I went down for the first time today. Still doesn't feel like it really happened. No one to blame but myself.
I was heading home with my wife on her bike behind me and taking some back country roads that we have taken a few times. Came to an point in the road were I could go straight or fork off. More or less chose to turn too late, realized I was hot, so I decided to stay straight. As soon as I decided to stay straight I saw the gravel triangle in the middle of the road and knew I was screwed. Front end washed out and I laid down on the left side. Bike and I slid off the road into the ditch. I rolled right out of it and bike caught something a flipped over once it hit the grass from what I can tell.
I am very impressed how I and the bike held up. I bet I was going 50 or so when I lost it. Stator cover, frame slider and mirror took the brunt of the damage. I was leaking, but it was slow enough I rode her home. Snapped the left mirror off and broke my Puig Double Bubble. Left slider will need replaced. Some minor cosmetic damage to the fairings. Some holes in my jacket, but managed to keep the Arai off the pavement
I'll have a big ole bruise on my hip, but that is it.
So I think I am a lucky guy today!!!!

Experiencing your first spill and living to tell the tale: Priceless
So, anyone have a left mirror, stator cover, or double bubble wind screen?
