John,
  You are not alone. This will be an endless thread. Don't get me started. How about the time when I had just finished a full engine rebuild and had the engine sitting on the workbench. I kicked it over with a rag in the intake and the rag vanished into the engine. I completely tore it down and split the cases to retrieve the rag, but it wasn't there...it was sitting on the floor 10' behind me. The rag got spit out instead of sucked in. Oops. Cam.

John:
Now, that makes me feel really good!

I probably would could have done the same...

When I was 15 I tweaked the cam timing on my "new" CB125. I read somewhere that you could do this (didn't read the part that you don't have to on a 125:er with 16bhp). I filed up the cam sprockets to the extent that the sprockets could almost rotate on the cams. End result; two valves broken and one of the valves were firmly set in the piston. I still have the piston (with the valve halfway through).

Once upon a time I worked at a small airport and my buddy Garry was doing a 100 hour inspection on a Cessna Turbo 206 he had a red rag stuffed in the turbo to keep the dirt out and we went to lunch! Guess who left the rag stuffed in the turbo! When the waste gate opened on the run up there was real not so funny noise!

Everyone has been a Dumb A## at one time or the other! :oops:


Alan :lol:

John:
Please keep 'em comming. I really don't think we are stupid - we're just very focused on the wrong things.

I think I kicked my bike 200 times after changing the plug and forgot to snap the plug wire back on the plug! :oops:

I did the same thing, only I did it while the guy who was interested in buying my bike was standing there watching. I didn't figure it out until he had gone. No, he hasn't come back. Guess I'll just have to keep it.
