O hazuka shii desuga…

Does it mean something like " are you afraid " what I mean by this is like is someone competing with another.

Also, does one really use "O" in this statement?

Thanks

The shame is on the speaker's side in お恥ずかしいですが "O-hazukashii desu ga", thus, it means "I'm ashamed, but~". Do you mean 恥ずかしいですか？ "Hazukashii desu ka?" Are you ashamed?, by any chance?

Wow! Now that really makes a big difference. Thank you very much.

The statement was with O-hazukashii desu ga.

I had to change my reply after your help here. Thanks again.

Or,
"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but..."

Hey thanks.
By the way, it looks like you might be into motorcycles?
