We've all done it or will do it. However, that is not the reason for backing into a parking space. You only back into a parking space if it will help you avoid having to back the bike up trying to go "uphill" from the parking space.

It happened to me the first time I rode my bike. Fortunately it was on grass, and nothing happened to me or the bike. And it was kind of a controlled drop. Haven't dropped it since, but hey, it happens. Just get back riding and be more careful in the future.....

Yeah don't feel bad. Me and my wife were riding one day, she tells me that she is going to get sick. I pull over before i can get my feet down she's bailing off and here we went. The bad part is it was a parking lot full of people and she DID NOT even get sick after all that! Hop on, hammer down.

I'm 6'4" and I've dropped mine too. Stupidest one was stopped at a traffic light and put my foot in the oil patch left by the cagers. At first nothing happened, then by the time I realize my foot is slipping it's too late and down I went!
I also watched a Newbe on a BMW pull up to a light next to me and he simply forgot to put his foot down
It happens.
