I have a few bruises & scrapes on my legs.
Thank you.
carbon fiber is notorious for failing without warning after crash damage especially forks. Naturally with a proper inspection it is difficult to determine the true extent of the damage but I would strongly encourage you NOT to ride it again. The motorcyclist should pay for a replacement if he was at fault. If you were at fault then I would strongly suggest you have the bike professionally evaluated before riding again. Might find it difficult to find someone who will provide that evaluation as they become liable if the bike fails
