I've done it four times,
Texas KZ750 VTX 1800
Missouri ST 1300
Hawaii ST 1300
Maybe I need a trike.

Now we have to keep a log of drops, including Date, Time of Day, State, County, Municipality, Street Name, Location in Lat-Long Coordinates? Maybe even a description of what distractions caused said indiscretion, how you got it up on its feet...wheels again, and a detailed description of aches and pains suffered by lifting the bike up again?

No, just where.

LOL if you can supply all that.
I've been over several times.
1967 Honda CA77: July 1969-Shreveport, Louisiana, conflict with bicyclist. The neighborhood is long gone. Slid under him on the right side, front tire dug in and we flipped over. NO people injuries...both bikes doa. I learned to watch more than the condition of the road ahead.
1970 Honda CB750: July 1970-Shreveport, Louisiana, side stand/hot asphalt. Brand new Pizza Hut off Hwy 70 near the west of town. The handlebar/lever tangled with my belt and loop on the way over...needed help getting untangled. No damage, just took a bit to clean the hardened asphalt off the stand. Bought the guys who helped a round of drinks.
Note....Shreveport is no longer a stop on trips.....
2001 Honda ST1100: May 2017-Durant, Oklahoma, marble sized/shaped gravel spill in gas station driveway from recent road work-surprise!! Roller skated to a stop and slipped on the marbles. Had to spend the night as my foot swelled too much to wear my boot. Small scuffs on tipover cover and saddle bag.

Good point! And we can also have a map with the states colored if we drop it in more than one state. Maybe push pins in the map too?
Boys boys! It's not like a HAM ticket where you strive for Worked All States status.
State : Sober . Cold weather and engine. She coughed at a critical moment ,during slow turn practice. I couldn't holder her up ! No damage ,but a good lesson. Make sure your engine is warm before doing tricks ! (glad I'm done with that)
