Went down yesterday riding a road that I've taken dozens of times already. Was coming up on a corner that my friend was stopped near the exit of, and I saw him start moving (assumed he was just waiting for me to catch up). So I enter the corner and look through to where I want to exit, and then all of a sudden I'm sliding on the road.
Scared me half to death cause I had my girlfriend with me. We're both okay though, just some minor road rash on the right side. We both were wearing jeans, and she had a faux leather jacket (not motorcycle), and I had my icon textile jacket on. I will be looking into leather as the textile held up worse than my jeans did. Anyways, we're alright, but I'm not sure what insurance is gonna do with my bike. It hit a mailbox and the entire front upper section is pretty destroyed.
Have some pictures.
