Glad to hear your shoulder didn't break V8N3T and you got away with no major injuries.
Sucks about the brakes....never experienced that and hopefully never will nor you again.
Most important thing is you'll be able to get out on 2 wheels again....if not immediately....soon enough.
Don't worry about ruining any ride.....**** happens. Glad you're ok.
Lamb..thanks for leading the ride.

Jeez guys. Glad it wasn't any more serious than it could've been. Was Pumphouse, or whatever that corner is called, a decreasing radius? Those are the ones to REALLY watch out for. You'll have perfect entry speed then all of a sudden, no more apex.
Trailbraking is about the only way to handle those and get the bike leaned.
Brake issue: Yup!!! You'll get that on yer stock setup if you're on the brakes hard all the time, especially on the decsent on the canyons. Busa stock brakes suck. Try upgrading to EBC HH or similar pads, Steel braided lines and that should solve your soft lever feel. Also adjust that lever so that it's on the #1 setting or full out so in the event you lose "some" brake feel, you'll still have some "insurance bite." And they will heat up and go soft no matter what you upgrade to.
Heal up V8. Bikes are replaceable. You on the other hand are not so get well and re-evaluate what happened and how you may have prevented your accident. Good luck.
Oh, BTW, next time you feel your levers starting to touch your grips, you know that must be a sign to slow down or stop all together.

Great to hear that it will just be bruising and a two week sore spot..
You guys want to get together when I head to San Diego in a couple-three weeks? I'd have to be on the Rune.
My mom lives there and I need to get the Rune sent over here..."He who hesitates is lost." CATO
