Re: Dropped your bike?
Dropped it a couple of times whilst manouvering 
, bent the brake lever, cracked the bikini fairing a bit (can't notice it too much), and a few scuffs on the engine casing, try to avoid dropping her now if I can help it, but I reckon practice makes perfect

High side x 1
low side x1
Jumped over 50cc moped x 1
They all hurt and put a big dent in the wallet

Yes fallen off loads yes it usually hurt, only dropped a bike once, and only then because I am a 14 stone weakling.

I havent dropped my bike yet but i have dropped DynaMight's before he even had a chance to ride it 
I was reversing back and my foot slipped, i lost balance so all i could was to place it down i was pretty luckly as i only put a tiny scratch on it... Otherwise i think he would have killed me

Ooooooooo time to roll the list off...
125
1. Binned it when I brought it, driving out of the owners driveway, into the neighbours fence across the road pmsl
2. Binned it giving too much throttle away from a junction, wheelied and came off the back, with me holding the bike in mid-air as I landed on me knee's
3. Clipped the kerb going round a roundabout, spun me round on the bike, bike dragged me over 20 metres up the road, nice scar on my left knee for that one.
4. Two weeks later after fixing the poor bleady thing, a car decided to pull out on me when filtering, the words "Oh s.hit not again" came to mind... Took me 2 yrs though the legal system to get him to admit to any of it, in the end went 50/50
5. Was stationary, car hit me up the ass at 30mph, shot the bike up the road in front of me, I landed on his bonnet, nice dent
GSXR400
1. Currently going though the legals for this one, car didnt indicate, so went to overtake, then 5 seconds later when I was allmost along side him he decided to turn into a side road without warning or looking, did a front stoppie, went splat on the road in front of the bike
GS500e
1. Dropped it/low side when breaking comming upto a roundabout, was only doing 25mph ffs, soon as I touched the brakes, it went... turns out EBC Double HH pads and 2-pot calipers don't mix, as it makes them "bite" without warning!
TL1000R
1. Did a FAT front stoppie to crowd please at the Cheltenham Car meet Haloween show... All went pucka till something cased the bike to lean to one side, put the bike down, but couldn't hold it, dropped the bike on myself, both me and the bike got off scot free (But looked a tit lol), did a fat burnout afterwards to finish it off to redeem myself

Re: Dropped your bike?
when I was 17 I was going down the white lines and the cars where bumper to bumper.
there was a set of traffic lights in front on green.
I was doing around 40 and a mark 3 escort XR3i pulled out from a side road and turned so it was facing me there was no way I could stop in time so I opened the throttle up and I hit it head on and went over the top.
I had a broken collar bone, a broken ankle and a totaled bike
and my bike boots turned up the nexted day just to rub salt on my wounds
