It happens to all of us at one time or another....some guys actually do it on purpose to change the rear tire!

I've done it 3 times. Twice in my garage thanks to wet boots and once during a slow uturn (on my test ride no less). Aside from a minor scratch on the bottom of the crash bar that I can't see unless I lie down all is well.
Me, I just forgot to put the kickstand down. Stopped the bike in my driveway, took my phone of the mount, put my gloves in the cubby and started to step off...timber. only damage was to my ego.
I choose my own ride and destination and seek not your approval of either.
done it twice. once on each side.
It happens, funny how some will not admit it though. I let mine down slowly Sat turning on a steep drive going back up while turning and tying not to bump a car...oh well...

I put mine down walking it out of my garage. I was on the kick stand side and I let it go too far the other way. The bike leaned into the side of my garage door, pushed the right mirror further forward than it should go, and cracked the front fairing. I haven't replaced it and I'm probably the only one who notices the crack. The mirror is fine.
I did not fully have the kickstand all the way down and laid mine down while I was jumping off.
