@PhilDAS exactly!
More your classic low side, sliding into the grass. Weirdest thing is I don't know why it happened. Was travelling about 50/60mph didn't have loads of lean angle, identical to the guy in front and the bike just fell away. Thankfully the damage isn't too bad, miracle the Arrow can is unmarked.

Nightmare. I bet you're gutted even though damage is minimal, it sucks laying the bike down hey.
Dropped my first bike just after I'd passed my test in a low speed manoeuvre and could have cried -
Maybe the bung kept the bike clear enough to avoid the fairing/can getting scratched?
I don’t know much but I’d cautiously agree with @Jung - maybe the tyres weren’t warm enough, or maybe they just weren’t sticky enough.
Better a low side than a high. How’re the leathers?
First real battle scars ticked off the list. Now you can ride it without concern!

Assuming you trimmed a hedge?
