High-sided my Triumph

Went to the Virginia gaps Saturday with six of my riding buddies. I was having a great time and riding very well, hauling ass, hitting all the apexes, when I got a little wide on a very tight uphill left-hander. Anyone who has ridden Orchard's gap probably knows the one I am talking about as it has claimed many people.
I had saved it
but got back on the gas a little too soon (my back wheel was still in some gravel along the shoulder). Fortunately I was only traveling about 15mph at the time when I lost traction and then suddenly regained it bucking me off the bike like a wild bull. Shattered my brake fluid reservoir and my right rear-set. Also tweaked my handle bar just a bit. I zip-tied the brake flulid line closed and did my best to hold the rear set together and made my way home. No major damage done to me but I've been sore as hell the last couple days and I have a good sized bruise on my right wrist.
Back on the Ducati for awhile 'til I can get parts.

Sorry to hear that, glad you're in one piece though.
Good luck getting your bike fixed up.
So, just curious, anything you would do differently the next time?

Just one thing, don't be so eager to get back on the gas so soon.
