Hmmm , If the insurance man reads this I’m in deep **** .
I bought a 6 month old YZF750SP , I had just learned how to lift the front wheel , had a barbeque one Sunday and yours truly decided to try and impress the wife and mates , jeans and T shirt , no helmet and no boots , got the wheel up , then there was an almighty bang and the front just dropped dead , the chain had snapped,mangled the swinging arm ( Spondon megabucks), ripped a hole in the crankcase , burst my nose when I headered the instuments and had severe road rash.
Funniest thing I’ve seen my mate do was try to pass me ( I was in a car ) on a road into the local leisure centre , he came wheelying past at a fair speed and was too busy watching my car when he hit a speed bump , catapulted himself into a lamp post , nobody could get out of the car to help as we were all too busy laughing.

Stupidist (est ?)
Hmmmmm lets see… ah yes..
5 up on my old 550 Honda coming back from the pub one night !. 1 on the tank, 3 squeezed on the seat and 1 on the back rack….and we only had one helemt between the 5 of us.
Riding across the Yorkshire Mooors on a bike holiday without my helmet on. Stopped at the end of the moor and for some reason had a funny feeling the split link on the bike’s final drive chain was missing. Had a look and it was…missing !!!!. How that chain never came off, I will never know.
There are other times that can normally be described as a ‘High Puckered Sphincter’ content type of event, but dont want the missus to find out.
Embarrassing, yeah I’ve had a few.
Dropped the same 550 in front of a load of girlies I was trying to be cool in front of. Made a hell of a clang as it went down. didn’t know if I could pick it up cos I hadn’t tried before. Got it up okay, then started up and went to pull away and promptly stalled it cos I was trying to change gear with the rear brake !!!(I was a bit shaken up…honest)
Playing cool dude on my Harley a few months ago whilst in Akrotiri, saw this drop dead gorgeous girl (pretty enough to make a Bishop kick a stained glass window in !) and was so busy I didnt see the speed ramp….or the puddle just behind it. Hit the ramp …which got my attention back straight away,,,then went through the puddle. Ever seen a bike with a bow wave ?..chuffing water went everywhere, and it wasnt clean. I was wearing an open faced helmet and had a wash then !. The Bike looked like I’d just finished the Paris Dakar rally during a monsoon. What could I do in that situation except look dead ahead and prtetend it didnt happen and piddle off round the corner a bit quick !. Took me most of the following day to get it back to its usuall pristine shine.

I bought this early 80s model yamaha cafe racer, back when racing bikes “only” weighed 500 lbs. The most embarrasing thing that happed to me is when the bike would fall over accidently at a stop or slow turn and I couldnt pick it back up again.
