I had a buddy do a top end, then forgot to put oil back in. Fired it up, no bueno.

22 years ago I had the flu. I was 1st in a local "championship series" in the 85 supermini & 7-11 class with one race left to go. The night before the race I ate noodles with parmesan cheese to get carbs for energy and again had some for breakfast. I wasn't hungry at all but forced myself to eat it to get food and carbs in my body. First moto in 7-11 class by the 2nd turn I was puking non-stop in my helmet and rode the whole race with it. First moto of supermini I nearly passed out before it ended. During the break my mom had me slamming gatorade and eating a couple bananas. 2nd moto of 7-11 class I was puking everything again and barely finished the supermini 2nd moto.

To this day if I even smell parmesan cheese, banana, or lime gatorade it makes me want to hurl.

When I was like 13 I changed the main jet in my YZ125 and forgot to put the bowl drain plug back in. After kicking it to no avail and sweating my ass off I finally noticed gas puking out of the carb.

I sprayed Armor All on the seat cover of my XR80. I learned my lesson and never did it again.

Good ol' AA...Bout' 30 yrs ago I had detailed my HD including the seat with AA. Well go to pick up my girlfriend and she gets on. I whack the throttle and off the back she goes. Ends up with a broken arm...so much for my plans for that evening.

In the late 80's a local pro did such a thing at action sports SX in ohio. Got drunk before the race, while leading the A class by a good ways he pulled over and puked in his helmet, then went back out and won the race. I believe he was leading the 2nd moto and pulled off.

-Stole the nozzle from carb cleaner can to use on chain lube can
-put it back, while pointed at me, 10 inches from my face, with my mouth open
-pushed a little too far
-blasted a bunch of carb cleaner in my mouth and nose, resulting in 50% of brain cells gone.
-also melted my retinas resulting in very blurry vision
-my moto was in staging, still raced it
-1/5 stars, not recommended
