Any embarrassing motorcycle moments?

Sorry smittie, i was laughing at you as i read that. My worst was when I was in my garage, i had all of the fairings off, tried putting it on the rearstand on my own (something i have done many times before and since this incident) and the stand wasn't lined up right. I ended up trying to hold my bike with 1 arm with bending over lining up the rear stand. Bike got over too far and I didn't have a great enough grip to stop it completely. Luckily it was a slow fall, but still hurt my pride more than the bike.
