One time riding in the mountains (By myself at that) I somehow hit the kill switch on the way down. I was on a mile length downhill and didn't notice for a bit. I hit the throttle and nothing. I didn't know WTF was going on. I slow down to about 25mph (Was at 80mph before) and then saw I hit the kill.
I got a buddy one time who was staring at a hot chick off to his left. I was on his right and hit his kill switch then took off knowing he'd chase after me. But he figured it out quickly since he did it to me before.
I also came close to kicking my buddy and myself off the road. We were on a 4lane road and we started to pretend kick each other. I ended up swerving over and kicked his bike and he kicked mine since I came so close. We both about went into the weeds with an audience of cars behind us.
Then this happend to a buddy (Sort of buddy) of mine. I was just out riding around and came upon a big motorcycle charity ride (Cops let people do wheelies and were running 100mph with a police escort) where I knew some friends where at. I saw them at a gas station so I pull in and do a small wheelie coming in.
My buddy weighs about 400lbs and is 5'5" and rode my old SecaII. He sucked at riding but thought he was the master plus a complete moron. But great entertainment if you weren't around him. Another guy on the ride was on a Harley and had his pretty decent looking old lady on the back. She gave a thumbs up to me for the wheelie. Genius not wanting to be outdone tried to do a burnout (400lbs planted on the seat) and kept stalling it. His 4th stall it jumped and he fell over. I almost fell over laughing.
Gotta say motorcycle riders are some major idiots (Me included). But it funner than hell though!!!
