gutted!!
I worked at a bike shop and you never like hearing/seeing a bike fall over... 
Luckily I never did it, but when you move 20 bikes twice a day, you can imagine it does happen.
What bike is it?

Gutted! For you
Do you remember the bike meeting, think it was at Brands where it got ridiculously hot the tarmac melted & dozens of bikes fell over in the car
parks!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

My NC30 jumped off it's stand a few times when parked on tarmac. Think it was caused by stiction in front forks and a useless sidestand that
meant it was nearly vertical when parked. The last time it cracked the engine sidecase. Hairline crack about 4 inches long but needed a new
casing.

What did it land on?
That's a fair old ding for a drop, it'll hold less petrol now  . The dent man could push a lot of that back out but it's costly and
filler does the job, just not as elegant. I dropped mine putting it on the centre stand with sludgy shoes but I was holding the handlebar and slowed
it down so it only scraped the other handle weight when it landed. It did Irish Whip me though, quite funny to watch according to some.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yes it's quite a dent; unfortunately it didn't fall on the handle bars, rather a badly placed bit of garden decoration, a bolder

NastyBe needing some of
these or a locost equivalent. A patch of filler that deep and wide would likely fall out at some point.

apparently dents can be popped out using compressed air.
or just make a similar dent on other side so it looks symmetrical
