Yes, I injured my left leg right under my knee and the inside of my left foot under my ankle and I'm still a little sore. Interestingly, my blue jeans were not even scratched and neither was my left boot. I was just bruised.
The bike had only minor scratches on the right side where it fell on the loose gravel. These minor scratches were at the bar end, the T-Rex engine protector bar and a very small scratch on the small windshield. I pretty much got rid of the scratches with a black permanent marker.
Two Harley motorcycle couples had gone by the intersection but returned and offered to help. Somehow, I managed to lift up the bike by myself and engage the kickstand to park it while I took inventory and gathered my thoughts. I then rode the bike for about an hour.
I have to admit, however, that every time I go by that spot (every time I ride because I live on a gravel road that empties into this main paved highway), I tense up.
