My Chuckle Of The Day
I was gone over the weekend and asked my son to take the hawk out and give it some exercise. He's used to riding the Buell XB9R, which we sold last week.
He called me up after he got back home. "Dad, this superhawk has a lot of power!". Seems he whacked the throttle a bit too hard and brought the front end up.
My first question was "you didn't wreck, did you?".
The second was "have you changed your pants yet?"

I had a 
this weekend...
Took the radiator cap off mid ride- and yes... I knew radiators 101: the system gets pressurized when hot- but for some reason wasn't thinking and got a nice fountain of boiling coolant in the face. Have a nice burn mark on my cheekbone!
In the end it was a nice chuckle. I shouldn't let myself ride when I make decisions like that.

Man, I don't know. But I have this nice "idiot" brand on my face that I have to keep explaining to people 
It's like telling someone that you jumped down a stairwell.
To be fair, I was tinkering with the coolant and needed to relieve the pressure. I didn't just look at it and go "Hey! Look! A cap! I think that I'll take it off... maybe there's a piece of candy underneath"
