Thanks Bexy, Thats one of the reasons im so glad I was still in the carpark, I think I was going too slow to do any real damage (Thankfully).

Thanks Paul, One the people who came to help me yesterday think it may have been a patch of Diesel on the road (Makes sense to me, when I slipped it felt Like I had gone over ice). As for getting back on the horse, I had to get straight on the bike yesterday, and I have been for a half hour bike ride today (even though I can hardly walk i can ride the bike fine lol ), Its getting easier again, I just cant shake the nervous feeling I get whenever I take a corner (Especially a left since that was the way I was turning when it happened).

Glad to see your ok again after that, I know people who have had only minor accidents in cars and have never been able to drive again.
Its odd the way the human brain handles nervousness, Im having trouble with my left hand turns aswel (As I said above) and ive found it helps if I put my foot out, not to let it touch the floor (Thats very dangerous) just to put it out a bit (got told not to do this when I was doing my training) but it really seems to help calm me down a bit.

ex once had a new vectra delivered nose first down the alley beside her house.
she reversed out slowly and a speeding coach came along and took off her back end. her bf at the time gave her no sympathy and she's never driven since. she has a panic attack if she gets in the diver's seat

Thats terrible, I wonder why he was so unsympathetic.

2 good old proverbs for you - 'take a hair from the back of the dog that bit you'

You have done the right thing - get straight back on and give it a go

Confidence will return, but 'pride comes before a fall' so be careful out there!

At least there seems to be no big damage either to you or the bike - sounds like you may have hit a patch of diesel or something - not much you can do M8

Keep upright & keep on the black bits was the old racer's motto

lol, thanks nikko, I'll remember that (Especially that last bit )
