Last weekend I lowsided my 09 xb12 on some gravel. I was only doing about 20 mph and I was fine. I assessed the damage and the shift linkage was bent, toe peg snapped off and the rest was cosmetic.
So, I recieved my new shifter and linkage today and I start up the bike, drop it to first, then up to second and grinding. So, I brought it to neutral and tried again, same grinding. Then, I shut it down. I tried rolling the bike back and forth while in 1st, with the clutch in and it wouldn't roll more than a few inches, like it was still in gear.
How bad did I f*ck up?
Please feel free to tell me what an idiot I am.

Yeah, it seems fine. I'm going to put it up on the stand and try shifting to 2nd again. I popped the clutch cover and the primary cover and didn't see anything alarming.
Sounds like the shift shaft that goes through the cover is bent.
I was afraid of that...
+1 what Cooter said!
Update. I ended up taking it to my dealer.
They're bull friendly. Hoping for the best and a quick turnaround.
I'll cross my fingers for ya!
