Glad to hear you're OK. Sorry about the bike. Look at it as an opportunity to do some tech stuff.

My MSF course didn't teach us to prepare for crashing. In the situation you experienced our instructors taught us too lean more and commit to the turn. In the event we have to stop in a turn, straighten up first and stop as quickly and safely as possible.
I'm still a big noob to riding, and I've gone into some turns too fast. When I do, I lean more and/or push on the handlebar of the direction I want to go and that's gotten me through.
I've been monitoring local news regarding motorcycle accidents and there's been a few fatalities. At least two thirds of them involved a single motorcycle failing to negotiate a curve.
Again glad you're OK. Ride safe.
