My PCX fell over and I'm reminded how cheap to fix

It was on an incline and I thought it was stable but it started to fall and I tried to stop it but ended up on top of the bike. Damn! And when I was trying to save it, I wrenched my back.
I'm in Thailand where I save 1000's on the original purchase price and bikes are cheap to get worked on here. A regular service will be under $30.
I took the bike in for an estimate and I need to replace two panel/parts, basically one side of the bike. The estimate came to $120 which I think is amazing. This would have been $500 in the good ole USofA.
BTW, in Thailand, no Honda scooter ever gets a valve adjustment here. It's a complete waste of time and is required only to drive up the price of maintenance. Valves rarely need adjustment. I know it used to be required to maintain the warranty. Don't bother.
