My dad (who had had ridden for years in the past, but took a brake from riding) bought a brand new DL650 V-Strom the same day that I got mine.
The shop delivered the bikes, and he got no more then 15 metres moving to towards the garage, and dropped it going over the hump into the driveway! (New tyres... bad slope...)
Luckily, it was slow speed, and only the indicator broke - but it happens to the best of people!
