Haha, nice one Punchy
First day I had my 250 ninja. It wasn't tagged and I wasn't wearing any gear plus it was still a little wet out. Figured I'd keep it on my dad's long driveway and do a few passes to get used to the bike. No problems, then I decide to do my best Jeremy Clarkson impersonation by yelling POWER to myself and going WOT. Went into the corner too fast (for my skills) and my bike goes wide. As soon as it touches the grass I go down into the mud. Broke an indicator, put mud on everything, bent my rear brake and my handlebars, I walked away unharmed.

Who saw this?

My girlfriend from the car.
My father from his bedroom window.
My neighbor and his family who were playing next door.
My grandfather from the barn.

Ego crushed, didn't bother tagging the bike for two months. Afterwards I read everything I could on safe riding.

ADBOT LOVES YOU
