The guy didn't speak much english but he said he didn't see me.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I priced out the parts and was surprised to find that the side cover is $100 and the speedo cover is $25. I thought these parts were going to be much more expensive. I'm going to get an estimate for the repairs and most likely fix the bike myself after I get paid.

Of course if they are coming towards you on the move and make the decision to turn spur of the moment, you don't have time for that.
Left turners and inattentive lane crossers are a couple of my biggest fears.
Ferret, I've been riding for 35 years and never thought to do the weave to attract attention. That's great advice and something I will do from now on when possible.
Thanks!
