I dropped my last bike (hornet) outside my house after slipping on a drain cover - doh! luckily there was minimal damage.

The real damage happened when I dropped it at South end sea on a ride out, after miss judging a kerb! Doh

I think I've learned my lessons now.

I didn't drop it it fell over honest. Had a mate call round to go for a run on a cold winter day, so after a coffee we went outside he started his bike before he put his helmet gloves etc on and said "just as well warm her up"
Me thinking he knows best starts mine up and then start to do my jacket up and put helmet on. Then see my bike just inch foward and fall away from me so I grab for the handlebars and the bloody great thing takes me down on top of it my ex mate is wetting himself I'm shouting give us a f****g hand then. It took both of us to pick the thing up only damage was a bent footrest. Moral of the the story if your bike is a V-twin use a centre stand because the ba****ds don't half vibrate
