I must have assumed that after delivering such an entertaining performance that it was my tip. You know what they say about "ass-u-me"Bawdy Monk said:I'm in tears here..
WHY After all that did you even think about picking up a dime?
I did that once and then a friend gave me a cloth ribbon to attach to the disc lock and then loop around the handle bar. I never forgot again!.........................good work kbasa Thanks for shareing your highly embarassing story, I feel a little better about myself now.LICK MY BRICK said:I never did the I forgot the kickstand thing,but I forget the front disc lock thing twice

The Veg said:But the most embarrasing one was recently. I was on a backroads ride with three clubmates a few weeks ago. I was out on the R100R I'd just bought and was beaming with pride, especially as the K and Oilhead riders I was with seemed impressed with the bike. We had just had a great lunch in a charming small town in east TX and we were saddling up and readying to roll. I was the first to get started and pulled out of from the curb and turned left. The engine wasn't very warm and I must not have given it enough gas. The engine quit mid-turn and of course the resulting hard-stop didn't help much. I dropped rapidly to the left but hadn't fully retracted my foot yet so I got a good fight in. Still went down on the cobblestones but a) gently and 2) landed on the crash bar at a hauntingly familiar not-too-far-down angle. My clubmates were quite concerned but also pretty impressed when I easily hauled it back up- these guys never rode a Beemer under 600 lbs! No damage save a pinky-nail-size patch of exposed brass on the carsh bar.
