Bought my 1st bike when I was 15 and I turned 16 that August and did the test and got my bike drivers license on my birthday.
1st week of September and the summer holidays are over. I'm back at High school and one of the coolest guys cause I ride a motorcycle to school everyday. The 3rd day back I sleep in and I'm running late, rushing around like a fool trying to makeup time and get out of the house. I Jump on my bike pull out of the garage and going screaming down the driveway......I didn't notice it had rained over night.....never rode on wet roads before......didn't really matter I'm stupid, still half asleep and not paying attention anyways.....got to the end of the driveway tried to turn right......bike went down sliding across the road till both wheels hit the curb, on the other side of the roadway...the bike pitched up and over landing on the sidewalk and threw me on the neighbours front lawn. The Public grade school was just down the street from our house. All the little kids were walking on their way to school.....looking at the not so cool High school kid face down with his helmet in the mud on his neighbours lawn.
Somehow the bike was fine and I wasn't hurt, except my pride! And so it begins...the 1st of many dumb things I have done on a bike.
