sounds innocent enough, right? must be something simple. but i've heard that after a collision, they just never ride right again and i'm finding that to be true now:
had a low speed collision bout six months ago in which the font of my bike was hit. i'm told by the shop that my forks were not bent. had an alignment done then they checked the stem bearing and bushings and say they were fine and yet...
when i ride, i feel like mostly my right hand is involved in steering - the left hand just kind of hangs there and doesn't participate much. if i ride with no hands, it goes off to the right. i kind of just want to swap out front ends and be done with it rather than do the whole thing bit by bit replacing stuff until it's fixed, which would probably end up costing as much or more.
any ideas? i really don't want to sell this bike, but if i can't get her to fly straight, then...
