Went down today...at lunch. Damnit! 
#@&*^#@)#(%
Low speed, tight radius turn...maybe around 10mph. Dunno what happened...felt real good going into the turn, leaned her low. Looking through the turn, decided to glance at the nose to see the reference point to the ground. Think I may have done a little over-correction...because the next thing I know the bike slid about 2-3 feet away from me and I landed on my left butt cheek/left outer thigh. Did a quick butt roll and was instantly up on my feet...got to the bike before the motor even died out. ??? Lifted her up, FI light on...turned off starter switch, turned off ignition, turned it back on along with starter switch and VROOM!...back in business.
Only part of my upper body that touched the ground were my hands. No scratches or messed up palms. Hell, even my work slacks have only a little bit of scuffing. Guess the speed was really low...my pants weren't torn and shoes weren't scuffed.
Helmet still in pristine condition...never even came near the ground. Plastics are all good...no added scratches or cracks.
Stator cover a little scuffed on the bottom...clutch side frame slider has a bit of the tip ground off. Kinda like at an angle. ??? I'm ok...only my pride is hurt. Just my luck...it happened at one of the island's busiest intersections at one of the busiest times. Damnit!
Damnit!!!
Now I need another set of extended frame sliders...can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

By the sounds of it thou...I'm more distraught than you are. Glad yer taking it so well. 
I'm no worse for wear...only my pride is hurt bad. In my eyes, this is more a newbie mistake...not one that I should be making. I mean, c'mon...it's not like this is my first rodeo.
