Well I did end up on the sidewalk
After some guys helped me get her on the road. Yolie was on the sidewalk behind it
I slid from the corner to where I'm standing for the pic.
Impact with the curb bent the slider back like that
The frame cracked just above the engine mount. So I figure the curb just yanked the slider causing the crack.
That was curb impact too. Lucky I didn't break my leg

No idea at that point.
I haven't heard of any frames cracking on s1ks. And the slider while bent far enough back to push in the fairing wasn't far enough back to actually strike frame (the crack was below the puck). So I dunno what caused it. But the frame was clearly cracked (went and saw it myself).
Was either the lowside or the idiot that transported her

Are you managing to keep a clean title with all of this? It would be a shame to end up with a rebuilt title so soon into its lifetime.
Basically you want to check all the usual stuff you would at like the start of the season. Check your lights, make sure brakes are primed and ready, tire pressure, etc. Maybe go around the parking lot a little bit doing some basic tests just in case.
