Have you ever?

Have you ever crashed your bike while riding, but almost at a standstill? 

Many years ago I did ...riding to work ...I was wearing the usual bike gear (helmet, jacket and gloves) except for jeans and a pair of Para boots.

I was coming to a stop at the traffic lights, I was almost stopped, i put my foot down and the loop of the boot lace got caught on the sidestand, making it impossible for me to put my foot on the ground, and over I went!   

I did it in front of some people waiting to cross the road, they laughed they found it hilarious, me? Not so much...

Gathered myself up, and the bike too, no damage to either the bike or me....it was the slowest crash I ever had up to then.

Any of you done anything silly like that. ?

I  have several times, especially when I was younger.  As teanagers we all used to hang at Polmear Cafe.  One wet day I had to go, in my dads work gear yellow leggings and donkey jacket.  I had a Suzuki TS185, I jumped up high to kickstart it in true moto crosser fashion, as we all did for no reason back then,  only for my foot to slip off the kickstart and it to shoot up the inside of my nanaman leggings and stop me putting my foot down as I slowing fell over to the right with momentum.  Of course all my mates were watching and cheered.  Bastards.   By the time I got out from under the bike one twat had written 6.0 on two sheets of A4 in Olympic gymnastic style and was holding it up to the window.  Of course the piss was takenmfor weeks after
