A couple of months ago I was heading to the cashier at Home Depot with a 5500W generator when I realized that I rode there.... That was a Kodak moment for sure, rode home then drove the truck back to pick the generator up
)Ha - don't you hate that? Or when you're out and about, pass something like a beer store and think... Oh good - I'll just pick up a 2-4 for tonight and... awwwww crap!A couple of months ago I was heading to the cashier at Home Depot with a 5500W generator when I realized that I rode there....

I keep a mesh net over my back seat just for that reason. I've carried pieces of plexy glass, groceries, screens for screen printing. Best $8 I've spent on my bike!
Yeah but won't it will leak out before you get it home?You see in my case that isn't a problem , I have a total 99 liters of storage in my three Givi cases...

It sux when....
-You get to Timmy Ho's:canada: after a ride and realize you only brought your debit card. (Why do they only take cash -sheesh... in this day and age )
-You start riding on a realy warm day and the weather turns to crap.
-cager infront of you thinks it's ok to through his Tim's cup or Rotten Ronnies bag out the window as his driving.
- You have a office with a realy big picture window and have to work on a
25+ degree day so you are stuck watching all of the bikes drive by.

You pass the last gas station for about 10-15 miles and think you will make it on 1 bar... Then 1 minute later it starts blinking...

When you tuck and twist the throttle for a few seconds of high-speed fun and forget to slow down before you sit up
When you're riding up to Palomar Mountain and forget about the Kamikaze grasshoppers of Lake Henshaw and end up riding through swarms of tens of thousands of grasshoppers so thick you can't see through them and you end up with dozens of them stuck in every nook and cranny of your bike as well as in and ON your helmet.
hahahaha.... I remember the tobacco spitting, 5 inch long GH from OH.... seriously... you get in their way, they spit tobacco juice on you... some sort of SD mechanism! And to think, you have them in Cali too!When you're riding up to Palomar Mountain and forget about the Kamikaze grasshoppers of Lake Henshaw and end up riding through swarms of tens of thousands of grasshoppers so thick you can't see through them and you end up with dozens of them stuck in every nook and cranny of your bike as well as in and ON your helmet.
Tobacco spitting?
These grasshoppers are actually small. No more than and inch to and inch and half long. Makes it even worse as then end up in all kinds of spots you're not expecting. Stuck up inside the air ducts, stuck to the brake calipers, behind your windscreen, between your crotch and the gas tank, and every where else you can think of. Including parts of them stuck in the forehead vents of your helmet. That was a pain in the ass to get cleaned out.
The funny thing is when they're hitting your leathers or pants, they actually bounce because it's soft. But when they hit something hard like the bike or your head, they tend to explode!

This thread is great!!!
-You have a wasp fly into your helmet and see it crawling around, then on your face and then start stinging your cheek. All the time trying to pull over when the person riding behind you (dad) does not realize you need to get over NOW and get the damn helmet off!
-You decide to take the bike to work (90 miles away) and at the end of the day have dense fog thinking that it will thin when you hit higher elevations, only to find a near monsoon rain with more than two inches of water on the highway.
-You are looking at scenery and on a corner both you and the other bike coming at you both cross the center line.
-You see how fast you can get going down a hill and up the next only to find and 8 point buck waiting for you on the top.

Grasshopper factsTobacco spitting?
"When a grasshopper is picked up, they "spit" a brown liquid which is known by most kids and adults as "tobacco juice"." :rof:
It sucks when:
The grasshopper spits tobacco right in your face... uck

-You break your first toe next to the big toe on your left foot on Friday. You have the day off on Saterday and it hurts to bad to but your boots on and go for a ride.
-You drive you car to work on a nice morning because the weather man said 100% chance of t-sorms for the ride home and it never rains or even gets cloudy. I have a 40 mile ride each way to work.

It sucks when your bike is just sitting in your garage cause, you have to wait for all the correct paperwork to ride............almost two months now! Not to mention the Auto Tuner waiting to get installed!
