Well, got the estimate;
parts $2200
labor $900

and I'm claiming $1000 worth of gear - leather jacket pants, boots, helmet are all shot. I can probably salvage the jacket and pants, and live with the tear, keep it as a backup. But yeah - more damage than I thought. No structural or engine damage - mostly replacing covers, some fairing, but bike is still structurally sound. I'll see if I can post some pics.

Here's where the accident happened - and yes that's exactly where the ramp is 100 feet off the ground - scary as ****! I think that's part of the reason I didn't hot the brake so hard, I was afraid to go over, and figured better to slam into side that brake to hard and flip over!

I'm gonna hear back from Insurance people on Monday, so far they've been nice to deal with - and yes I did make the claim. I may try to repair some of this myself - we'll see what options I get. Crazy how expensive the parts can be!

thanks for the support guys - keep it safe!
