Might be low on coolant if leaked out. Or you in heavier traffic or something or sitting still.

hmmm... i've heard of this happening before, but i just can't see it happening to me.... maybe because at a stop i am pretty much tall enough to stand flat on both feet and my seat barely touches my inner thighs? Dunno.... must feel so weird/ sucky going down in slow motion and not being able to do anything about it! Sorry for you and the bike though!

No disrespect to you bro, but I am always amazed when I hear about people dropping their bikes while standing still. My cuz did the same thing to his Gixxer, and I just don't get it. I used to think it was a height thing, but he's the same height as me. Sorry bout your misfortune though.
I did make a stupid ass mistake one time on a Honda Shadow though...The wheels on those lock seperataly from the ignition, so you have to turn the bike off, then lock the wheel. Well, I got back on the bike after parking it once, started 'er up, and let the throttle out in first. I was surprised, to say the least, when the bike wouldn't straighten out and needless to say, she fell over on her right side, right on the new Vance & Hines pipes I had put on. I felt like such an asshole...I guess I can't talk any shit on somebody who's foot slips at a stop.

Going..Going...Down... - 
I was just sitting on my bike trying to see where one of my friends were because he wasn't where i was going to meet him... and all of a sudden my left foot starts sliding, and sliding and im like oh $h1t... and down she goes rashing up my leg from my knee to a foot down also... The damage on the otherhand Wasn't bad at all luckly only the mirror and engine casing (whice was already scratched) and a little bit on the farring but it buffed right out... But after something weird happened it seemed like my bike heat jumped up to about 230 and the fans kicked in... Is that bad or good that it jumped up from around 180- 190 like that?
