Rick that is Kons riding the bike at the dragon. Lucky you missed all those trees buddy.
Kon's it almost appears as though as you came round the apex leaning the bike your exhaust started scraping which may have lifted the weight off the back tire causing you to low side.... I don't see another reason for it?

Wow Kons,
They are great pics, to bad they are of you crashing.
Very glad to know you're okay.
If I might offer a small observation on your riding technique. If you were to hang off the bike you'd be able to reduce your lean angle while still going the same (or even more) speed around the corner. Initially it may take a little getting used to but I can tell you, for me, not hanging off feels wierd. You will also find that the bike/suspension/etc all works better as you hang off because not only do you have less lean angle, the center of gravity is lower, etc all make the bike work better.
Get her fixed over the winter and hop back on in the spring. For biking it's not if but when a motorcyclist will crash.
