:D:D:D

I can tick a couple of these off

Me too!!

I didn't understand the 'Trying to countersteer a shaft driven bike.'

They still have to be countersteered to turn above 20 mph!!!!!!!!!!

Didnt read all ... too many .. the ones i did read were good though

Some quite funny ones there, but this I didn't get:

7. Not putting a board under the kickstand on asphalt on a hot day.

I mean, I know you'd need to put board down or a puck on grass, but why on hot tarmac?

The tarmac melts, and your sidestands goes through it.....

I think thats why your a rookie, rookie ;)

Get a bike over 200Kg on hot tarmac and the words knife through butter spring to mind. Not good to watch

Ill bare the rest in mind

Over 200? Mine does it, and its only about 160kg, and my cousins brand new GSXR600 K5 did it.....

On road tarmac its usually ok, put it on pavement tarmac and it'll dig a hole. There are loads outside my garage.

63. Pulling off both fork caps while the bike is on its centerstand

Yes i have released both top and bottom fork clamps and yes the forks fell out. [/url]

You got to remember that this is a american website, and obvoulsy its hotter over there. So a much more common thing I guess.

not to mention, judging by alot of the reasons in that long list, that alot of them are mildly retarded.

Backing bike off paving slabs onto path, there's a gap where slabs end before path starts, bike stops on kerb. I put feet down onto thin air (yes i'm a short ass) bike leans over just past balance point before feet touch floor and leans on hubby's bike. Bike is now leaning on my foot and other bike, which is starting to lean over. Cue much shouting and horn bibbing to get neighbours attention. He's playing his guitar and casually looks out window to see what fuss is about and does comedy double take, then rushes out to my aid Thankgod no damage done to either bikes

Not putting your foot down when stopping

Anyone who does that should stick to a car
