[KC-10 FE]

Glad to hear you are OK. It also sounds like you have your wits about you since you were analyzing factors that contributed to the mishap mere minutes after it happened. Get the bike fixed & get back on. Life throws curve balls. If you're going to strike out, at least go down swinging.

I would also say you shouldn't be disappointed in your jacket.

Leather slides.

Textile rips.

Both do the same thing. Both do that thing in different ways. So ruined your jacket? Big deal. Any broken bones? Any road rash? Sound to me like your jacket did exactly what it was designed to do. A new jacket is a small, small price to pay to NOT be laying in a hospital bed.
