Hi all,

had my first crash today :smt013 . Was going round a corner I have been round loads of times before at higher speeds and the front started to wobble. Being a numpty I was too hard on the rear brake and as the corner carried on round I carried on straight. Luckily nothing coming the other way and I found myself in a ditch with the bike on top of me. It started fine once it was out of the ditch, (thanks trucker dude!) but the handlebars are slightly off now. Rode the mile and 1/2 home no problem.

Not mechanically minded, does this sound like it is gonna be a major issue?

Strangely enough my wife Sandy fell off her ER5 last night................and guess what the wheel is pointing left when the bars are straight.
I think they are just a little twisted in the yokes/steering head..............it's in bit now not a big job just annoying and time consuming.
In theroy it could be a bent frame but I doubt it

Glad ur ok matey.

The yokes maybe be twisted and the bars maybe bent.

sort the bars outs 1st, then see if it still pulls to one side when riding in a straight line.

/me is prolly wrong though.

Nothing hurt but my pride!!

Excellent, gives me somewhere to start ta
