I never dropped the used $600 Honda Rebel that was my first bike. When I bought my nice new VFR I promptly dropped it one week later...

dropped in mud once, no damage.

knocked over by someone's freakin' little rug rat, busted clutch lever, front turn signal, bar end weight, and shifter.

1 crash, 2 drops, only been riding for about 2 seasons.
hopefully it's all out of my system now.

I've had some pretty embarrassing drops. Once I stepped off my bike and forgot to put the kickstand down.

3 weeks after I bought my Ulysses, I dropped it in a parking lot trying to u-turn. I rode back to Atlanta from North Carolina like this:

Another time, I stopped on a steep slope with my bike perpendicular to the hill. When I went to put my downhill foot on the ground, there was nothing under it, and I fell right over. To add insult to injury, I couldn't lift the bike by myself with it pointed down the hill.
