Ok, I did it.
OK a couple of firsts on Saturday.
1. My sweeting and I went to Tucson and back on FireHawk.
Half way (there abouts) at Picacho peak.

And I dropped the bike at a hospital parking lot. I was trying for a parking space with my sweetie still on. Fell over on the right side. No one hurt, FireHawk scratched up a little bit.
Bent my brake lever. I managed to bend it back some. I can live with it until I get the money up for flamed control levers.

Scratched the crash bar. Slight scratch on floor board and edge of lower.

Scratched rear crash guard.

Discovered that I need to move the tour pak back a bit. (I was riding more forward on the saddle. My butt is sore today
) I ordered a tourpak relocater today and pikced up highway bars so I can stretch out some.
All in all not too bad for the weekend. Its over with, I dropped it.

RE: Ok, I did it.
Yup, I'm not upset that I dropped it. When she started over I was on a slight angle in the lot. Knew real quick that I wasn't gonna hold it with my sweetie on board. I bailed before I could get trapped under the bike and my sweetie pulled her leg up and rode the bike down and skuffed her right glove. I was amazed how easy FireHawk was to pick up. We rolled her up off of the crash bars and she stood right up. (its easier with two people pushing)
I think I got off very lightly.

Glad you and your lady are OK. Poop happens to all of us sooner or later. Better in a parking lot at a near stand still than on the freeway with cars behind you. Again, glad both of you are ok. Scratches are a badge of courage
