Glad you're OK. I picked up my Indian on Saturday, and almost did the same thing turning a corner right by my place. I was lightly accelerating through the turn and I felt the rear tire break traction and slid out a bit. I caught it in time but was bewildered as to how it happened. I wrote it off as a brand new bike with only 9 miles on the tires not gripping properly as they aren't broken in. I think the pavement is glass smooth from wear right there, adding to the problem.

Thanks and NO I didn't high-side, been there done that. Tires never got traction to do the flip over, just a simple washout and slides around.
It was just so strange. I've slid out, endoed, and highsided in MX, flipped doing wheelies, but this was just a leisurely ride, nothing stupid. YES it can happen to any of us at any time.
