Umm... try real hard not to?
I've dropped my once standing still, and twice while slowing moving, one popping the clutch and flying into a shelf in my garage. The other time was popping the clutch, and going over the edge of a huge sink hole in my driveway (which some lady from the county drove into once, I think I'll post a pic of that).

If that ain't to personal of a question.

twice on my previous bike.
1st was very minor almost a stand still drop.
2nd was taking a corner too fast for my skill level.
