I went 7 years before dropping my Goldwing. Pulled up to my garage door and was waiting for the door to open and lost my balance. Over it went but Goldwings only tip over about 45°. Then, a couple months later, I dropped it twice in the same day. Just bought a '95 BMW and dropped it due to not paying attention to the clutch activated side stand. I stopped it in gear and put the side stand down with my foot, but still had the clutch lever pulled. The stand immediately retracted and as I was getting off, the cycle just laid down on the left side. Fortunately, I have crash bars so no damage incurred, other than my pride. I blame that drop on the honey who had just pulled up beside me. So far, I have not dropped the CB1100.
