Went to fill the scooter up with fuel on Monday. Would normally leave it another day, or two. But going past a garage on the way to the hospital. So thought why not. Trying to squeeze 4 litres in, I wasn't really watching the tank. Filled it right till the top of the filler neck. Wouldn't really be a problem. But I'm using premix!

I was going to keep this one to myself because it's so embarrassing, but here we go.
Went to simply change the oil on my gf's car the other day (keep in mind I'm currently rebuilding a 2 stroke engine from the ground up and will be adjusting port timings and all that jazz, so this is within my wheelhouse). She's drives a Toyota and I've changed the oil on it once or twice before and on many other cars many times. Drained the "oil" and noticed the plug was different than most cars, but thought it must just be because it's a little Toyota Yaris which is strange on its own.
Long story short, I drained all the "oil" and refilled it, then noticed it was overly full, so I drained some of the fresh oil out, but the oil level would not fall! I finally realized that her tiny 4 cylinder is sideways compared to most motors mounted in an engine bay and that she just got a TRANSMISSION flush lmao!
EDIT: To clarify, I didn't add any fluids into places they are not supposed to go. Just overfilled the oil and drained the trans fluid. No engines were harmed in the making of this stupidity.

Let one of my buddies take scoot for a spin. He was puttering around in the back yard and hit the front brake on damp grass and went down hard. Turns out he injured his deltoid. Well, I went back a couple days later to ride big circles in his back yard, kept going faster and faster until the scoot fell out from under me. I showed him how to wreck... twice!

I sometimes think the daftest thing's I do of late is have an idea and put it into practice and start dismantling the damn things. My friend once said if you have an idea that's great but if you have a really good idea discuss it first with me or someone. I once heard someone say hand your self will over to that chair, then it's not in the hands of an idiot. 😊
