Any embarrassing motorcycle moments?

I'll tell Jarvis' for him and hopefully I don't get in trouble...

We had just moved into our current place, stoked to finally have a garage. The garage was filled with mostly empty boxes (some not) from unpacking. Phil went to move the bike outside for whatever reason, I don't remember. He kept the kickstand down and just walked it (standing on the side without the kickstand). However, as he was pushing through piles of boxes, one of them must have hooked the kickstand and put it up, which neither of us realized obviously. So once he had the bike where he wanted it, he set it down and it just fell over, bumping into my Blazer on the way down. His anger and andrenaline gave him the ability to pick it up quite easily.

I was standing in the doorway from the garage to the house the entire time. At this point, he turned around and began screaming at me that it was somehow my fault that I didn't warn him that the kickstand wasn't down. Like I would hide that information from him.
