    Don't look too bad, a bit of ABS slurry or bondo and she will be as good as new,,,and a new mirror...

    glad to hear your OK, well you at least don't mention your hurt, that is always a good thing...

    maybe a bruised ego.....

      Ouch! As GateKeeper said, glad you're ok! The fairing looks to be missing a good chunk, is it repairable or do you have to replace it? Tank damage is never any fun. Hope the damage wasn't any more extensive!

          Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

                Thats a real stinker. Glad you're ok. If a crash angers one, thats good. it means the rider isn't hurt bad enough to forget about the machine.

                        Man, that hurts! Were you wearing protective gear that helped? Glad you are ok but the bike's so nice, it isn't fair. ...there's so much that might be done to encourage bikes instead of installing hazards to wipe them out.

                          Sure you ain't hurt?

                          Have you checked your butt to see if there's a crack?
                          Don't laugh, it can happen.

                              Nice looking bike. I'm sorry it got cracked up. Man, can that be upsetting. It's very hard to simply be thankful that you are generally unscathed and that it wasn't worse when your baby is all messed up, but that's exactly what you need to do. That and get to work.

                              Again, sorry...
