WOW! A speedy recovery to you my friend. GLAD you maintained consciousness, had help quickly and we have such GREAT medical care in the USA to get you up and back in the saddle sooner than later.
FANTASTIC to hear abt your support system. Tells you something abt how great a person you are.
DUDE! That bike is rashed! Man, this could have been SO MUCH worse. First of all, I'm mighty glad that you not only survived, but also were able to report in so quickly; you could easily be in a coma or permanently paralyzed. I love that you had so much immediate care; God was definitely watching you closely.
What did you have mounted on the docking points? The left front mount is twisted/torn forward; looking at that and the right side of the engine guard, it's easy to see how that bike was tumbling end-over-end.

That rapid loss of air in the front tire you indicated, but pics show looks like air in it?
I don't know about current tires, but both of my bikes with stock Dunlops would sit erect with no pressure at all. Both were slam empty when I bought the bikes and you couldn't tell by looking.
