Noob, try hanging off the bike then, you can bring the bike down to you if corner tightens up. That was a stupid crash man. Hope you improve your lines, and movement.
glad ur ok. it happens to the best of us. prob wont be ur last. it just comes with the territory. Get up with me on here if u ever head back up there. There are some cheap cabins just down the road and we usually travel 3 deep if not more. always looking for more riders to join us just as long as u stay off the damn yellow. Iv chased cars down for crossing it on many roads. The cops are good about pulling 18 wheelers over for running the road and asking them to find another route.
it happens to the best of us. good thing you could walk away. Im headed there tomorrow and hitting it all damn day Sat, but yes....can be very damaging to your pride. Best of luck on the restoration!
not too bad. scratched the pretty red plastic and broke the end off the shift lever. i have a new lever now . . . one that folds in when (IF) it hits the ground. *snark*
yeah . . . preceded by "Oh My God the turn goes over THERE!!!!!" Then i made a desperate attempt to NOT DIE -- i let off the throttle, threw everything to the left, and target fixated . . . on the ground. In other words, given the choice of high-siding over the guardrail or low-siding across the pavement and testing my gear . . . . i went for the gentlest low-side i could manage. ;-)

Brakes and throttle together? Why my dear? Anyway, sh!t happens. Especially when you are an amature. You should get a scooter first.
Geazus... .Poor V-Strom.

Too bad you didnt made it through the curve.
Yeah the snake can be a bitch sometimes. Lucky me, haven't crashed on it yet.
Did it this year and last year.
