Not exactly the Smartest bike for a total noob... but mine was an '83 Honda CB1100F
I remember pulling out of the owners driveway, popped a wheelie straight across the street (had a weak battery and I didn't want to struggle with starting it after a stall).
Dumb move #2? After 30 minutes chasing my roommate around an empty Walmart parking lot, we went to the bar.
d'oh... I was the ultimate squid, college kid, no gear (shorts and tank tops in the summer), frequented bars, hit 100mph+ the first night I had the bike, had female passengers within the first week (doing a ton)..... gads, I worked HARD to dump all the luck out of my luck bucket as fast as possible. Glad maturity kicked in before death caught me.
