Hopefully this works. I haven’t actually put up a new thread myself here before. See if you can figure out which is my favorite and least favorite.
So, the least favorite is something that happened on the way home.
The favorite is a beautiful dark blue.

Yup. After looking at it again, I think it's pretty easily repairable. It's just time & money. At least it's work I've done before. I had to do similar repairs after a tree fell on my shed several years ago.

It's a bit more than that. A used upper fairing, in orange, ran ~$300 last time. Other stuff I'll need includes, but isn't limited to, a headlight, turn signal, mounting bracket, frame sliders, footpegs, bar ends, grips, swingarm spools, engine case guards, and possibly a mid-fairing. I'm sure there are things I've missed. So $1000?

You only see one side in that last shot. The other side hit the ground. The headlight happened to hit a car bumper.
The left peg, frame slider, and bar end snapped off. I’ll probably go Woodcraft for sliders & engine case protectors instead of the off brand I had. Maybe it’s time for flush mounted signals like all the cool kids.
There is some rash on the plastics, but whatever. These bikes are only worth $3k when the are in perfect shape. That’s what stickers are for right? I would like to have my fairings intact so they readily attach to the bike though.
...and a new helmet. I didn’t seem to hit my head hard, but I think my head is worth a new lid.
The other part of me is screaming "SAVE MONEY FOR YOUR GARAGE EXPANSION!"
