Very sorry about your bike, but equally happy you faired well for the most part~
I think I would sit and cry like a little girl if I had to watch my bike flip over like that! [&:]
Best wishes for a speedy recovery... [8D]

After reading how you went down and at that speed, it's lucky things weren't worse. Hope you heal up quick!
Were you riding in the center of your lane? That's usually were oil will collect, just look next time you stop at a toll booth.
