  * 40 Getting pissed off for dropping it in the first place, yanking it vigorously off the ground, only to have it drop to the _other_ side.

Thanks for the laugh, it's all so painfully true and it helps redress the ballance for the times when I was the only one not laughing.

130 Pull up outside the bar, dab the front brake only to find it's on a flattened beer can and do the dreaded slow motion staggering splits in front of all your mates.

131 Your helpful nephew polishes your seat with silicon dashboard spray. You jump on the bike, shoot straight off the other side, jump up angrily, trip and take the bike with you.

132: riding down pigs during a hunt, and have a startled (& very angry) kangaroo leap up into the lap of the rider, & pummel him for the 15 seconds he was able to remain upright Grin

(obviously NOT on a ducati).

Ill add one that probably wasnt mentioned (no I didnt read all 128)

Parking your bike on a slightly off cambered road to check on your buddy that just wrecked in front of you and while you pick up HIS bike, your bike tosses itself into the guardrail/gravel due to a freak gust of wind  bang head

So where's "Own a Ducati with an automatic retracting kickstand?"  I've test-ridden a couple, and just KNOW that'd bite me in the butt sooner rather than later.  laughingdp

#101, "Trying to start out in a quick turn (leaning in anticipation of giving it throttle) and stalling it out because the engine hasn't warmed yet - it's a nice, slow drop..." is pretty much a word for word description of my first DOH! on the Monster.

    * 4 Missing the driveway and sliding on the grass.
slightly amended to taking off down the driveway, seeing a car coming down the street at the last second and swerving into the wet grass....same result



    * 5 Not putting the kickstand down when getting off.
my dad did this a couple of years back.... while sitting on a bike in a dealership


i'll also add having the side stand on your 30 year old honda rust off leaving you with a bike on it's side and a fairly large hold in the frame where it was once attached

Standing over a bike in the dealership and simply spacing out...

Happened to the 4 year old girl I take care of over the weekend. Her little brain just freaked out that there was a bike just her size.  laughingdp

About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

Starting your bike to warm it up, neutral light on (bike in IZ_ neutral), with spring loaded kickstand.

Trying to put pitbull stand on bike by yourself and watching bike fall to the right, and hitting the next bike which hit the next bike which hit the next bike which fell all the way over.
