If you drop an ultra will it hurt it?

Hate to admit this, but I have, 1x, dropped the scoot.
I was stopping to take a picture on the west side of Independence pass during my Fall Colors road trip...stopped on some loose gravel, put my right foot down and it just slid out away from the bike and I laid my scoot over. Ugh!
Pride aside, it did not hurt the bike at all, no scrapes, no scratches and everything looks just as it did on day of delivery (except dirty). Getting the bike up wasn't an easy task, but I did manage to get her back up on the kickstand and took 10 minutes to gather my wits (what little I have left LOL), pull my head out of my backside (telling myself "don't stop on loose $h!t again dork@$$") and the continued to motor on.
I did have to break out the allen wrench and adjust my right highway peg back to its proper position (about 15 degrees outta whack).

Yeah, I had actually pulled off the side of the road in the Smoky Mtns Natl Park. Really a place I had no business pulling off at. Tried to turn it around while the wife was off, the bike was pointing uphill pretty good and I lost my footing when it leaned over too far downhill. It might have slid down the asphalt a little. I was just worried about not getting caught under it and was bailing off.
