So I'm new to motorcycles and just had my first accident
No injuries (to me)
I was showing my friend my motorcycle in a parking lot behind my fraternity. I was riding back and fourth w/o a problem. then when i rode across the lot on a different side I ran into three consecutive potholes with gravel at the bottom that i couldnt see until i was close to them. I thought oh ****, tried to ride through them and fell... either because I am such a novice or just because potholes are tough to handle, I fell at approximately 15 to 20 MPH. not much damage was done to the bike thanks to the frame sliders. but the part of the frame which the foot break and foot rest is attached to broke. I'm including a picture here and I would really appreciate if you guys can help me identify the part.

I'm also wondering if i need to buy this part or if i can mend it (soldering). Basically the bottom half of the hole where the footrest is attached snapped off, where you see the red line is where I would have it stuck back together. so the footrest and brake came loose but they are in working condition and will be fine once reattached.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Ed
