Ran off the local expressway today

I was heading home when a guy decided to go from the first lane to the third without paying attention to traffic. I ended up on the shoulder for a short bit, but being new to the Vulcan 1600, I ended up on the grass on the median,which is where I lost control and went down. Fortunately my speed had significantly reduced, although it was still quite a jolt when I hit the ground. Stupid me left the Tourmaster pants in the trunk, but had the jacket on and was fairly well protected.. The guy who ran me off the road gunned it and was gone. It is unlikely I will get any justice out of the situation, but at least I am in good health (just a sore back and some bike repairs needed). So, does anyone have suggestions on how to keep the bike steady on tall grass? I clearly don't have a clue on how to navigate a Vulcan off road.

Thanks,

Chris
