Other than the mirror, how's the rest of your top piece? I imagine that lower cover isn't cheap to replace. Are you going to replace it or have that edge repaired? Looks like your front fender & forks are ok. Did the fork hit anything?

Low side drop? No big deal. You go down. Gravity assisted. Hope you got your leg out of the way.

When a bike is 'dumped', or 'laid down', it falls DOWN, gravity assisted, all the way to the ground and ends up on its side. At slow speeds this usually results in little or no damage to the bike or the rider. Even at higher speeds, given that the rider is wearing appropriate protective clothing, most damage is restricted to the bike. In either case, these are known as doing a lowside - meaning that the rider exits the bike by going in the direction of the fall: down.....

I've had a few low side drops. Who hasn't?
