Bent the left mirror extender, rubbed a flat spot on the left brake lever, rubbed a little pain off the front fender and the lower left body work.
I was wearing a backpack on top of a jacket, gloves and helmet - the backpack probably kept me from touching the ground with my helmet.
I got only a wet azz, not to wet to keep me from making it to work on time.

My tires are good, but the spot is heavily trafficked by semi and dump trucks along with plenty of cages. There is a Peter-built shop right there. Some of every automotive chemical on that intersection and a bit of moisture.
Hi
So very happy and relieved that you werent injured
Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank
