    Mine was just a boo-boo

    Not even the achohol factor involved.
    Did not realize there was NOT a chain gaurd on a 185-S I had just got going. Was in 1st. gear rounding the house at a putt and reached down to shove the choke lever down while turning a wee bit and WHAM, dam I got bit !
    Never really did "loose" the finger tips, they just stay bottled up in the garage.
    I knew that rum the ex left behind would come in handy some day

    yep, 17 years ago I got seprerated, 19 years ago I got released from "her".

    you ripped your finger tip off and you put it back together by wrapping it?

    I did something similar, but not quite as stupid. No running engine or lasting damage though.

    I had the cruiser on a stand, in neutral with the engine off. Was cleaning the chain by spinning the back tire, and like the others, rag got caught caught in the chain and my thumb nail stopped the wheel.

    Lost a chunk of the nail and hurt like hell for a few months.

    Learned my lesson very quick!
