I filled up with diesel fuel once. Not knowing what it was.Man my bike did not like that LMAO. I syphoned it all out and added 93 octane with some octane booster. I ran through 2 or 3 tanks before it was running fine again. Then I changed out the plugs and fuel filter. It still runs great to this day.

More recently i took the tank off my bike... and when i put it back on i forgot to thighten the bolt by the triple tree. I no longer have a bolt holding my gas tank down....

On a car though... once i was replacing the transmission in my subaru (a very difficult job... you have to remove the engine and the transmission) After i dropped the engine in and started bolting the transmission on.... I realized i forgot to put the clutch in :s.... I took the engine and transmission out of this car about 10 times.....

Put a piston in backwards on a Kx250 once, ran about 3 seconds then BANG! One time I was grinding chain links off the bike chain, little did I know sparks where flying right over the parts washer...luckily the lid was closed and it didn't catch on fire.

Lol. Your a crack up Deej...

Once i was riding along in a 100k zone, car up my tail (as they do) we were doing about 120ks and the jumper i had in my bag flew out and my chain picked it up. Cruising along at 120ks and my back wheel has just locked up for no reason. It snapped my chain guard into little peices and strewn them all over the road. I had to try to keep the bike up and pull over without getting hit by the car that was tailgating me. I will never forget to zip my bag up again...

those are all good!!!! but ive got one for you

a few years back we had the hells angels visit the town and we are a smnall town but we got cops from 4 neighboring states plus feds that week in town to make sure the angels behave.
i was at the bar one night drinking with a few of the angels and i decided that i had better move my bike for some reason, i wasnt going to ride it, just move it!! i handed the keys to the bartender for a sec so the cops couldent get me with a DUI and i proceded outside, and i am freaking drunk as could be. im smoking and i get on the bike, i have absolutly no ballance what so ever and dump it on its side. the heel of my boot gets caught underneath and breaks the pet-**** off and gas starts spewing everywhere (me still smoking) somehow my cig falls and i freaking run like hell it landed on the base of my pant leg and sends my leg up in flames. my best friend runs over and puts my leg out with his jacket (still smells burnt as hell).

some of the DEA agents that were in town mixed with some staties from colo see my leg on fire and start running over to me, but then a fight breaks out in the bar between the angels and someone else and the cops turned around and went for them instead. i flreaking ran like hell home and never heard anything more,

lucky night have not and will not do anything that stupid ever again!!!

lets hear it lol i got enough yelling at for this one

sup_uni with a bike that sweet I'd never think of you to be a flammerJ/K man. but did you get hurt at all?

Last fall I rode to pick my G/F up after class and was early so parted in the motorcycle parking (ony place to park for free on campus) that is also coble stone. Got off my bike got her helmet out of the net and standing directly behind it the wind comes up or some (still don't know to this day) and my bike goes over on the exhuast side on a curb and I now have a great racing strip that just happens to look like the inprint of the curb all the way down my bike, muffler included. Moral of the story don't part on cobble stone or any other extremely uneven surface. But now that the entire bike is LineXed I say F$%K those curbs!!!

wow guys, i'm glad so many peopleposted lol. good to show the noobs that crap happens to everyone. sup_uni, it was VERY smart of you to leave your keys with the bartender, but MAN the stuff that followed woulda scared the poop outta me lol. just a side note about DUIs. i got an impaired in a car that wasn't even moving. i was told that u can't be within 15 feet of your vehicle with your keys. anyway, i got another one. i just bought my '07zx6r and had about 1000kms on it. time for the first dealer maintainance. well they were just gonna change the oil and check for loose nuts and bolts, it was also the long weekend in july. so i REALLY wanted to ride. i couldn't get my bike in til the next week so i told them i'd change the oil. i did EVERYTHING to get the stupid oil filter off short of using a torch lol. screwdriver through it and everything. almost gave up but just as i was about to it came loose. moral of the story, buy a $3 oil filter wrench [8D]. oh and the dealership wanted $64 for one haha.

After ripping my farings off for paint prep I put everypiece of hardware in labeled zip locks. After all that careful attention I managed to loose two or three bags and had to use random metric bolts and self-tappers to get everything back on. It looks good but the three screws that hold the cowl to the left side faring are galvanized pan-heads instead of the black painted ones that come stock..

went to give my bike an oil change. drained the oil, replaced the filter, got a phone call and figure i'd make good use of my time by pouring the new oil into the bike while talking on the phone. poured 3 plus quarts of fully synthetic though and through the engine right back into the oil pan (luckily still sitting under the bike) doh!
