Shining Moments In Awesomeness
K, here's a question for all of us Kings and Queens of being Completely Awesome. What.. my friends, is the single most embarassing moment you ever suffered through on, around or in some way due to your bike? Don't be shy, we won't laugh in your face, maybe behind your back a little but deff. not to your face. 
C'mon, we all got stories, whats your's? here's mine.
Mine was about a year after I started riding. Was my second bike, the immensely kickass gsx750f, also known as, yes, a Katana, a crap bike but hey, I was new, what did I know? Lol. So here I am, Joe Cool cruising down highway 65 in Fridley,MN on my Katana of coolness.. Coming up to a red light on a busy fourway stop I'm revving my engine a little and feeling like a king of awesome. Right up to the point where I pulled up next to a carload of chicks (cool right?), came to a stop, and sloooowly, without much warning or buildup, tipped over and crashed to the ground. I smacked my helmet into their car no less, feh. Now you might be wondering, Hang, my dear boy, why didn't you put your foot down when you came to a stop? This my friends, is the day I learned to tuck my damned shoelaces into my damned boots when I damned ride. Worst part of the whole ordeal was I was then actually TRAPPED under ther bike cause my laces were still stuck to the peg and Katanas are freaking HEAVY. Imagine trying to extricate yourself from this situation surrounded by cars of laughing onlookers in a way that would save yourself the slightest shred of dignity. I sure didn't find one. Lol.
A friend of mine has a story involving him, his girlfriend, his bike, a banana and his parents unexpected visit. But thats his story to tell. Whats yours?

Well, this one was great cuz I was so young (1st grade?). Long but worth it, trust me:
My parents had friends over at our house one day. My brother (John) 1 1/2 years older, a friend (Craig, who is my Godparents' son) and I always played games using our imaginations when we were kids and hung out. For instance, we'd bang on the pipes of the water heater in each other's basement with screwdrivers and pretend we were plumbers for hours!!!
Anyway, this time we were all in the seclusion of my parent's basement pretending to be mafia members. My younger sister had this roll-away kitchen thing made of plastic. This served as our "front desk." So Craig came up with an idea:my brother would be the guy working in the office, Craig would be waiting at the "front desk" and I'd be watching the "front door" (which was just the opening of the basement once you reached the bottom of the stairs). So then the plan was that a rival gang was coming in to start trouble and he'd let us know of when the "attack" was going to happen.
This is where it happens:
So, Craig says "action" more or less. I pretend to let the "rival gang" into the office. He then just SCREAMS the highest-pitched little girl scream I've heard to this day. I immediately lost it and started laughing!!!!! I was laughing HARD! Sooo hard I pooed my pants!! Instantly I ran to the bathroom in the basement while simultaneously laughing!! It felt like more poo was coming out with each laugh!! Oh my god. When I closed the bathroom door the seriousness of the matter sunk in.
So, I'm standing there in front of the toilet with my pants down thinkin on how the hell I'm going to make it up to the main level (where all the parent are!!) and then up the next flight of stairs to my bedroom to change out of these soiled spider-man tighty-whities without ANY suspicion!! I couldn't walk normal...I was grossed out. I couldn't walk by another person...I stunk like poo! I was stuck! "But wait," I thought to myself as a genius plan came to mind, "I'll flush the underwear down the toilet!!" So I proceeded to flush said underwear. Problem solved, right? NO!
So the toilet gets friggin clogged. I kinda freaked out a little bit at this point because there was no plunger in this bathroom!! So my next plan was to run upstairs to the main level bathroom, grab that plunger and make it back down without nobody noticing!! I didn't hear John or Craig outside so I thought I was alone in the basement. I opened the door and both were right there giving me a weird look. Then they smelled the smell and my brother must have saw terror in my face cuz he looked in the bathroom at the calamity in the toilet and said "What'd you do??!!? I'm going to get Dad!!" Well, then I knew it was all over. My dad came down with the plunger and in front of several witnesses pulled out my once white spidy underwear and asked me "What is wrong with you?"
The greatest thing is how embarrassing it was at the time and how hard I laugh now thinking of how much of a dumbass I was and got myself into that situation!!!! Couldn't have gone much worse...
NEXT!!

LOL, I've almost done the shoe lace thing, I had mine caught and luckily the stop sign was in a remote area and no traffic coming, it gave me a chance to coast and fiddle with it to get loose.......Mine get tucked in now too...
I dont have any real embarassing stories. Worst one I guess was when I was doing a little demonstration ride for my inlaws on my sons TTR 90 dirt bike. The grass was wet and I went to turn around, it slid on the grass and my a$$ hit the ground so hard and fast that I couldnt hardly walk for a few days......They must have thought I was a real idiot....lol

that first story is pro. lol.
I have a non bike related one.
I was in 2nd grade and my teacher was a real biatch. It was really hot that week at school(no a/c) so we were all allowed to have water bottles on our desk. Well I needed to use the bathroom pretty bad, but the teacher wouldnt let me go. I ended up pissing my pants all over the floor. Being the slick cat that I am I claimed I spilled my water bottle. I saved the embarrassment of all my classmates laughing at me, but I had to get paper towels from the bathroom and clean it up myself and wear clothes that reeked of pee the rest of the day. Im going to tell my kid that he has to go to the bathroom at school to just go, even if the teacher tells him no

I havent had anything too bad while on the bike, probably the most embarrasing thing while on the bike was last summer. I was hanging out by the beach cruising around and such and had stopped at a pizza place across from the boardwalk for some food. I was sitting outside near where my bike was parked and ended up talking to a cute chick after she noticed my helmet, well i went to go leave started it up go to take off and clunk... i stalled it, and worse it took a couple of tries to get it to turn over haha. Its wasnt that bad but sucked at the time.

When I got my first Sportbike it was the end of my senior year of highschool.. I decided to go to this car cruise that they had at my old highschool during the summer.. I pulled up and I was the only one there with a sportbike.. Oh man I felt badass when All the young girls turned their attention to me.. So I pull into a parking space and take off my gloves and helmet...The next step is what got me..So I forgot to put down the kickstand.. How this happened I do not know. I think I was too caught up looking like a badass(or so i thought) So i got to step off the bike and the bike falls, right on the back of my leg.. It pretty much gave me a weak knee and down I went.. It sounded alot worse because my hand slapped pretty hard.. But I felt like an *** nontheless.
