First Fall

I slid out the rear wheel of the attack the other day. Going around a left hand corner at about 25 to 30 kph(guess based on other riding around this corner) I think I may have applied the rear brake, not sure but have to justify it to myself. The rear let go and I was slipping across the road behind the bike. The left foot released from the pedal, the right did not, the left elbow lost some skin, the left buttock hit hard. I have a bruise on the bum and a sore elbow but nothing serious.
I am waiting for a speedo mount from the lbs next week. I also need to look at smartubes for drink bottles as the current bottle location is too hard to replace after drinking and this prevents drinking while riding.
I am enjoying the riding and the balance is getting better.
