All been there! Did you try back squatting it?
I remember putting my foot down in the dark onto a leaf, went straight over. Thankfully I had full boots on with exoskeleton so was fine.

First time i went out on my Honda NC700S after passing my test i was still in peddle bike mode and flipped the side stand before trying to leg over the bike. Of course, as soon as the weight transferred to that side, i didn't have the strength to hold it up. Dropped it right on my leg. Humbling.

I have never done this....Never dropped a bike turning right at a traffic light and was pinned under the bike. There were school kids walking past laughing at me. Two old ladies had to lift the bike off me.

I remember almost dropping my ancient kawasaki in town when standing over it, and my my foot slipped a bit and I was just off balance enough that i couldn't pull it upright. I managed to hold it in place so it didn't knock over the other bikes parked next to it (in comical domino style) but i had no strength to lift it upright. Luckily a big guy was walking past at just the right moment and grabbed the handles at the back and lifted it. Mega cold sweats though just from thinking about it!
