That really sucks, man.

I actually took the sidestand off my bike after I touched it down at a track day. The right-side peg touches down, but on the left side of the bike the sidestand touches down before the peg.

I get a hard time at tech inspection for running on the track with the centerstand, but I just explain that the sidestand touches first, so it was taken off the bike. Both pegs will touch before the centerstand, so that's how I run. The guys at tech just shrug their shoulders and pass my bike.

I hope your hand heals up quickly. I guess you won't be riding for a while. Have you thought about what to get for a replacement bike?
