Thanks for all the comments and well wishes. I regret ever saying that alcohol was consumed because I know some are absolutely against that. And I respect that 100%. However, that in now way contributed to the accident. That being said, I apologize for offending anyone or starting a ruckus over that issue. As for locking up the read brake, it was a stupid mistake and, yes, I was using the front brake as well. As a matter of fact I use the front almost exclusively. But recently I had been trying to use the rear more often for certain situations, more experimenting than anything else I guess. In this case I was obviously using the rear and ended up applying it too aggressively. Between the first lockup and the second (final) I was on the front brake. I think I just got too aggressive with the rear and lost it. Looking back I see several things that I could have done better. Taking the warning from the floorboard scrape is one thing that I should have done. To me that usually means slow down, this time I didn't slow down enough. Lessons learned. And I'm still here.
