DO NOT play tag with another friend on a motorcycle by using engine kill switches to signify who is it
DO NOT try to let your friend steer your bike from his car DO NOT try to powerslide through turns like dirt track bikes DO NOT see how many girls can ride on your bike DO NOT make up your own traffic laws DO NOT split lanes when cars are already going above the speed limit DO NOT assume your apartment allows you to bring your bike inside DO NOT decide streaking would be much more fun on a motorcycle DO NOT do burnouts at intersections next to the police

R1 you missed some,
DO NOT dump the clutch at a dead stop DO NOT assume the car next to you will look before changing lanes DO NOT think "it's only 600cc's that's too small" DO NOT touch the brake lever near sand DO NOT be hard on the throttle in the rain DO NOT say, do, or think "I don't need a helmet today" for any reason

Re: The dumbest thing you have ever done on a bike??
Friggin A. You boys take away all my fun. I wanted to play with the n00bie.
 They hit the nail on the head. Ride like you are paranoid. EVERYONE is out to get you, EVERYONE wants to take you out. Use COMMON SENSE. It's nice to think that after a year of riding that you know everything, but you really REALLY don't.

As rewarding as you might think it'd be, don't steer the bike with your feet, because you can steer, and operate the throttle, but man, just try using the brakes!

the dumbest thing I have done was hit the front brake pulling into my landlords driveway. I live in phoenix, and he lives out towards the desert and his driveway is loose sand.
 dont ask me what i was thinking. Then there I was trying to show off for some guy and did a stoppie in front of my house, and the bike turned, and down I went...oh well. we all will fall eventually. |

you all might get a kick out of this, although its not really stupidity per se.
I bought an '81 Kawasaki and my friend was going to teach me how to ride it. We were going to this huge church parking lot for my lesson. I didn't exactly make it there. There were this s curve, and the first half wasn't quite as sharp as the second. I made the first one, but just couldn't quite turn on the second. You ever try explaining how to lean to make a bike turn to some idiot? My friend Pete hadn't either... Anyway, I was oh so slowly figuring it out when I ran out of curve and rode that sucker straight down this huge 15 foot deep drainage ditch (grass thank god) into about a foot of water. Since we'd let the old beast warm up for a long time, it make quite the scene hitting bottom between the spash of the 350 lb bike, the 250 lb rider and the steam from the scorching hot engine/pipes. I'm amazed I didn't ruin the bike since it ended on it's right ride with the throttle jammed open laying in said foot of water. 20 some odd minutes after we left we both arrive back at my buddy's place smelling like a collective swamp thing after he powered it back up the embankment a little ways down, me dripping blood from one leg and hand (that could have turned out a whole lot worse). His wife was just kind of like like WTF? I guess my moral of the story is helmets are good. Jeans are good. My riding gloves hadn't arrived from Dennis Kirk yet damn it. |

I guess the stuoidist thing i'vbe done is i was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I was riding home during my lunch break from work and a guy in an el camino decided that he wanted to make a left turn in front of me. he gave me a good 10 feet of room to stop. I hit his fender rolled off the front of the hood and landed in front of the truck. he then decided to get out of the road and in doing so ran pver my head with his right front wheel. I came out of it with only a broken collar bone and some bruises. I guess the moral of the story is wear all the protective gear at all times and be aware of everyone around you. I saw him and thought he might cut me off the whole time. Motorcycling is fun just watch out for the crazies.

Re: The dumbest thing you have ever done on a bike??
The dumbest ? Im sure im not the first to have done this, atleast I dont think the bike manufactures redesigned there bikes just for me, anyways, if you have an older bike always remember to put the kickstand up before you reach cruseing speed and try to make that left turn.
