I'm mostly okay, banged up my wrist, not broken, but probably twisted and hyper extended it.
Other driver Ahole was DUI. No insurance, no drivers lic....... "hey man I can just give you cash to fix it" No you can't you can go to jail.
So while Ill probably have to pay out of pocket to fix the bike you can pay the tow, impound, DUI court costs, and bail money scum bag.
Nothing too serious. Rear lic plate holder is bent, turn signal is broken, front fender has a small crack. Luggage mount "bmw tow hook" got scrapped, engine bars got scrapped. Not worried about the luggage mount or engine guards or front fender. Without that stuff its like $75 in parts, whew load off my mind. Front fender is $100 but the crack is so small I probably wont bother doing anything with it. Ill get further into it tomorrow, but from what I could see with a flashlight on the side of the road that was it.
Update on damage.
Had a minute to go look at the bike on our loading dock in good light, not just a flashlight on the roadside.
He nicked my swing arm. Tiny bit of damage to the very end of it and a rub mark, there and on the luggage bracket on the right hand side. He hit me mostly in the tire big rub mark on the one side does not appear to be any wheel damage or spokes out of whack. I will pay careful attention on the way home for vibrations or anything weird. Didn't notice anything on the way to work after, but was still a bit full of adrenaline and took surface streets.
I take a tiny bit of blame for messing about with my phone so soon after being stopped. I know better. I am a preacher of heads up on a swivel at lights.... Just didn't do it this time cause I "needed" switch on my music before the freeway.... sigh.
