That's a real bummer. Whilst you sound like you have dealt with it mentally cos after all it will be fixed, I just can't imagine how it would feel to see your pride and joy in a ditch all banged up. Thanks for sharing with us though cos we all understand how easy these things can happen.
Not wanting to steal you thunder but I was probably just lucky on my last ride not to do exactly the same thing. Couldn't take the corner cos of gravel from a road exit, so I decided to just go straight into the clearing. My rear brake just skidded so I hauled onto the front discs and pulled up just in time not to hit some trees. Scary business but no damage.
I'm hoping I learn from these near missus cos if I don't, eventually one will bite me.
Thanks again Angel. Maybe some pics if you can pick up the courage.
