oh, dropped, not crashed/totaled. I've totaled 3 bikes.

foot slipped when learning to ride my first bike. after my ankles were messed up I dropped a bike loading it onto the lift at work, didn't matter because it was fur covered and pretty much screwed up but I was replacing all the messed up parts on the bike already and I didn't damage anything that wasn't already damaged. still didn't feel good about it though.

Buddy of mine dropped it, then I have dropped it twice to far.

All I can say is that my Woodcraft frame sliders saved me on damage every time and that you can just turn the bar ends around so the scratches aren't visible.

I've never dropped any of my bikes.

3 crashes and probably 12 drops over the last 7 yrs.

This guy in my class got a job as a porter at an HD dealership. 20 minutes into his first day he was pushing a bike around, it was so heavy that he actually broke his shoulder socket pushing on it, and then of course dropped it

Ouch.

I never dropped the used $600 Honda Rebel that was my first bike. When I bought my nice new VFR I promptly dropped it one week later...

dropped in mud once, no damage.

knocked over by someone's freakin' little rug rat, busted clutch lever, front turn signal, bar end weight, and shifter.

1 crash, 2 drops, only been riding for about 2 seasons.
hopefully it's all out of my system now.
