The risk we take became reality... your managing the risk by using engine guards & your apparel & helmet also paid off for you... truly glad for you that "the pinky" is all that physically pains you!... talk with a good auto body repair guy... he(she) can get your tank dent repaired so you do not have to look at that dent every time you ride... which might be awhile as you go through the repair procedure(s)... again... although bike could have been worse(rlet's karma???) thank goodness you "lucked-out" physically!!
