Went to a taco bell and the lady closed the doors before I could get off my bike and said that drive through only. I left...

-When you first started riding and didn't have an E-Pass and had to stop for tolls...

First time and I stalled, forgot I was in first. Had to remove my gloves to dig in my pockets for the change, and dropped all of it when I took my hand out of the pocket. Was embarrassing!

- When on a tight and technical mountain ride and a slight slip on dirt or rocks gets you the shakes and ruins the speed and confidence of the remaining ride

- When riding fast and get hit in the exposed neck by a bee or heavy insect

- When that impacted heavy insect gets pissed off and either walks down your jacket, up your helmet, or just stings you

- When I catch false-neutral when trying to out-pace another bike or pushy cager

Good ol "FINE-C" worked for me a couple times that I had similar problems

Darn cut-off switch will get you every time.

-Taking your glasses off to put your helmet on. They slip off the seat and you step on them (I did it).
-Riding through a cloud of grasshoppers. Gross, still finding them on the bike.
-Finding the only corner on a straight road and it's full of sand.

Yeah that happened to me too several times... I didn't step on them but still it's very annoying. So, now I try every time to put my glasses in my jacket pocket when getting the helmet on or off.

It sucks when you hit the only three pieces of gravel in the middle of the main intersection of a town just before the fourth of July parade is about to start and go down. Then fifty people come out to help pick up your embarrassed ego.

your chain comes off while riding...

Ouch! Are you OK? Last guy I know who had that happen ended up on the ground with $1500 in damage.
