I reckon...
..any biker who tells you they have never dropped a bike is telling you a big fat porky.
I have managed it (with a large audience of course) a good 3 times and am hoping to not do it again when I finally get my grubby mitts on another bike (5 years bikeless is too long).
My first was in the work car park just as a large order came in, so several people watched me pull up on my brand new bike (on my way back from the showroom)and stop, and gently keel over.
The next was failing to manage a u turn.
and finally my best display yet, right outside the front door of my local tesco! I actually just lay on the ground laughing for quite a while at that one.

So don't feel down, as long as you escape injury or major damage it's still been a good day.
