I have soooooooo been there. During the AMA races at Sears Point, I was
staying at the ranch that Triumph rented near the raceway. I pulled into
the driveway and my rookie-ness shined through. The driveway is gravel. I
musta been doing about 1/2 mph. I turned the bars left, the bike moved
straight, my left foot washed out, the perfect bike fell over. I really
couldn't have set it down any gentler, but the blemishes are there. Damn
near went postal. 

It brings a tear to my eye even now....
