I was fine, but my left tail light was ripped off. we parted way. Today I fixed my tail light and got it working again. Going to work today, at the same intersection as Monday, I was brushed by a 20's something guy's car, in a rush to work, who tried to going around me at a stop light and I went down again. so I think I will pack it up, if I make it home tonight.

Thanks....Extent of my damage was a broken left rear turn signal and my confidence. But worst of all was, I was more concern about my brand new gauge getting damage, than me. I owed my light damage to my Harley engine guard, which got a few scratches...Yep, I got to find another route.
