First time down. No real damage. Brake lever is a little bent. a few scratches on the motor. No body damage or anything to the tank. I was going through right turn on red. It was late last night, all dark, no traffic. A mustang was in front of us, it yields and goes. My fiance was next on her scooter, she slows, looks left, then looks back and starts to roll forward faster... so I'm in first clutch out no throttle so had to be like 4-6mph. I give it just a little throttle as I looked left to make sure no traffic still and look back to see my fiance stopped, foot down.
I had plenty of room, and in any other case or with any other car/bike in front of me I probably would have been fine but because it was her I grabbed the front brake and locked it. I fell to the side and bike on top of my leg.

I got it back up and pulled into the near parking lot to check things out. Everything was fine. I twisted my wrist a little bit but no swelling today so that's ok. So really a bent brake lever and a bump on my hip is all. Not bad.
