Dumbest thing on a Busa?

Ducked out on leo not being familure with the area. Pulled in a driveway behind a goose neck camper. Cop blasted past no less than 10 feet from me, just didn,t look to the left. then I look up and the home owner came out his garage with pistol by his side wanting to know who I was and why I was running from the police. I procedded to tell him he never blue lighted me, I just new he was getting ready to, for speeding, so I made a few quick turns, and ended up in his driveway. come to find out he goes to work on monday, and tells a guy he works with about the ordeal, Bobby, which lives two houses from me and he rides the 04 le red. lol
Guess it is a small world after all!
 
i rode the lower loop road through the everglades in florida.
over 3 hours of standing on the pegs dodgeing boulders in wallowed out gator holes, riding around snakes and being bombarded by an invasion of jumping frogs, that kept bouncing off me and my bike as i made my way through the dark. on a road that is better called a gator trail. i was never happier when i hit pavement again.
i should have listened to the tribal cop that told me "i don't think that machine will make it down that road. i wouldn't try if i were you. and don't stop, the locals back there are not very friendly!"
:banghead: i shoulda listened!
 
fat chick that destoryed my undertail... o rthe skinny one that I had to ditch because she just wouldn't shut up during a 6 hour ride... lost that helmet but got my sanity back...
 
Wheelie that went bad in a parking lot. High sided as I hit the curb and landed in the grass.
Cost me another exhaust and a fairing. Bout $1200 in repairs. :banghead:
Just could not chop the throttle or hit the brake due to G's. My neighbors love me!

LMAO!! Yeah man I'm glad you kept it vertical! Sorry I fell off the face of the earth, I got busy than my busa registration lapsed and I didn't ride for a while. All is back to normal and I took my first ride last week though, it was great! We need to get out before the weather gets cold. How ya been?
 
Blasted past a ZO6 at 160 (he had just passed my wife in her Mustang GT) on my way to 185 MPH on a small 2 lane road. Or actually nodded off on my GSXR 750 after driving 400 miles to visit my now wife. I woke up on the yellow line still doing 80 with my head on my fist which was resting on my tank...not a nice way to wake up!!!! :banghead: So take your pick!!!

You win. :)

For me, too much to list. 200,000 miles of riding and travel and you could make a list of shame & dumbass moments that's better left swept under the rug.
 
Im USED to be throttle damn near to the stop door to door point a to b and this day was no different... had a ball got flipped off by law enforcement (priceless) greaat day of ridin hit the gas station twice to fill up...just frivolous fun for no reason... at the time i kept the Busa in a garage at work because i lived in an apartment complex where bikes and car rims disappear with grerat frequency and never to be seen again. So i pull in the garage get down to my truck and at literally 1 mile an hour im IN the space and the front slides out on some oil. I dont know if its dumb but it felt dumb. LOL all i could do was lie there and laugh for a sec.
 
Not on a Busa, but.... Riding one nice fall day on my Harley, blasting through the woods. Great day, coming back into my neighborhood, looking forward to a beer. Kinda wanted to "make an entrance" into my driveway with a spurt of gas, hit some dried tree leaves collected at the corner of the drive, lost the front wheel and dumped it. Front fender and fairing scraped bad, ego hurt worse. Much more cautious since.
 
Not my busa but on my '98 ZX-11 was making a u-turn into a parking space in front of a public park on a sunny sunday afternoon. in front of a large crowd of people my front tire slipped on a tiny pine cone, the front end slipped out quicker than you could say $hit! and my bike was on the ground with my hand still on the throttle holding it wide open and the rev limiter kicked in and the bike shut off. After I got up and stood the bike up I looked everywhere for a puddle of oil, there had to be an oil slick somewhere? Then I found the tiny pine cone with fresh road rash on one side. It was loud, painful, and costly, plus i was embarrassed. Now I watch for everything on the road, especially when making turns, from small pebbles to dead animals, if you hit them right you can go down.
 
Rode to work...Saw a butterfly....forgot to put the kickstand down... just fell over and laid there for a bit.
 
passed a couple of harleys(that cut me off) on the inside of the white line(you know the 1 foot stripe between the pavement and the grass) at 140ish mph.

my brother said he saw dust flying.

this isnt the actual road just a pic to show my stupidity.(not at the time but reflecting back)

Got ran off the road by a tractor trailer. Locked both brakes when I hit the grass and gravel to avoid going over the edge and into a canyon. Very fortunate
the bike stayed straight up and came to a complete stop. I was surprised and relieved at my great fortune of not wiping out when I put my foot down to dismount and
loss footing in the loose gravel. Down goes the bike and me. I picked it up only to see a full array of scratches and gouges in the left side
cowling and rear end courtesy of the loose gravel:banghead:
