Gotta laugh- dropped my bike at a standstill!
Now this was embarrassing today.
Picture this. I throw my leg over trusty steed parked on footpath out side bike shop - it had a full service. Just as I'm about to move across footpath towards the gutter to enter the flow of traffic, a rather beautiful young Lass is approaching towards me and one of us has to give way to the other.
Now me being the gentleman. Nothing whatsoever to do with admiring her...uh ..form, politely stops and says "you go" She giggles and says "no you go" [this had potential for a KFC add, Yugo said you go and ...] Anyway, Sucker me smiles and moves 2 feet towards gutter, slow to put my left foot down so I can look over my shoulder and slip into the slow moving cars. @#$% left jean bottom catches on footpeg. One second later as I realise my doom the bike has passed the point of no return. 
So me and not so trusty steed anymore, end up lying on footpath. It's then I realise the numerous onlookers. The long line of near stationary cars and lets not forget the motorcyclists about to watch my skilled take off. And then the tasty Chick. So she's still giggling and says "would a lolly help?"
Trying to salvage a fraction of dignity, I quickly pick up bike and look around for my shattered pride..not a trace of it? I figure, fire up and clear off before any body notices. But tasty Chick spots my indicator lens on the ground and hands it too me. 
Uh, more embarrassing delays, gotta get out of here. Oh shit, now the other Riders are approaching. Where's that black hole to hide in when you want one?
Luckily my foot saved the bike. Only the indicator touched down. A spot of supa glue and it's lens cover is back on. Have to replace it though. Can't have the scratches reminding me of today's cock up .
Oh, I had a loaner of a brand new Tiger and went for a fair wander on it. Damn fine machine! Way, way better than I expected.
The world would be a safer place if every woman looked like Helen Clarke.
