Not that I'd ride the fork after a crash like that but does go to show the resiliency of carbon..
Anyways that'll buff right out

Yeah it's crazy! That fork is the oldest part on the bike too, it's the Alpina one that came with the FXE 9 years ago and has been on all the tours, courier work etc since. What surprised me was that the front tyre didn't blow out either, that was my first thought when I heard the noise from the impact

All was paradise until I was drafting the car of my host for the night back to the casa and a monster pothole sailed between his wheels and right in front of mine. My front wheel smashed into the far side of it, a loud bang then tyres screeching, horns and much swearing ensued. I'm still on the bike somehow but all is not well...
