I'm ok! But my bike's had better days.

I've discussed what happened and what I could have done to a vetern biker at work (been riding ~20 years and used to race) He mentioned there wasn't a lot I could have done, and most likely took the path of least damage (to both myself and the bike.)

There's a silver lining to this cloud though; When my clutch lever was snapped, I was still riding, when I engaged it, I would only get about 50% clutch though, so it forced me to match revs to road speed, new clutch lever on and still doing it.

I think that may have been what caused the accident, going towards the corner, braked and changed down a gear without matching roadspeed, locked the rear wheel and started going sideways. I noticed that I may have a subconcious fear with left high speed turns now, as I was going around an onramp that I knew I could take without braking (and did) but I sure as hell wanted to.

You say there was nothing you could have done yet put all of the blame on your technique.

I could have prevented it with better technique, but as it happened, once it the rear wheel started drifting out, there wasn't a lot I could do.
