You went down at 110, and you got a nice bruise and some road rash. To make your bike right it will cost you about $100. I've read posts where guys have dropped their bikes in a garage and suffered more serious bodily injuries and caused more damage to their bikes. All in all, I'd say you made out pretty well.
So, what happened? Tank slapper?

I dunno what your supposed to do but God must have further plans for you...whether you are a believer or not
I've never done 110 on a motorcycle and never will. Done 140 in a Corvette Convertible though and that was scary enough on 4 wheels. Not the speed it's the people who changes lanes half mile ahead of you and your on their *** in 3 seconds.
My harley pleasurable speed is in between 50-60mph

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield...
Glad your injuries were not worse...painful but not too serious. I have been up around Sand Mountain/Ft. Payne and that area many times...used to live up there once upon a time and still have family around that area...I want to know where the f'k you found a stretch of road straight enough to get it up to 110?

Look pretty good for 110mph skid. I've gone down about that speed on the track with full gear and I still got some hot spots from sliding.
I'd chock it up as a learning experience and get some better protective gear. I've seen worse at much lower speeds.

Glad you came out relatively unscathed.
Sliding's the easy part...impact or rolling is what can hurt.
I slid 150 feet on the asphalt...didn't hurt much at all. What hurt was getting hit, and then landing after flying thru the air 100+ feet.
