Hope you are ok mate. Not too mant bruises.
Thanks thegreek, I came off pretty much unscathed, sore foot and knee, and left shoulder.. probably from trying to pick the bike up with my adrenaline pumping.. because i didnt fall on that side.

I had no time to react to the loss of grip one second i was upright, the next I was eating tarmac... not nice at all.

You made a mistake, as long as you learn from it you will come out a better rider.

I try and tell myself to hang back and for 90% of the time I do. I'm glad you are ok and that the bike is, well, not to bad and like you say better to do this now and learn fro mit than get over confident and do something worse. Hope all goes well with the repairs.

You seem very positive, (been alot of off's on here recently, me included ,) draw a line under it, sort your bike out, and get back in the saddle

I've done the same myself (grabbing too much front brake) twice. Glad to hear that there is minimal bike & human body damage. Get back on ASAP and just remember to learn from your mistakes (not that I did!). Sounds like you're taking it pretty philosophically so far.

Live and learn.
Be glad it was minor.

As a relatively new rider it means alot to hear from you all, thanks very much for your comments.. I'm suprisingly unphased by this, I can live with the cosmetic fairing damage.. so just a new indy bulb (yes thankfully thats all it was) and new rear brake lever and I'll be back out and about... Next weekend most likely.. probably a large part of that rebuilding confidence in the front wheels stopping power.. Im worried now that Im going to be apprehensive about that front brake and do something even more silly.

Oh and the left shoulder is from me rolling up the road hahah not lifting the bike I can visualise how I landed now. was just a bit of a blur before.
