Wow- seven "answers" and no one even addressed the question!
Kiddo, if you are going down, you should kick the leg on the down side to the rear and push the bike away from you with your arms. Once separated from the bike, pull your arms in to your chest and try to relax. Keep your legs out (don't tuck up) and do not lock your knees.
Watch how the MotoGP guys take a slide when they go down ... they have their legs out and their arms crossed on their chests.
BTW, this is why you should ALWAYS wear a helmet, jacket, gloves, boots and sturdy pants, even for short rides. We can never know when an accident will happen, we can only be prepared for when it does.
Cheers.

I think I may be reading the question wrong. If you have an accident on your motorcycle, you are probably already off of it. I'ts the nature of a motorcyle that if you dump it, you lose it.
Are you asking for the proper procedure to follow if you are involved in a collision? If so, you do the same as you would in any vehicle collision. Check for injuries. Move the vehicles out of traffic lanes, if possible. Then exchange the relevant information with the other driver and/or the investigating officer.

Usually, you'll slow down more if you keep the bike under control as long as possible and stay on the brakes. Even if you still hit the object you were trying to avoid, you can slow faster with the brakes than by laying a bike down and sliding.

two answers.
first one if you see it coming and can do anything, lock rear wheel and then slid it round don't let it high side and then slide along the road behind it... if you end up it front it will follow you all the way to something hard and you don't want to be the meat in a sandwich..
two stop, kick down the stand and rest the bike on it run back to the scene of the crash waving you arms.

If it's unavoidable, try to lay the bike down on it's right side after getting your leg up & out of the way. Then , push away from the bike & try to slide on your back or side, keeping away from the bike until it stops. Then, find the nearest bar or joint & try to calm down.

My best advice is to take a drivers ed. course. Check in your area (local motorcycle dealer) and find where there is a class for rider safty. This is one of those questions that will get you lots of answers....most will get you hurt. Go to a pro.

Preferbly, I like to get off the bike after I've come to a complete stop, have it in neutral and I like to step off to the left of the bike.

Grendle describes what we call a "get-off". Passengers should be familiar with it , too.
