The 2 times I binned it on the SV Ecosse rideouts I got back on and carried on, and was fine... Really slow and shaken for the rest of the day but no problems at all after. But when i lost the front end on braking at Knockhill at speed it really took a bite out of my confidence... I was absolutely rubbish on the front brake for about a month after in the wet. Eventually I just changed a load of settings about- moved the levers etc, changed the pads back to stock for a while- and that changed things enough that I got comfy with it again.

It's perfectly natural, especially if you couldn't get straight back on.
