i was squidding it out in the lot and it just runs like crap now, and took me quite a while to get it started, maybe the carbs are all flooded? Ooh that was too weird riding sans helmet and a fleece!

Now i'm pissed off all over again.

No, it's probably not the carbs that are giving you problems.

More than likely you had some oil get past the valves when the bike was laying on the ground. Pull your plugs, cycle the motor a few times, clean or replace the plugs- you should be ok.

ETA: When I say "cycle the motor" I mean hit the starter button and blow the oil out of the combustion chamber, (a little WD will help to facilitate this process). You might want to have a friend hold a rag over the spark plug hole to keep from blowing crap all over the place. Conversely, you could have the ho that knocked your bike over, put her eye up to the hole, and tell you when the oil stops coming out.
