most embarrassing moment
 
Thought you guy`s might get a kick out of this.Three years ago at bike week(daytona)I pulled a real boner.We were staying in the Ocala area so we had a long ride back to the house if you know what I mean.We (wife and I )had a more than enjoyable afternoon at pub 44.On the way back( buzz-on) I was on the heritage and my wife was in tow with the suburban.Anyway,I needed to take a left turn off Ithink it was rt.4.Just no. of Leesburg.Anyway,I swayed my way into the left turn lane but unfortunately this turn lane was not the one I actually needed to be in.The signal light moved to the next intersection when I wasn`t looking.The problem is that the turn lanes are framed in with concrete curbing and pretty vegetation people call flowers.Well,at least the curbs were the 45 degree type.Air born I go for a ways and when I came down mulch and tulip tops went flying everywhere.Being the suave rider that I am I continued on to my turn and cruise to the driveway where we were staying.I get off the bike to see my wife laughing her ass off,and this happened ten minutes ago.!At least no-one got killed and the bike had received no after effects.I wish I could have seen it myself because I`m sure it must have been hilarious.I don`t do wheelies but I can`t say I don`t do jumps.I think they say "shit happens".Catch you later,Toby:eek:

Damn curbs, I've 'jumped' a few in my days also. Good story with a good ending luckily.
