I just changed kinds this weekend.
Have you ever had one of those days where everything just kind of feels "off"? Yesterday was one of those days for me. I led a group ride on a beautiful road, five others with me. Three of the riders I knew, the other two I didn't. One of the other two is far more experienced than I, and was on a faster bike. He was behind me. Right behind me. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming him. I claim responsibility, because I allowed myself to be distracted by his proximity. I was thinking I should find a spot to pull off and let him by, since he obviously wanted to go faster, but there weren't many places to pull off.
I looked up after the 20th time checking for him in my mirror to discover I was entering a decreasing radius corner too fast. I made every mistake in the book. I started to lean, then got on the brakes, thinking I'd brake hard for a sec to try to scrub off as much speed as possible, then take the corner. I could have done that, I know, because I know my bike is capable of it. But then I target-fixated on the side of the road, and you know what happens then....off I went.
Thankfully, I went off the road in probably the only spot along a 50-mile stretch of road where there was soft, wet grass. The road runs along a ridgeline, and is rife with trees and rocks, or sheer cliffs.
I was able to get the speed down to approximately 20 MPH before the front tire slid on the wet turf and caused the bike to low-side. I pushed off, and hit left-shoulder first, causing a dis-location. No other injuries, as I was wearing helmet, padded riding jacket, gleves, boots, etc.
I immediately jumped to my feet, and threw up my arms, to show my riding partners I was okay, then the motion of raising my left arm caused the shoulder to pop back into place (My first indication it had dis-located.) Just do you know, re-locating a shoulder hurts far more than dis-locating it.
Damage to the bike: both front turn-signals broke off, fairing destroyed, although it was already damaged quite a bit by the previous owner. I think my forks are tweaked a bit, too. The front suspension isn't quite right. I think the tubes may have twisted a bit in the tree. The good news is I already have another fairing I got from e-bay that just needs a small crack repaired, then it will be better than it was before the crash. A friend also said he has a set of front blinkers for me.
So all is not lost, I've learned some lessons, and I honestly think this experience will make me a better rider. It certainly could have been worse. I did finish the ride, by the way. I led the rest of the day, too and I completely ignored my tailgater the rest of the day. He passed me twice. I just let him go.
On the other hand, Maybe I was just trying to help Sev feel a little better - (written by Sevulturus):
Great minds think alike, and great friends crash as well. Feeling sorry for my little buddy up north I decided to go out of my way, ABOVE and BEYOND for him. I thought I'd show him JUST how much I really care and throw myself, bike and all off a cliff. Well, not really off a cliff, but off a road near a cliff and into a meadow. The only meadow infact on a 50 mile stretch of road. Sevulturus, buddy, this ones for you!
I think I may be able to relax a bit more now, if that makes any sense. I know exactly what caused me to go down, and I also know I could have avoided going down, even given my entry speed in the corner. 
Glad to hear that you will be ok, and that you are not ready to give it up just yet.
