As the only authorized discounter, in the US, for Skykingproducts,
makers of an excellent frame slider line, I hate to be a wet blanket.
Alas........

Frame sliders are designed to hit pavement.  If you down on
sand/mud/snow whatever, they just poke in and let your lovely plastic
bits get eaten.  They are also designed to "break-away" rather than
destroy engine/frame mounts.  "How does he know this", you might ask.
Well, I have dropped most every kind of bike on every kind of surface in
my career, that's how.  And I don't intent to stop here.

So, to save your bike from low-speed low-sides, parking lot drops (for
those who have accomplished these, I don't have to explain, for the rest
of you, just wait) and other silly/stupid dings, frame sliders are just
the ticket.  Inexpensive in comparison to the damage they prevent,
easily installed and provokers of questions like:  "Hey, what's that
thingy?"

They are also just the place to store your "hardwarmers" when not in
use.

Thanks for all of your responses.  I wonder if one of those frame
sliders 
would have lessened the damage.

I will compare prices and work quality at local paint and body places.
I 
would need to replace three body panels, since i was lucky enough to
scrape 
all three.    I thought about the custom paint job, I of Irish ancestry,
so 
a British motif would be cause me to be disowned.  But if I used a Irish

theme the damn thing would probably never run again.
