Dropped the bike

Just had what was for me the funniest moment on the bike in a while. Long day at the end of a long week. 6 day week and the end of a 12 hour shift, I decided I'm getting me come KFC. Nearest one doesn't deliver to me so I hop on the bike and ride up.

10 mins later I'm pulling into the parking lot, oh look 3 empty spaces right next to each other I can turn around in them. I get most of the way through the turn when I slip just a bit, the bike starts to tilt and I know it's going. I catch it when its still about 20° from horizontal, the drop cut out hasn't killed the engine, and the engine guard is still off the ground.

But unlike other times, I'm just too damn tired to recover it. So I'm standing there, bike near the ground and me at a ridiculous angle to keep it there. I start laughing at the situation, gently put it down and step off to lift it properly. I pop my helmet off and there's an older gent nearby laughing and asking if I'm alright. The absurdness of it still has me smiling and I thought I'd share.
