RE: bagger tip over
Been there, done that. 
There's two type of riders, those who have dropped their ride, and them who haven't,...yet. Oh, and those who don't admit it.
When I dropped mine, it was like slow motion, let it down easy onto the crash bar, no damage done, and my wife was on the back. My adrenlin was so high, I grabbed the bike, and had it up before anybody can get close enough to help. Damage can be repaired, glad you're OK. Now that it's done, don't wory about it anymore.

Hmmmm Let see, started in gear once lunged and almost dropped it and just missed the front end of my friends car leaving his kids bday party.
And just yesterday I was tearing the front end off made sure that the bike was good on the jack and forgot to sure up the rear wheel and when I pull off the front wheel I almost lost her off the jack soooooooo you're not alone!
WeirdI was just thinking how I could never admit to these types of situations on the forum but that is why it is here!

dropped mine also and it was my fault - could happen again tomorrow - being 5'6" and 56 - I have to be "real" alert when parking or moving slow.... lessons learned =
## stay off the front brake
## don't look down
## remember the physics of centrifugal force = drive in turn right and sudden stop = bike keeps going left..
## - brake only when straight brake firm while turned and centrifugal force again will tip ya...
## watch for uneaven ground or holes = 5'6" leaves NO room for error..

With the proper lifting technique, you won't have to have your wife help you lift your bike the next time.....In short, you put your butt against the seat, grab the bike by the bars with one hand and on the rear somewhere with the other. Bend you knees and take baby steps walking backwards till the bike is upright.
