I had a crash 2 saturdays ago when a mail truck i was overtaking turned left as i was passing on the left. Long story short, I (my body) hit the outrigger mirrors on the front corner of the truck (and only that bit of the truck, thank god) as I sneaked in front of him rather than hitting him full on and the bike and I went down in a lawn/ditch. The bike basically wobbled and went down on its right side in soft grass (i exited at some point soon after impacting the mirror). The bar-end lollipop mirror broke off (and the stump of it gashed open my arm thru my textile jacket) and the right peg broke off (possibly with impact to the truck bumper? can't tell, my right foot is severely tender but no broken bones).
What should I check over?
The bars are straight, everything seems straight, brakes work and don't drag. Header seems undented. Lower belt guard has some dirt/grass in the voids on the outside, dirt on the tensioner and rear belt sprocket, a smear of rubber material (bumper? my boot?) on the right swingarm side, right heel plate bent in a bit but bends out by hand, brake pedal unbent. Bit of grass/mud in the socket head of the rear axle.
Honestly I think it's fine to ride once I replace the peg. Tell me different if I need to hear it.
