nothing to be ashamed of, did the same thing, slow turn, must have hit the front brake, down quicker than the blink of an eye, tried like hell to hold it up, no way, minor bike damage, major pride damage, but you get over it, just put it in the lesson learned column.

Pick up the Ride Like a Pro video, it is full of low speed handling info, well worth the price.
