This is a non-issue. You've had an unlucky lock up. Happens to all of us.

Build your confidence back up by getting on a quiet bit of road, hitting 70mph and learning to brake gradually and firmly again. Stick your legs out if you're not confident the front will hold, as soon as it slips, let off the brake and the bike'll pop upright again.
Thanks - I will. I may give the tyres a wipe down, which will help at least for psychological reasons. I'll probably give the garage floor a clean and clear some of the mess up. It all can't hurt, but you're right - I just need to rebuild confidence in the tyres.

Thanks.
