Hey all, just thought I'd post an update. Sad to say it, but insurance has written my bike off as a Total Loss. The front end is mangled just enough that their inspector said frame damage was basically guaranteed around the steering column. It's a bleeding tragedy, but my bike is off to the great Hog Meet in the Sky.
As for me, I'm handling it as best I can. Ankle is healing up, and my shoulder is almost back to normal. Yippee! I'll be buying a new bike sometime this week, a 2012 VStrom with some 30K miles on it, for $2500 from a friend. As much as I wish I could keep it, this is the end of the road for my SR400.
Finally, I'd again like to remind people to wear All The Gear, All The Time. Even with everything that's happened, I got off easy because my gear saved me. Wear the gear, even if it looks silly, because it'll help save your life.
you can usually negotiate to pay for repairs instead of the whole bike, and not have to scrap it entirely. not sure how it would work in your jurisdiction, but worth looking into if you haven't already.
