Coming down Huisrivier pass ( can never seem to do it slow ) I was overtaking a Corolla that decided to turn right ( illegally)  and I hit the right front of his vehicle taking out the entire headlight and half of the front bumper.
Lucky managed to keep the bike upright and the summary of the damage to myself is a bruised knee and the bike a bent footrest and slightly damaged valve cover. The bulk of the impact was absorbed by the valve cover and motor.
On hindsight I do believe that on any other bike I would not have come off without broken leg.
