Confess your Squidliest move/crash you have ever done!!
I will start.
2005 i had a lovley 2004 GSX-R 750. Went on a road trip with the boys to the mountains, which is their annual trip. The 3rd day we were about 70 kms almost to the ferry in Creston, BC Canada when we came up to a few cars at the start of a twisty 70 km road.
2 of my friends passed without problems. I thought i would be a super hero and over take a car on a left hand bend.
As i did this, the turn suddenly turned into a decreasing left, i panicked and as i just got past the car i suddenly chopped his nose off and rode straight into the ditch. Landing in a stinking wet bog about 2 feet deep. The bike went end over end and apparently i got the finger from the guy i cut off as he went by.
The bike was still rideable tho which was amazing but i only had clip ons left, the cluster was trashed as was the head light and most of the plastics, along with a dent in the frame. So the good side to it all was i managed to finish the trip and didn't get hurt.
That really sticks out as the dumbest thing i have done. I did crash again a few years back on another left on the same kind of turn but i wasn't over taking anything. I'm not an ambi turner i guess.

The night i bought my first bike i was riding it to show my gf and was following a buddy. He overtook a car so i was right behind him then we went into a left curve, and since i was new to leaning i shot off the rd at 60 and slid all the way through the curve in mud and thorns. I jumped up and screamed "IM OK!"
I also used to ride in shorts and flip flops

Successfully outmaneuvered police a few times. Worst was just after I lowered the BigCat I hadnt ridden in a while so I opened it up to abt 140 and notice a cop behind a construction sign so I pinned it and was zig zagging through waaaaaaaay too many cars, but I did get away

A guy was showing off one night leaving sonic and attempted a rolling burnout 2up and dumped his girl off the back with no gear. Squidliest thing I've ever seen in person.

Wow, that sucks man. Get a POLICE radar detector. Has saved me from stuff like that several times.
Mine..... I hoped on my 10r last winter. It was cold and rear tire was getting pretty bald. I was leaving a buddies house and start going down the road, give it some gas, and hit the rear brake a little too hard going around the curve and it lost traction, (I was going about 15 miles an hour at this point) turned sideways, threw me off, i landed on my chin. Thank god i had my helmet or i would probably have broken my jaw. Broke a mirror off and scratched it up a bit, but not too bad. I hit the ground and immediately hoped up and and ran straight to the bike and pick it up. I felt sooooo stupid.
