I went to the shop and had them put on a new back tire for me. Now I know they're slick when they're new, but dang!
I was pulling out onto the highway and I gave it just a tad more than I should have. It spun around on me and acted like it'd low-side if I kept going. I guess I reacted and let off the gas, which let my back tire grip again and it flung me over in a high-side.
I was hardly moving so it wasn't too bad. I'm a little sore now, but nothing I won't recover from with rest - I rolled instead of slid, plus I had my gear on - helmet, jacket, gloves, boots and jeans.
So I pushed it back to the shop where I just left.
I lost my brake lever and the crank case cover on the left side, along with one of the screws on that.
Oh and I scratched the crap out of my fairing on the left side near the turn signal.
