Then one time I was on the VFR, navigated a gravelly car park, pulled up and got my lace stuck on the footpeg, I slowly toppled over finally getting free when the bike was at about ~45degrees and dived off rather than try and save it[1].

Oof, glad the Sv is anorexic! Even a scrawny get like meself can right it - and it doesn't seem to land on anything vital. Dropped it on the other side on a cobblestone car park. Oh, and lanyards, If I lock it when parked (the lock is actually a shackle for a big ole chain) I usually use an old trouser clip on the brake, but I didn't plan for stupidity. Dur

On my TSX 50 I put the front brake on a bit too hard on a wet school car park just as everyone was leaving. Only about 500 of my school mates saw me sliding down the car park.

Even 14 years later it get brought up every now and then.

not my own fault but sliped on black ice IN colege at lunch time and slid the bike down the road .... lookd like a right TW&T specialy when the recovery van turned up and the only one they had was for the long transit vans so it was huuuuggggeeee
