Christmas 1959. Tacoma Motorcycle sales delivered my new Yamaha YD2. I rolled it out Christmas day for my first ride.[until then I had a mini bike with one speed.] So I roar up and down the street tapping the shift lever from first, to first, to first thinking all the time I'm really doing good. By accident I somehow hit second. WOW! This thing really goes. Finally I figured out how to shift the thing. Thank God nobody was watching I felt like a fool. I was just 16.

Pulling up to a red light without downshifting and then trying to take off in 6th gear when the light goes green. Then spending another 30 seconds tying up traffic trying to get it into 1st.:banghead::spank:

I do that from time to time too! To prevent embarrassment, I look around like it wasn't me - which is idiotic in itself because people know that cars horns don't sound like that, just motorcycles and scooters

You're put-putting down the street, on your merry way with a 50cc scooter. Then all of the sudden you have a 100+ pound Golden Retriever on an intercept course towards you.
The 50cc isn't strong enough to slow down and take off (as they teach in MSF) so the big dog ends up in front of your scooter and you fly over the handle bars. lol Came out with only scratches and a broken beloved scooter (dog just yelped away, he was ok).
That was my first two-wheeled machine back in 1988. Because of that accident, the owner basically paid for my next bike - 1987 Yamaha YSR50!

What you SHOULD do is start giving the finger to a random person, so it looks like they pissed you off and made you use the horn!

Trying to look SUPER hott on your bike with your crush around and you take off to look bad ass and end up hitting N instead of 2nd and the bike revs up super loud... durrrr
When you go to pull out of the parking lot and two kids are standing there saying nice bike, and you go to start it and it dies, try to start and dies, try to start and then it dies again....you look up at the kids as they start to laugh, look down, put up the kick stand....then start it....OMG did I feel like an idiot....
haha smooth!
my own:
you upshift 1->2 and continue on the throttle, only to find yourself slowing down. congratulations, you didn't kick hard enough to pass neutral!
did this today on my duo ride. also smooth
