Mike, first off, glad you are okay! Speculation is gonna happen anytime a thread like this appears - my initial speculation was that you came into the corner too hot - didn't see poor body position or a bad line; though I did question the tire style (not the matching) for that kind of riding.
Looks like I was wrong all the way around. It's good to know that style of tire will stay hooked at those lean angles - others have said it, but I've never been bold enough to try it. Obviously the parts dragging so soon after the pegs caught you off guard, and it sucks you ended up the lean angle tester for that skid plate.
The best thing that can come from a thread like this is that we all learn something, and I know I certainly have! I appreciate you telling the whole story, and giving your impressions of what went wrong. Now, I see this as a rider's abilities surpassing the bike's limitations - again, something any Tenere owner can learn from.
Again, glad you walked away, and it was also nice to read how complete strangers went out of their way to help you out.
