Dropping your Rocket?
I've told this one off on myself before here. Abbreviated version.... kick stand did not get put all the way down while attempting to get fuel at a country store.....pinned my left leg between the bike and the pump. Had to yell for help to get free from three local rednecks who were repairing a truck tire.
 
poor mail service

Stopped at my mail box,which is along side a steep slope. Thought I heard the kick stand swing all the way out!!! As I thru my leg over to get off the bike came with me. Thank God the bike didn't roll down hill . I did though!! Another good reason to wear a helmet . I blamed the whole indecent on my wife for not picking up the mail .
 

Thats funny!

As i say... their is no such thing as a failed marrage...Only failed a failed wife!
 
Dropped it once when a deer ran out in front of me one night. I was going about 40mph, but panicked a bit and locked the breaks. I skidded onto the shoulder and it just flipped out from under me on the gravel.

That was before I had the crash bars on, but fortunately a slight bend to the clutch lever was the only damage to the bike. I banged my knee up a bit, and probably did my back in lifting it up.

I've also had it blow over once in high winds while it was parked. That was after I installed crash bars and it was a lot easier to pick up with those.
 
Rhino riding is funny, not sure it will help with motorcycle skills though. I think you could drop your bike easier than some people think, turn your ankle, on gravel, etc.
