TOPIC:

yesterday i had to put some oil in my bike.
so i went to get some oil at the parts store put some in then went to put some gas.
and put some more oil in and went to work.
as i was going down to get the freway i notice my foot kept slipping off ny peddels as i looked down to see why i see oil all over my shoe and relize i forgot to put the oil cap on:blink:
pull over and call my dad and went to the gas station and fond the cap about 50 feet from there put it back on my bike and made it to work.
did'nt know wether to feel mad, silly, or stopid.
i think all above.
the SQUID...

I did that one time myself except I could'nt find mine like you did.
When I got to work I made a wooden plug untill I could find one on Ebay. That wooden plug lasted a long time for what it was.

Only a SQUID or a Dog Face could make a mistake like that. Us JarHeads know better. And the Airdales well there heads are just in the clods. Hay don't fret Shipmate, it happens to the best of us. This is no worse than not locking your fuel cap and winding up with a crotch full of Gasoline. I've done that more than once.

Actually, a squid would have run it till it was dry, and then complained about it!

Wood is also good.

squid

the gas cap is my personal favorite.....when i get my bike repainted i'm gonna cry when i forget...i've done the oil add cap in a car...takes a tad longer to notice the smoke from the hood......

W, Call me soft-hearted, But, I reserve the term Squid, for those who willingly preform acts of abject stupidity.. You were the victim of a "brain fart". completely different... and wether acknowededged or not, a common failing among motocyclists, (especially ageing ones). 2 Hail Mary's and a chain lube/adjust shall obsolve you of all sin. Yada yada yada, Your' all Catholics now.....Gane

Been their, done that. TWICE!! When bike is fired up, oil comes out like old faithful! Luckily I discovered my f**k up BEFORE riding away!

Yeah, I always associate the term Squid with these guys who you see riding around acting stupid and you just know they will be on their ass sooner or later, or cause someone else to.

I think what you did (and what we all done or will do sooner or later) is just something that could get you a Homer award. Actually I'm really surprised Homer hasn't already shown up in this thread.

I've done the gas tank one this summer while on my lunch break. Had to go back to the office smelling of gas

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHere, this is to help you guys out.

I don't know nuttin about no squid but the dogface reference really ticks me off!
