1 so far. Low speed low side from turning into a friends gravel driveway and still touching the front brake like an idiot. Tire washed out and bike went down, I never even hit the ground.

A bunch of times, both street and dirt. The most memorable one was hitting a pothole at 80mph while doing a stoppie. Ended up sliding face first on my chest, rolled my shoulder to get on my back and saw the nice big TLR flipping through the air. Bike lands right on top on me. No damage to bike, a footpeg through the calf for me.

Dude that's the worst feeling. I went off track at Roebling a few years back and got slowed down to probably around 40 before I hit the pile of tires. I went over the bars and thought I was ok until I looked up (backwards) and my 929 came down on top of me...

1 low side on a cold night with cold tires and one into the back of a car doing 1mph no injures!

I've crashed a few times.
first was going into my driveway at my old place, front brake while turning on gravel driveway=crash.
then I really overcooked it goin into a 90 degree left hander, target fixated and went off the road into the sand, got it kinda stopped/fell over at the same time, and broke a turn signal.
Then there was 32 year old tire on wet slick pavement turning left on my 75 Honda 550K, which didnt hurt anything.
THEN there was my experience with same tire doing 60 in a parking lot, slammed on the brakes, and the tire washed out on the same honda 550. this was a case of drinko drivo.(I know, big nono) NEVER doin that again.

I've also dropped my bikes a few times too.
