That sounds like rust on the rotors/brake pads to me, give it a few good hard stops and see if it goes away.

Lack of cleaning/maintenance judging from the filth in the pics...

Total clean, check and lube parts each time the wheel is off....

You hear a noise..... dont ride it till you know what it is....

JUSt my 2 cents

glad your ok.

Be sure to check both rotors very carefully-depending on how far the wheel tilted or laid over, it could have bent 1 or both???

First of all I am very glad that you weren't hurt. I have never seen a wheel bearing on a motorcycle fail as badly as that. Usually the rider will stop riding once he figures out where the squeeling and grinding is coming from especially if the wheel wobbles! You my friend are very luck that you didn't bite it very hard on this one.
