OK, I dropped my previous bike a couple of times, both of them my fault. This one? Not so much. I was in the parking lot at the local drug store and found a space to back into. As I was backing into the space, my right foot chanced to land on someone's crushed, discarded plastic water bottle. My foot slid out, and down she went. The bright side is that I love the way that Honda designed these bikes to rest in places where nothing's going to get seriously damaged. When I dropped the Vulcan, I busted a clutch lever and scraped up the exhaust. On the ST, the only things scuffed are the black wing on the cowl and the black part of the hard bag (and I had to search to find that, figuring that it HAD to be scuffed *somewhere* on the back end).
Picking up a fallen ST in 100+ degree heat is a whole different conversation...
All in all, the bike's a little scuffed, but at least it was on the same side that the PO had scuffed it before I bought it. I can't even tell the difference. I love this bike. Now if we could just convince people not to throw their trash on the ground...
