Wow, that's a least favorite? I don't weave, but I use the rear brake and clutch to keep the bike balanced while trying not to put my feet down at lights and stops. I think it's fun, and a bit challenging.

That spring ride after months off the bike when you think your going into a corner to hot, but it's followed by the pleasant high when you lean in a bit harder and you remember to trust the bike

Well, I dont weave so much as I do just turn my handlebars left and right. I like trying to see if I can get my speedometer to read 0 before I have to put my feet down. Like Acalliste said, its a bit of a challenge.

Coming out of turn 11 at Laguna Seca going hot and having the front end do that nasty wiggling, legs off the pegs, butt off the seat routine that precludes a high side but catching it time and trying to keep sane going down the straightaway knowing that the double helix is next on the list........

Easy for me.
that split second when your front goes to full lock and you are slammed onto the black top.

2nd would be clutching up a nice 2nd gear wheelie and forgetting to cover the back brake as you approach the point of no return. LOL

Had to add 1 more. Stopped at a light and hearing the sound of a cager with all four tires locked up and hoping to God it's not in your lane, well it was. I had to run a light at a 4 lane intersection many moons ago, jeez that suxed.
