Thanks for the kind replies 
Definitely lots learned from that day. I'd left in a hurry and hadn't bothered to take the time to put on the only knee pro trousers I have, I'd relaxed so much after the mornings furious trip to the extent that I wasn't paying enough attention to the road...
I was very lucky with the injuries. I was out of the cast and putting weight on the foot within 2 weeks. On Monday (5th Nov) I started physiotherapy to get all the movement back again as everything is obviously very stiff and has limited range of movement.
Legal stuff is all good - because there was a lot of grit on the outside of the curve the policeman said that probably contributed to the crash. As the artic continued on his merry way and probably never even knew I'd clipped him there was no third party, so there's no "causing an accident" or anything like that to have to respond to. He was actually very helpful and managed to get in touch with my wife and work to let them know what had happened. Bike was insured fully comp with a £200 excess, no clothing included. After a bit of wrangling they've coughed up £1,600 (minus the excess) for it so I think I did well enough there. The good news is I've already spent the insurance on another FZS600 - same year, in silver and been riding to work this week
But I have to ask - what does ATGATT stand for??!!
