Oh, this poor guy

We all make mistakes in judgement now and again. What are some dumb scooter blunders you have made. I'll go first

My pant leg got caught on the center stand and as I tried to put my left foot down it pull the scoot down, I twisted the throttle and I did a 180 right into my sons truck and cracked the front plastic. I was so glad no one was there to see that.

Hi
Couldnt agree with you more
I'll go second
I was reving my Puma on the center stand with out holding the brakes when she shot about 20 feet down the road and then slid on her side
We all do make errors in judgement at times
Take care and ride safely dear friend

Hahahaha. I am laughing with you, not at you.

That must have been scary watching your little scoot shoot off like that. Hopefully, it didn't do too much damage.

Hi
Laugh away my friend, im glad that episode has some positive outcomes and could put a smile on your face
I posted the photos at the old scoot dawg in a thread i started when it happened over 2 years ago about feeling like an idiot
She only got a few scratches hardly of any notice, my wounded ego on the other hand took the full brunt of it
But we are only human are we not?
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

Hope he wound up ok. Watched it a few times and cannot figure out what caused it...all I saw was a light brush with a pole..at prolly 2mph or so. He must have been a newbie scoot rider doing a commercial or something?.. Cause I know 99% of us would have fared much better.

His plastic saddlebag hit the concrete poll. You can see how it breaks off just before he goes over.
