Other than stalling out in first a couple of times, I can't think of anything really embarassing.

This was a two for one sale.

My friend Mark and I ride to the local Dairy Queen to check out what's going on. ( back about 1983) Mark is on his RD400 and I'm on my '74 H1 500 triple.

Mark goes to leave but forgot to put up his kickstand. His intention was to go left out of the parking lot but did a 540* on the kickstand and ended up going to the right instead. Never missed a beat and wheelied away.

The girl I was talking to asked me "what are you going to do to top that?" So I decide to do a burnout.

I'm smoking the tire real good in second gear when the master link breaks on my chain. My chain goes zinging across the parking lot.

Since I didn't have an extra master link with me, I had a nice 1/2 mile push to one of my friend's house.
