dropped my bike

so i dropped my bike, i was going down my steep driveway and hit my rear brakes and it locked up. I managed to completly stop the bike before it fell over, minor damage the right front factory turn signal took 95% of the damage which is good because I have a few spares. however now it wont start cranks over but no start. any ideas

thanks

Check to see if you bumped the kill switch to off.

Kickstand switch, clutch switch, kill switch.

Check the easy stuff first.

Hell at 85k mine might use some oil from time to time..... but that is usually when I've been in the top 25% of the rev range and that is to be expected from a big twin.

Under "normal" riding conditions mine still doesn't burn any oil....
