Is it an R70/R75 BB or newer Boxer like a 1150? It should be technicaly ok if he dropped it 'off the stand' at standstill apart from a bruised ego and paint... I hope you let him pick it up hehe.
Not annoyed..but im in pain and Im going to go to the doctor and quite possibly be admitted into the hospital. Crohn's pain can be annoying..but when serious complications arise like obstructions, kidney and liver problems, so far Im unable to keep anything down today from this morning..just puking..

I think that the little cylinder head ABS plastic pucks/skid plates from a similar/same engined GS model could be found fitted to outside of the rocker boxes, if you/he a little need something to take the 'drop off stand' damage/scuffs in the future.
It shouldn't leak yet - it would be already if it was I feel - some of the gouging of the rocker cover (because it's not quite as hard) helps protect the cyinder head.
If it, the rockercover looks like it has really been mauled by a Tiger (be it Triumph's or the animal), then you might want to start hunting for scapyards, net, papers or dealears for new rocker cover in the future for piece of mind less cost from servicing staff, when it does eventually 'hole' through.
Not meaning by its age, ware or usage, but by future accidents/drops as the covers and most of engine is an aluminuim alloy, not the steel alloys brittle iron of old..
Sometime, that is true Wayneand it was Saturday night, so...
