Default Your Oopsie ride of the week

Been done Im sure...

But what did you do this week that was a like oopsie.....

Well this Friday I was stuck in 2 miles of stopped cars......

And all of a sudden a car cut me off and almost hit me.My bike dove 2' into a closed 3lanes dug up for re-paving..construction shutdown for the day.Well Im nervous being across from a police station so I haul the heck down the road until the paving begins..I notice the 3 foot ramp between the new road and old.....Well I ended up going about 40mph....Lifted the bike onto the pavement...Launched 15 foot on my rear tire and carried a wheelly 60 more foot out......Wow...Amazing ride...Felt guilty cause I didnt end up there on purpose...

Rocco...

Needed an adrenaline rush so I road 30 miles of gravel roads sliding corners and running the ol klx as hard as I could. Pulled into a gas station to fill up lost my balance and almost crashed in front of the pumps. Ooops.

Mine was dropping my KLX-300 muffler in the road. The ride home would have made the Harley guys proud even though I only have one-cylinder.

Went over a short but steep bridge in town going way too fast and lifted the front wheel up for what seemed like an eternity. First wheelie I've ever done and it was by accident

The best part? 2 Cops were standing on the sidewalk on the other side of the bridge!

Caterpillar's sting?

I ran over some fire ant mounds and I bet they are the bastards that gave me a flat out of nowhere 20 minutes later.
