    Got my TS in May.
    Dropped it, in June, on the RHS while turning uphill on some gravel while I was on the Isle of Man.
    Dropped it, on Saturday, on the Caen ferry when trying to get it in the tight space they pointed at, I caught the pannier as I turned in and down she went on the LHS.
    Only scrapes are a couple of small ones on the engine bars and that's about it :)

    Dropped it after a mile after having bought it... Was used to me old Ninja so pulling out into a junction I gave it some and the rear wheel overtook me. Dropped it again after not breaking quickly enough in front of a mate. Was dropped by some arsehole who bounced his car off it (made a pretty sum out of it, though).

    Three times lucky, all in the space of a couple of months. Since then it's stayed surprisingly upright.
