and Damn lucky!!!! Learned a valuable lesson and picked up a new nickname. By the end of the benefit everyone was calling me Ditch. Might get that sewn on my vest as a reminder to behave. Learn from my mistake, I know I have.Glad you survived the brain fart, but the nickname was great
Any 'damage' to the :pumpkin:? Except for the 'stripe' on the seat? Seriously, glad it turned out well and remember.........'ride safe'. :2vrolijk_21: har! spyder
Yeah, better'n 2brats. That implies naughty children and who needs bad kids.

I've got a buddy, who has a friend, who's neighbor dropped his bike in the garage weekend before last. Evidently, he was moving the black and orange one making room for a yellow one. Or, so I heard.
And his name was...........................Hogbreath! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: Ain't laffin' at you 'Bro, just laffin' with you!
Later--HUBBARD
I knew I shouldn't have bragged about "never dropping my bike". Didn't hurt a thing, just eased over on the crash bars.
I have a buddy who rode from Texas to Alaska, and stopped on the way at a HD dealership in Colorado. Put her fork lock on, and went inside for a break. Came out and mounted up, rode off...but not very far! Forgot to take her fork lock off. Right in front of a busy dealership. Oooops.
My friend told me that Road Kings are lighter than Ultras but I wouldn't know, never dropped an Ultra.

True, I'll give you this, but....
Always said the bike would lose the tensioners. That's not a mod. It's an improvement; dammit!
And... well.... the way it's geared and where it's torque curve is now it begs for one more gear out on the highway. New cams will move the torque curve even earlier. Gear set will be even handier then.
It was a bad good phone call. Bored by what I was supposed to be doing. Wanting to call someone on my own so no one else who wanted to call me could. Voila, inspiration.... Call Dave Mackie!!that?? :confused5: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:
You know. Just to get information. That's all. Just to further define the choices. For the time this winter when the Road Glide will lose the cam tensioners. Scored a great price on a six speed gear through eBay last week so it should all be done at the same time (shouldn't it :nixweiss: ? [really, would be silly not to { :oops: rationalizing bastard!! :oops: }]) .
So I call Dave. And he is as perfectly informative and helpful as ever. Simply a great guy to speak to and work with. Just getting information after all. Not ready to get parts yet. So 20 minutes later the call is over and I've spent whatever cams, gear drive kit, gaskets, lifters, oil pump and a cam plate cost.
Oh yeah, Barry Gerolamy's reworked throttle body is already here. So are the dress up lifter blocks, pushrod tubes, rocker boxes and the adjustable pushrods (some are leftovers from red bike unzippification). The six speed kit is here. Greg is fixing me up with a side cover for cheap. UPS should deliver the new clutch cable and a couple of other small parts tomorrow. So, yeah, I'm not really doing anything to the Road Glide as a winter project right now. Just maintenance.....
Tell JD I hosed the $750 limit. I should be spanked.
True, I'll give you this, but....that?? :confused5: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

It's nothing big. Mackie's 510 cam in gear drive trim. It's a close competitor to Woods W6G that Jim has recommended as a good option for a stock 95. Mackie's comments echoed Jim's completely. I'm just fan enough of Mackie's that with very comparable options I can't help but go his way.
Nothing big Don? ? ? ? ?
It's the power.
Power has corrupted so many.
I'm scared it may even get you with those Mackie heads.

Yesterday morning I went out to the local gas station for a cup off coffee and a sausage & biscuit. just as I was leaving, a guy pulled up on a RoadGlide to get gas. It was colder than a well diggers a$$ in alaska, like 20 degrees or so, and the wind was blowing 25-30 MPH. He was bundled up with coats, gloves, full face helmets neck warmers etc. I thought to myself--that is one tough SOB. SO, I walked over and said--Freezing your nards off?Sure wish I could have seen the look on your face when you turned around and walked away. :D ;D :D ;D
and a female voice answered me...Yea..it's pretty cold.

I was leaving my sisters house who has a steep driveway and was using my front brake as I let my bike roll back down to the street. My sister and her husband and two kids were standing in the garage watching me leave waving to me as I let the bike speed up just alittle too much so I applied the front brake just as my rear tire went onto the street and my front tire was still on the driveway. My feet couldn't reach the ground and. . .

Don't beat yourself up over it Ken. That seems like an understandable mistake....See Reply #267 (http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=24882.msg778627#msg778627)

No.:huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:
Loaded both bikes in the new toyhauler last week-end for a "shakedown" trip to Homestead, Fl. I laid the Wheeldocks on the floor and ran two straps over each bike.
Have I mentioned that I know better?
Stopped about 60 miles down the road and checked. Hers had twisted under the straps and was leaning on mine ever so slightly. We stood it back up and I re-positioned the straps.
Have I mentioned that I know better?
Stopped in Clewiston, everything fine. Stopped for potty break just outside of Homestead. Disaster! Her Black Diamond Springer was laying on my engine guard and my Inferno Orange Springer was almost over (handle bar kept it up) Needless to say we were somewhat dismayed!
Have I mentioned I know how to tie a bike down with FOUR straps?
I bought some more straps and tied all four corners for the return trip with no problems.
I straightened the mirror and adjusted the bars on Orange,will have to buy a new grip. The insurance adjuster will be by tomorrow to look at Black.
Gas tank,front fender, outer primary, switch cover, etc. Estimate $3,500! Best local paint shop said it will be cheaper to replace than try to fix.

GAAAA, I just laid our for two sets of these things thinking they were the catsasss...
Today, I strike up another near miss.Dang, that's as bad as 'black ice'. spyder
I am stuck at work all day and at 4:00 I AM FREE.
I need gas and hop on the bike and head down the road.
Coming up on an intersection that I need to make a right, I start to pull on front brake (yes I am being very lazy and do not apply rear brake)
I get in these bad habits and think I am immune)
Well the bike starts to go all over the place and I cannot steer at all.
I am only going 25 and cannot stop or steer.
I miss the turn and heading toward the far curb.
finally I let front brake go and miss car and curb to recover.
I am now realizing that the oil smell did not come from the gas station, but from the road.
There is diesel all over the road that I did not even see because there is so much all over and the roadway is all black.
Man that stuff is slick, thought I hit a patch of ice.
When it rains you can usually see the shine and that is super slick also.
I was caught daydreaming or thinking of something else and did not see that hazard.
I was lucky today.
still trying to get my AH out of my throat.

Stupid, Stupid & Stupid. I told my wife I was going to the Harley Shop. At the entrance of my Neighborhood, "Four Lanes", I cross two lanes of traffic to get to the other two Lanes. I am sitting in my entrance and a large boom truck gets in the turning lane into my neighborhood, I am thinking he may not have enough room to swing in without hitting me. Instead of rolling backwards and giving him room, I looked, did not see anything beside him, cars way behind him, I made a split second decision to cross the two lanes of traffic on Big Red.
When I cross his frontend and looked to my left, I not only pulled out in front of one but two other pickup trucks beside him in the blind spot!!!!!! :oops: They both hit their brakes and tried to go right but the lager truck was in the way. The truck in the passing lane, (running about 55 mph) hit me about my saddle bag behind my left hip. I herd the crash and the next thing I know, I am crouched down looking at my bike from the front saying 'Stupid, Stupid & Stupid....... The Lord took me off of that bike. I only had a scratch on my hand, elbow and back. I never hit the ground. :o :(
I made a split second decision
