Re: Most common riding mistake?
my mistakes 1, slowed to much in a u-turn, to left, (crashed) 2nd, stop sign, wasn't intending to stop But, got to slow(blind intersection) trying to see if something was comming, (crashed). i was going to turn right. both time it fell on left side.
so, i guess my vote was throttle related.

My lovely wife was too kind to mention it, but I did this yesterday. As I happened to be leading, I'm sure she had to back off throttle in a hurry to avoid running up my butt.ceemes wrote:Misshifting and finding a false neutral......

I am starting not press the "turn signal cancel button" hard enough to turn off my turn signals. DOH. I have to remember to check my turn signal light more so I notice it.
