Well, it happened. My first wreck, and it was a bad one.

...The dealer needs to replace the tire front forks, left side hand controls, left side pegs, front exhaust pipe, tank, front fender, derby cover, left side rear lamp, AND THE FRAME (apparently the oil cooler mounting tab was bent, along with the neck). Total cost to repair is $7600. Adjuster said it wouldn't be totaled unless repairs reach $9900 or so.
Also on the mend,
JR

Glad to hear it wasn't worse - thanks for sharing and reminding all of us to be prepared, and that it only takes less than a second.
The best to you, I hope you have quick, safe and complete recovery.

Update:
My Fat Bob was finished a couple of weeks ago, and I rode it around the block to test things out. There was a chip on the mounting tab for the gas tank, so the dealer took it back and will get the tank reshot.
As for me, I'm recovering pretty well. Have a follow-up with my arm surgeon next month, and hopefully I'll get a clean bill of health from that.
Here's a picture of what my ride looked like after the accident.
