I have never been down on a street bike (I'm knocking on wood here), and I've been riding for 18 years or so. I've had some close calls... gravel, oil, shoestring caught in my shifter as I tried to put my foot down... but never has anything but the tires or sidestand touched the ground.
But, that's another reason why I like sportbikes... they are much lighter and easier to maneuver and operate. If a 800 pound bike starts to go over... it's going. If a 350 pound bike starts to go, you can stop it.
