Welcome to the club. We all do it at least once (although some won't admit it). Mine was really stupid. Backing up out of a parking spot (first mistake) and turning hard to get out in one push (second mistake), and then the big one, switched looking over m left shoulder to my right, and I felt the center of gravity shift right.
I manager to hold it from going down, but couldn't get it back upright either. Talk about a rock and a hard place. I finally carefull let it go over and rest on the engine guard.
Pretty damn embarassing, but it's a lesson you only have to learn once (kind of like using the front brake (at all) when under 5mph, or riding with your feet off the boards.
Glad your OK and the bike suffered minimal damage.

Man I feel your pain. I'm also a recent inductee to the "I dropped my bike club"
Was making a slow u turn to the left when the next thing I know I'm looking up at the blue sky. I was on a steep incline and in the process of picking the bike up (didn't have a hold of the front brake. Lesson learned.) I dropped it again. Suffered a few scratches on the bottom of the left hard bag.
Like I was told there are two types of bikers, those that have been down and those that will be down.
Good luck to ya.
