Oh, this poor guy

I was installing some led light strips on my scooter.
The led light circuit was connected to 12V AC instead of DC, and I just thought the LEDS wheren't bright enough, so I tried revving the engine (hoping to increase the voltage on the LEDS).
Surely they got brighter, but also the bike, being a CVT, ran out on me.
Stupid me trying to stop the 300+LBS beast (250+cc's), bent one of my toes backwards as I put too much pressure on it, to stop the bike (was in my flip-flops); was blue for 1 week!
Lucky the bike did not go very far, as the front wheel hit the wall in front of it (about 6ft).

That's two run away scooters...and one 180 into a truck.
