dang FFCBRf4i, sorry to hear but kudos on the gear .. my biggest fear is those Progressive insurance gremlins coming out of nowhere to take me down .. glad they only got your bike and didn't get you.
420, in addition to what sb said, most common cause (there are others) is when locking the rear brake and letting go mid slid causing quick traction regain and bucking you off toward the moon.

Glad your ok man and sorry about the bike. I had a deam last night that I crashed my bike, but I jumped off into the grass and was fine, but my sweet F4 was rashed up. I woke up mad LOL!
I have put 1K miles on my bike this spring and sometimes I wounder why I ride with all that can go wrong. I guess it's the fact that I love to ride so much I take the risk like we all do.

I high sided almost exactly the way this guy did, but not as violent.

High-siding is fun if you have a cushion to catch you and your bike afterwards so that there wouldn't be any damage. It's nice being in the air, but it's the part where you come down that sucks. It would definitely hurt more if I didn't have my gear on. After you land, you're basically just tossed around and rolling.
Trying to get pics up soon.
