Ok, I'll start.


Good Idea: Having a power shifter


Bad Idea: forgetting to locktite bolts on the power shifter mounts and having
them vibrate loose during a shake-down run.

Ummmm....

Good idea: Impulse buy a brand new Ducati with cash.

Bad idea: Giving the money to the dealer before you see them actually start the bike, and when they can't get it running, they also can't get the money back out of the safe.

So more of a shake off run than a shake down run then.

Doh! (facepalm) I was in 3rd shifting to 4th when it stopped working. So not too bad with a nice torquey Buell
twin pulling it. could have been far worse....I could have been home riding a couch!

FWIW I believe I left the darn thing loose thinking I'd go back and lock-tite it before i buttoned everything up.
That'll learn me!

I rode the Uly 250 miles with only 4th gear. Stop lights and stop signs were REALLY fun.

Good Idea.....Waiting until the gf goes to be before watching porn

Bad Idea.....thinking the iPad headphone jack was plugged in all the way so I could "secretly" listen to the action.

Along the lines of buellinachinashop

Good Idea: Turning on "Private Browsing"

Bad Idea: Not learning how the screen capture works and accidentally hitting it without ever knowing...
