Re: Funny mistake by me
i can better that mate, for most of my riding life i've used crash helmets with the simple push button to open catch, but when i came back to biking after a lay off i bought a lid with double d system, well another 18mths passes after my accident and 2 weeks ago i start riding again, but guess what, i'd forgotten how to fasten my crash helmet.......doh!!!!!!
it took me 10 mins to figure it out

Re: Funny mistake by me
silliest thing i did on mine was when i put it back together i accidentally fitted the gear linkage upside down and couldnt get the gearbox to work at all.
i very nearly took the engine out to strip it thinking the box had gone lol, couldnt find a neutral lol
the fly thing.... after eating a burger one day i was fiddling with a bit of beef stuck in my teeth... couldnt get it out with my tongue and it was driving me mad so i picked it out with my finger, only to find an empty bluebottle with no legs
niiiice. when you know where its spent most of the day :/

Re: Funny mistake by me
my plank of the week is a combination of age and being so used to contact lenses from years ago - dropping off a tool at Kev's, I got all geared up to go and he said "you might want to put those on" - specs still lying on the tank . Ooops -
As a youngster I forgot to put a sump plug back and had to go and get my dad to ask why I'd used 5l, or whatever it was in those days, of oil? He was looking at my feet that had gone a bit shiny, some might say oily.
And in terms of digesting things - was munching on some lovely bombay mix years ago, when it went right bitter and nigh on undigestible. The missus had put a dead ladybird and some toe nail clippings in there thinking I didn't want them anymore

Re: Funny mistake by me
Years ago I sold a Hornet 600, the guy came round done the paper work, paid the money and it was time to ride his bike away, turned the key and nothing I couldnt work out why the bike wouldnt start.
I even phoned round to see if a garage was open to buy a new battery.
Cut a long story short, I left the bike in gear.
I felt a right Cnut.

once bought and fitted a new central heating water pump. funny thing was the new one made no difference!. discovering someone had turned the room stat down soon cured it though ! ( bo*&*cks) the old one had been sticking though and had to be coaxed with a rubber mallet to get going..

Re: Funny mistake by me
Picture the scene, I was due to pick up the Firestorm at 7:00 PM after work, mt first ever road bike. I couldn't wait, but then got called back into work, then it started raining, then it got dark. Not to be put off, I went and got it around 9:30 in the pitch black and it was the first time I had ridden it, or indeed any bike since my direct access.
I hopped on, and rode in the pissing rain back to my house and was pleased I got back all in one piece. I put the sidestand down, and went to get off, however I hadn't put the side stand over center, so it simply folded back up resulting in me dropping it on the very first night of ownership!! Luckily I fell into two recycling bins and caused no damage lol!
