A couple of years ago I was bringing my motorbike out of winter hibernation. Started her up on the stands, but the exhaust sounded a bit odd, and there was a smell of burning hair. Thinking a good bit of revs would do the trick, I gave the throttle a few good twists, and blew a dead, lightly grilled mouse out of the exhaust. On the plus side, the bike sounded immediately better  :smiley:
