The only drops i have ever had in 20 years have all been off road in sketchy conditions.I had 3 Super Tenere's and never dropped any of them, but, I don't do any off road. I will do gravel roads but that is the extent of my adventures. Surely, I am not the only one to keep my bikes upright am I?
I work in the motorcycle industry with about 2 dozen other folks. We handle a lot of bikes. Taking them on and off trucks and moving them around as needed. Many of us are likely to handle more bikes in a year than the average rider will handle in a lifetime. I can tell you that, as far as this group is concerned, dropping bikes is neither understandable or acceptable. If we did, we wouldn't have a job for very long. If you are careful and mindful as to how and where you park your bike the likelihood of dropping it will be reduced by several levels of magnitude. If we have any inclines to deal with we are sure to leave it in gear.
If you are doing off road all bets are off especially on the Super Tenere.
What you say is completely reasonable.
