Speaking of mistakes, a few years ago, I had completed a restoration of a CB175. I took the bike for its maiden voyage, a 24 mile blast around a beautify countryside. The bike performed like a champ. I took the requisite scenic pictures, parked the bike in the garage, and with an absent mind, left the key on, melting a NOS ignition coil that I had just purchased.
Now I'm under pressure to never repeat that mistake, to avoid the Spokes' "Idiot Rule".
