Took my first spill today.

Bike is easy to fix, skin and missing body parts not so much.. doesn't look too bad for the speed you dumped it but you probably want to check those forks and your sub frame good when you get it stripped. Doesn't take much to bend the front triples or forks at all when its sliding on its side...

Glad to hear you walked away from the crash - especially at that speed.
You are correct zimdbw74, it is amazing how each crash is so damn different. I just got back on my bike from an October right-side slide at 30mph. My little spill shattered my right thumb and the doc gave me 6 screws and 1 titanium plate to put it back together. The bike only sustained cosmetic damage and used fairings off ebay made the repair much cheaper. She still rides like new but just doesn't look as pretty until I find me a cheap painter. I am a completely different rider since the crash - for the better.
