Anyone like to share their most embarrassing moment?
One of mine:-
Many years ago when I was in my late teens I was working for a Rootes Group main dealer. The Boss and I used to go to the Chinese restaurant two or three times a week for lunch and I saw a couple of very attractive girls there quite often. One day Boss said those girls over there are "making eyes at you" and I laughed and said I know and he said "well what are you waiting for go and speak to them". I said I didn't like to as I was with him, which was an excuse, but he pressed me to go. I now found myself in an awkward situation as I'm not the most confident person, but I didn't want him to think I was a wimp so out of pride I plucked up courage got up and began to walk over to them. I must have brushed up agains't the coat stand which was overloaded with coats as it was winter time. It came crashing down and worse still it hit the arm of the waiter who was carrying bowls of soup. Even worse still some of the soup landed on the girl's table and dribbled down on to one of them. The restaurant was fairly full at the time. I felt myself going brighter red than the traffic lights outside as everyone was looking to see what had happened. Looking back at it now I do find it a bit amusing but I can imagine a lot of people had a laugh at my expense.

That does seem quite the unfortunate series of events to happen there mike. Bit at least you can look back at it now and have a laugh about it.
I haven't done too much embarrassing except 2 events that happened.
When younger I had a dt125 and it was kick start only. Always used to ride with headphones in also. So one day I had just put my headphones in got on my bike and kick started it, and all was well until this fairly cute girl walked past. So as I did aged 18 watched her walk past and forgot i always left my bike in gear and subconsciously released the clutch. Bike flew out from underneath me and fired itself up onto the pavement and fell over. Felt a right berk!!
The other time is my lovely girlfriend was dared by my lovely best mate thay she had "no minerals" to shout out that she loved me. Fine that I could have handled but we were in Bristol asda at cribs causeway and it was quite busy!! Lets just say she did the dare proud. The buggers lol
