The other big rookie mistake was the panic braking when I actually had enough room to stop without locking it up. No offense taken, by the way. I posted my big dummy moment on here so y'all could rub it in a little and maybe shame me into better habits.
Yes, I did take an MSF course before I got my license, and the really funny thing was that just before I dumped it, I was thinking to myself, "I'm glad I took that course, because the things I learned in there really saved me from...(*&%$#%))(% oh shit."
It's been twelve hours and I'm beginning to get pretty sore. That hurts worse than anybody here calling me out for being a dumbass. Bring it! I deserve it.

Yup it was a rookie mistake. You let your concentration wander. Experienced riders also do the same thing so don't feel so bad. Glad there was no serious body damage to you or the bike. Ride Safe eh !!
