Well that was embarassing

I did it after kicking at one of my wife's cats. She was under foot as I backed out of the garage. Kicked her twice and forgot the stand, it hit the floorboard mounts and stopped.
Did it in the front yard with a CBR600 when I was tanked too. Went to move it in the back to the shed and all I managed to do was dump it over and I went with it.

Hmmm, I had a nice experience too... No harm but quite humiliating...
I changed my brake pads on my CBR600. I was on a track day weekend and wanted to step up to a faster category...
Had to go see the organisers and well... I managed to forget to pump my brakes and kind of stopped against the table of the organisers...
But **** happens...
And yes I think we've all been there

oops - know the feeling - dropped mine while "trying to look cool" parking the scoot.
Dumped the bike; my honey just sort of "stepped off" the back; she looked at me while I'm climbing out from under the bike and said "whatcha doin under there?"
The Street Glide is a little heavier to lift - good thing I watched the "Ride like Pro" Video - it wasn't that bad to get it back up.
A couple of scratches on the bike; bruised pride for me . . . wasn't the first time; won't be the last.

Spilled my street bob in a parking lot backing it into a spot, It stalled and I just picked it up put the kick stand down and went in to eat all embarassed. When I came out and tried to start it she backfired REAL loud and there was a girl maybe 8 years old walking behind me she screamed like someone shot her and went running back towards the door haha couldnt help but laugh

I did that on my dads FXR back in the day!! I went to see a friend at her work and luckily they weren't busy and I don't think anybody saw. As I was planning on setting it on the stand it wasn't stopping. Luckily I was 17 and had the fear of my dad killing me and I saved it from touching the ground. The highway peg got an inch from the ground.

Been there the day I bought my first bike, in the parking lot of the dealer. Went to set her down, kick stand wasn't down, went past the tipping point and I fought to push her back up... all the way onto the other side... Scuffed up the stock exhaust about an inch, and the hand brake. I wasn't a new rider either, and had NEVER set another bike down.
I did see a guy at a honda powersports while I was looking at quads drive off on some street bike and do some major damage right after he signed the final paperwork. That was pretty entertaining.
