I had a low side the other day when I came around a turn covered in grape juice. Seems it's harvest time and a truck dumped wine grapes, but didn't clean the road properly! Bike slid on the crash bar and almost ground through it. The only damage other than the crash bar was the tip of the brake lever broke and my Aerostich was trashed. I continued my ride!

Kidding aside, glad you're OK.
