In a 45 mph speed zone, I slowed to about 30 for a right hand turn onto a 4 lane road. I swung out too far [primarily due to excessive entry speed (for my skill level) and not pressing & leaning hard enough]. Then I fixated on the impending concrete median on the left hand side. Tires were very quickly approaching the gutter.

Panic set in, and I swerved harder to the right (mid-turn) to avoid the median. Banked hard right and death-gripped the throttle. Launched over the concrete curb on the R.H. side of the roadway. (Left the roadway.) The bike became lodged in trees/shrubs immediately and I was ejected. I front flipped over the handle bars and landed a few feet away looking up at the stars.


Attached are a before and after of my machine:

Oh no...

It kinda sounds like you had the right instinct by leaning more (and you didn't lowside). Did you shoot off towards the right curb? What would you have done differently?
