Thanks csnbiker;  I am looking forward to taking an Experienced/Advanced Rider course soon.  I'm almost to 2000kms ridden now, and I sort of have a goal to hit 3000 before I do that.  (I've looked up one such program and my understanding is they want applicants to have at least 3000kms riding experience or 1 year.)

The second thing you do in an accident (after hitting the kill swtch) is to grab a camera!  Newbie mistake.

Starting with something a little less torquey than a SV1000 might have been prudent too  Smile

Have now passed the 3000kms, and after a ride from Abbotsford to Whistler along the Sea to Sky Hwy am getting much more comfortable with cornering.  Am registered for the Advanced Rider Course with Westcoast Superbike School on Aug 2.  Very much looking forward to it.

@Justin: No doubt!  But having found a great deal on what was my secret heart's desire for a bike I couldn't say no. That ditching was hopefully the light spank I deserved for such hubris.  Lol
