How stupid was this?

So getting ready for the weekend ride, I changed the air filter. No big deal, right? Well when I started it this morning to load up, a check engine light came on and the darn thing was coughing and sputtering and would not run. What the hell? :confused: Then it dawned on me........ took the filter back out and lo and behold, the rag I stuck in the intake to keep dirt out was still in there.:eek:

Yea it runs better when the intake isn't blocked.:rolleyes:

Sigh.........yup, with age comes senility!:(

It happens to the best of us, one of my best was refilling oil without putting the drain bolt back in. I quickly panicked when I saw all the fresh synthetic oil pouring out the bottom and put the bolt back in hand tight. While out on a ride smelled some oil and decided to check the drain bolt and it was half way out.... Never tightened it back up!

At least you got it all sorted out and running right!
 
Haha.. definetly would have been embarrasing if you took it in!

During the AVE Pure250 I broke a ball joint causing the wheel to break off, blew a cv, ripped apart the driveline, and destroyed the tie rod. Got everything put back together fast with spare parts out on the course, only to find out 30 miles later we didn't tighten the lugs..... der...
 
sometimes I point my trucks key fob at the front door of my work office and push the door unlock button.......not kidding
 
Don't feel bad Slacker got a new bluetooth for his phone.
