Adambomb, I've had my share of crashes, motorcycle included, and never had a problem returning to riding. My worst crashes were on a bicycle as there's just not enough speed to slide, I guess. One, which involved broken and cracked bones was a bit like yours, I didn't know the cause. I also had to ride back five miles to my starting point in the dark, that was fun.
Anyway, I returned to the site and determined that my front tire had fallen into a crack in the asphalt. Having a probable cause helped just for the peace of mind. I am still a little overly cautious, at the least more aware, of catching my front tire. The old adage about getting back on the bike after falling is the best advice I can give.
