Not yet. I'm waiting till I get some crash bars on her before I start moving her around too much!2 of the most common ways to drop your bike...

I hope you have better luck
Awesome advice. Thanks- I actually was wondering if I would wreck the clutch by feathering it a lot and if that was a big no-no.Welcome!
Your post sounds like me earlier this spring. I was deciding on my first bike, also between a KLR and Wee. I chose the Wee and more than 8000 miles later I'm loving it.
One word of caution...Treat the clutch differently than a car. I was raised on stick shifts in cars and trucks but was taught to slip the clutch as little as possible - that doesn't apply to bikes. You don't want to idle the bike around in first gear...I was doing just that and got gently on the throttle while turning and it stalled. My long inseam saved a tip-over but it was close (lesson learned). Use the clutch until the rpm's and speed are above a crawling idle.
Enjoy your new bike!
Edit: One more thing. A Motorcycle safety course is fun and informative. Best 225 dollars I spent related to motorcycling.
