OP you need to get back on that horse....you are just beating yourself up.
If that was your first bike at 56 tho .....you did not get good advice....
You are on the wrong bike for your age and experience and it shows that you've had two come offs.....you join the list of other new riders in over their heads.
There are other bikes with thrilling performance without going into race replicas FFS.
You say you "love the bike" etc can't think of riding anything else........you have no experience of other bikes....how would you know?
There are very few roads in S Ontario where you can even begin to take advantage of that bike and the places that are great are in the US and 4 hours away ...not a very comfortable ride distance on that bike.
You are getting to the age where you can have the freedom to really see North America and if your son is interested then it's excellent ...my son and I flew our bikes to BC in 2015 and put on 10k km riding the area and then home.
You can have fun, thrills and a comfortable ride for distance ...I put 3,000 km on in 4 days riding Ohio last month on the CBF1000 ....without the unforgiving nature of an SS.
10k in trips since June....and I'm 70 ....but I've been riding for 50+ years.
I certainly don't push as hard as when I was younger but roads like Ohio 78 can still get the blood up on a responsive bike ...
Do you have riding partner???? ....

This is flat out horsepucky ....two thirds of riders will never have an accident on pavement and many, including me, have been riding for decades and hundreds of thousands of km without a come off on pavement.
You are spreading an dangerous meme and it's wrong.
