Again, I take the turn everyday. I've taken it at close to 70mph. This time I was only going maybe 50ish...

I'm still very confused about why this happened. I'm just thankful the bike and myself are in decent shape.

And thanks for everyones help and support, it's much appreciated.
Yup, Qualifiers are good tires. I have them on my F4i. Pressures sound right and the tires probably weren't cold. When I bike goes down, there is always a reason...they don't just fall over because.

My guess is road surface contamination such as oil, coolant or sand. My wife and I got off one night in a street intersection that had been sanded after an accident. The sand was on the white line paint and slick beyond belief.

Sometimes, you just can't see the hazard.

Glad you're ok. Just a note, if you decide not to wear gear (and you always should tho) at least don't go hot-rodding around. Tip-toe around and try to stay alive.

You already crashed that front fairing I sold you like 6 months ago? Good that you didn't get too damaged.
