Dropped the 'Liner

No injuries. Not sure precisely what I did wrong, but probably something You Are Not Supposed To Do. In my office parking lot, coming around a bend, slow speed, a car came around the corner and I touched the front brake (maybe more than touched it) and the front wheel slid out and down she went. Checled the surface afterwards for loose gravel or what have you, but it looks like just your basic don't brake when you are turning deals. (Of course, I brake all the time when I am entering a turn and I was going like, 5 miles an hour. I'm thinking it was the slow speed that did it.)

I'm a little concerned about its affect on my confidence (I'm an over-thinker) so I am trying not to think about it too much. I had planned a rather longish ride for this weekend if I haven't lost my nerve.
