This one guy I know dropped his twice on the same day, once was making a slow tight U on a slick road and later that day I was backing out of my parking space at the hotel.

Been there done that.
Mine was at a dealer during a Disabled Veterans Poker Run in front of about 200 Harley Boys. Pulled up to stop and just forgot got a little front brake and she just got heavy. Looked up and there was about 10 bikers running over to help, I was so embarrased I flagged them off, leaned down and while standing the bike up I told her she better get her *** up off the ground. You know what when I said that to her she sort of got lighter LOL

I can honestly say that I whole heartedly agree now. Lesson learned, It probably won't happen again.
