Coming through a round-about. I may have been going a little faster than I should've, but was by no means driving like an idiot. As I started my lean to the left, I felt the bike start to dip down more than it should have, but I was still going more or less straight. Then the scraping sounds. Then I was sliding on asphalt. Turns out there was small gravel on outside 1/3 of the lane. I didn't see it it going in. Hell, I could barely see it when I went back to check it out afterwards. It was almost identical to the asphalt itself. Left side of the bike took the brunt (pics attached). Lost the passenger peg, the whole fairing, scuffed the engine cover, bent the handle bar over, trashed the mirror, front and rear signal. It hit the curb and flipped up onto the dirt, so I need to take a closer look tomorrow to make sure the wheels and forks are ok. My preliminary inspection looked good. There is a dimple on the tank on the right side. My guess is when the handlebar on the left dug into the dirt, it smacked it hard enough the other way to hit the tank. It's tiny and not a big deal.
