Just remembered another one, this one's more in line with the "Advice From The Ladies" post on the General Motorcycles forum here.

I was 17-18, did a slow drive-by on a drive-in restaurant on the Sportster. I spotted a car full of [ladies' man voice] LADIES [/ladies' man] and IN A CONVERTIBLE!!! and there's a parking space beside them. So I circle around to pull in beside of them, and since I'd mostly ridden on dirt the only way I was sure I could make the turn as tight as the parking spaces were was to stand on the pegs and counterweight. Forgot the clutch control and just as I was pulling in the big twin coughed and stopped. Splat. Ladies point and giggle. I got it back on the tires, backed out and drove off without lifting my visor. Gee, I feel like such a dork just typing this, but it happened. I'm so glad it was a long, long time ago.
