...bent?
Post crash report:
Bike seems fine in all aspects except for some fairing damage (which I believe is fixable). Most all systems, (cooling and lubrication, frame, forks, etc.), are good to go, except for handlebar alignment....and a continuously blinking ABS light.
However, the handlebar (s) are a little off now when travelling straight on the road.
Forks are parallel....(I've been out there this morning with bunch of framing and drywall squares checking the same), before riding 40 miles.
Could I have hit those bars hard enough to bend them?...or the mounting?
Of course the answer is yes....but they seem to look OK...to the eye. (not bent).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Jim...with scabs and sprains, diminishing, and with the help of some serious ibuprofen and couch usage., am good to go.
PS...and around here, when one is thrown from a horse, the old and wise adage is to get right back on.
Done.
