...are slippery - note to self: do not come to a stop on one and then try to move off! It resulted in me slamming my foot down in a panic and looking like a tool.

I did something stupid going through passport control in Calais on Saturday, had my passport ready in my right hand, pulled off as the queue moved forward but couldnt stop as id got real bad cramp in my hand from holding brake and passport for so long, scared the crap out of me as it revved the engine really high as i managed to squeeze the brake, felt a plonka

Oh, if we're on stupid, while overtaking a campervan on Sunday I meant to change up to third but brain went into fuzz mode (I blame whoever it was on here talking about racing boxes being the other way up) and I stomped it into first instead. Cue brief horrible over-rev, clutch, deep breath, methodically click up twice, clutch out and proceed. Doh!!

Another stupid thing - putting you gloves on the tank when it's gale force 5 and having them blow across the car-park and under a car

The driver thought I was a copper due to my high-vis - ha!
