I just cant see it... you rode a bike for 20 years...and now you blame the bike for your error? Hogwash! I have been riding bikes since i was 18 im 43 now... I learned my first lesson on my second week of riding, Dont break while turning..not with your back brake.. and not with your front break period. breaking with rear brakes find your %!¤on pavement you will. breaking with front brakes if you dont flip it, find your face on pavement you will. Break before hitting turn, or if you have to ever so lightly tap BOTH breaks equally and be ready with more road on the outside of your turn.
