Luckily this was after me putting the M/C crashbar on it. The bike suffered no scratches... and my leg had plenty of room... the crash bar did it's job.
Been there,done that,of course in front of a crowd. :blush: :oops:
Been there done that too. Thankfully I even had help picking up the bike so I could check for any damage. And yes, crash bars are a money saver and limb saver.
I, too, am a member of that prestigious club! I ended up pulling my shoulder trying to keep it from falling - was sore for a month.

To this day I ALWAYS visually verify that my side stand is down and locked. Lesson learned.
