First of all thanks to Nelso and Leanne for comin by to have a look at the bike for me and run through what happened....much appreciated
Started heading through Mac Pass (Sat. about 1pm) and just under a k in takin a left hander had the bike at full lean (peg scraping) and was about to gas it out (by the looks of things must have already started on the throttle), back sliped out and I was on the deck, I slid for few metres and ended up just on my side of the centre line but my bike slid and 360'ed another few metres and pulled up just in the on coming lane...thankfully there was no on coming traffic
) It appears that this is the furthest I have leant and hit a waxy edge on the tyre (with a high possibility of a bit of chain grease spatter. I've been adivsed to get some prepsol, which I will of course).Kevlar saved me this time but it's time to get some leathers, I walked away with out a scratch, the jeans got a few holes but didn't rupture the kevlar and my jacket got a bit of a scrape. Fortunately the bitumen didn't touch my helmet
As for my bike it's come away pretty good too, I was able to ride it away for starters
looks like I may be able to get away with just replacing the left handlebar, a lamp, and a bit of bending and buffing and then left with a few minor cosmetics that ought to be hardly noticeable From a distance u can't even see it's been for a slide 
Here's a few pics
a bloke told me years ago that you will stop falling off once you get sick of paying for repairs
