If I were your wife, I'd be kicking your ass for dinging up my Bimmer with your bike.  cheeky

You may be the first guy in motorcycling history to do a "but I didn't even see him" to himself.   bang head

Sorry man, that sucks.  Probably even more than my low speed gravity storm, but the result is the same.   Do you have a pit stand?  If so, find a level place and set your bike on it, get a carpenter's level and check a couple of places on the frame to make sure the from is sitting level, then do a few checks on the triples and forks.  You can even see if they are off pretty easily.

The good news: unless your really backed up onto the bike, chance are you can straighten out the forks by simply loosening them up, nudging them a bit, and re-tightening them.
If you're really worried, find a computurized frame straightening place to check it out.










(Seriously though, that sucks. Sounds like something I would do)

It has sensors, I was wondering what all the racket was.  Oh well, if the forks are bent, I take some of the earlier advice and upgrade the forks.  Oh, and my wife said thats what you get for skipping church last Sunday to go on a ride.

oooohhhh BURRRRNNNN...
