Sort of OT..
Had my first proper off on the bike last night. Damp road, right hand corner with oncoming traffic making my vision somewhat compromised. Noticed the corner was narrowing a bit so I applied the front brakes, and the cold tyres decided that traction wasn't something they fancied at the time, so the bike fell out from underneath me and I slid for a few metres.
Happened so fast I barely knew what was happening, such a surprise to be riding along at one moment and then the next I'm sliding along the road. Luckily there was a cyclist coming the other way who saw me go down, so he dropped his bike and helped me get mine off to the side of the road. Had at least three people who stopped to make sure I was okay, nice to know even complete strangers will stop and help out.
Damage wasn't too bad, took out the right side indicator and mirror, snapped the brake lever and bent the brake pedal slightly, and put some battle scars on the main fairings and muffler:
Luckily there was no frame or engine damage so I was able to (cautiously) ride it back home, having no front brake is a little disconcerting though.
Unfortunately, I had my camera in my backpack at the time, which resulted in
this..
