Glad you are OK.

That front tire looks like s***. Not sure what happened in your case, but riding on a tire that's past its prime isn't going to help if you need to react quickly to anything.

Looks salvageable. My son rode one that went down (luckily not with him on it) at 85 mph. Wasn't really as messed-up as you would think. Ran it without any fairings for years and many thousands of miles.

The pix would be easier to look at if they were resized.
