The most important question!!!

Yeah. Amazingly little damage considering what happened. One frame slider is ground down maybe 1/3 of the way, there's rash on the fairing, the stator cover (a super-beefy Woodcraft full replacement) is scarred, the brand-new windshield broke when it hit a tire, there are some fresh ground-down spots on the pegs and the shifter took a hit but is still intact. But that's all... the clip-ons didn't even get touched. When we got back to the garage it started right up.

Oh, and there are several pounds of rocks in the belly pan that look like they came off of Wilma Flintstone's necklace.

My gear fared incredibly well too. Big scuff on my left forearm with a split in the leather over my elbow (need to think about that... looks serviceable but I might want to patch it) and scuffs on the shoulder where I hit. The vest is astonishingly unscathed aside from a tiny scuff. I can't figure that one out at all. Haven't looked closely at the gloves yet.
