Also one time I tipped my 450 over in a water crossing before I knew more about how motors work and tried kicking it over and over without taking the spark plug out first. The piston rocked on the wrist pin and punched a hole in the cylinder. Bent the crank as well.
Exclusively on two wheels now.
The last 6 or 7 years I rode or raced I would always smoke a big bowl of Norcal's finest and I smoked all day everyday as it was, so I had a built a big tolerance to it. Hell I would smoke starting at 8am on the freeway to my job as a loan officer. But the herb definitely helped me get in the zone. I know I'm gonna catch shit, but it really did keep me relaxed and focused. The times I've gotten hurt was when I didn't. I also used to take asprian because I heard it kept your blood thin and prevented arm pump, all it did was give me another ulcer.
One thing I would never do is ride with any booze in my system.
im not saying it was the dumbest thing, but it shure as fck wasnt the smartest thing.
Local track was having a Yamaha demo day. I was also scheduled to perform a military funeral that afternoon. I went back and forth on weather or not I should go. Then I obsessed over the time line and decided I was good. I had it all worked out and as long as I was first in line everything was gonna be good.
The day comes I wake the kid up early and we head to the track we both get signed up and I let the Yamaha rep know I have to be in and out quick. ( I worked at the track so was in before anyone else). He was cool about it. I rode the yz250f, yz250 and was excited to ride the yz125. I whisky throttle on the face of a table, bike goes flying I tuck and roll, bounce to my feet and run from the pain. Pick the bike up finish the lap and told the rep I wadded and bent the bars. He said not to worry about it and to park it behind the trailer. I look at the time and decide I still have time to ride the 450 so I jump in line. After 5 min in line I go to swing a leg over the 450 and the pain caught up to me. My knee was fucked. I wave to the next guy in line and tell him he can have it. I hobble back to the truck and into work to get changed into my uniform. Im thinking no big deal ill get one of the other Marines to present the flag. Unfortunately none of the others had ever presented and we junior to me. 45 minute drive to the cemetery and my knee is throbbing. We get into position before anyone shows up so no one will see my limping. Everything is going smooth, shots were fired, taps played, we raise the flag the fold was perfect. Then it was time for me to turn take a few steps, kneel down and present the flag. It took everything I had to keep a straight face and not yell as I kneeled down but I did it. Standing up hurt just as much as kneeling but no way was I gonna show any pain. then i had to grit my teeth and walk each step feeling like a dull screw driver being stabbed into my knee but I refused to limp. It was only about 20 steps until I was able to position myself behind the crowd and I stayed there until every one left so they would see my limping. By time we got back to work and changed over my knee was swollen as a football and my damn big toenail peeled off. Turned out it wasn't a good decision to go ride.
I have put directional tires on wrong. I've put pistons in backwards. I've forgotten to tighten seat bolts. I've mistook the white flag for the checkered and pulled off the track at Mammoth. Two guys passed me, and I jumped back on the track and passed them both back on the last lap. They must've been thinking WTF? I have forgotten my gas can at home. I've missed my moto.....This is just off the top of my head. I'm sure I have done more stupid shit than this...Shit happens when you've been motoing for 50 years, since you were 8....I've forgotten my racing pants at home, but I can honestly say I have NEVER EVER put them on backwards!
My parents were way less than pleased with me.

I’ve been riding so long that I can keep thinking of stupid shit that either I or my friends have done…. probably until the next time I do something stupid.
