I'm posting this in Motorcycle Safety, but please move, or delete, if it should be posted elsewhere, or not at all.
So, I did something stupid recently… You know one of those things you maybe laugh about. Afterwards. Maybe others can learn from my stupidity. Maybe you want to share something stupid you did. I call this… YOU IDIOT!!!
Anyway, I was riding along recently. Not some long distant stupid past, but just two weeks ago. And I look down at my handlebars and notice that my low beam switch is set, so I flick it up to high beam. Only it wasn’t my light switch. It was the red kill switch. I was going 75 mph on the 405 freeway when I got this bright idea. Nothing like a sudden loss of power to wake up the driver behind me, eh? Fortunately, I was able to restart and continue. I call this… YOU IDIOT!!! Or Motorcycle Dyslexia.
One more, because I have a million of ‘em I’m afraid, but am I the only one to ever pull into a gas station, real cool like, and get off my bike, real cool like, and step to the pump only to feel 800 pounds of ST hitting me across the back of the knees because I forgot to put the kick stand down? Should I admit I’ve done this twice?? YOU IDIOT!!!
Some of you might say I shouldn’t be riding, but it’s been 40 years and so far, so good!!
Share if you’ve ever been an IDIOT!!! In a good way!
