Hi
Basically what happens in that i can't keep the handle bars straight, they like to veer to the left, this got progressively worse, i should say that a year ago i had an altercation with a car, not a massive crash but the forks/ bars went out of alignment, had everything readjusted and everything was fine, then i started to notice a very subtle veering to the left, not very noticeable at all at first but now it's very pronounced, when i life the bike off the ground the bars immediately snap to the left.
Now i googled and looked around forums and stuff and it sounds like it's either a headset/ fork/ or frame issue. I wanted further advice so i thought i'd consult the beautiful LFGSS hivemind.
Incidently, i just had another encounter with a car last week, this time pretty big, got cut off so it was head on (exploded inner tube, forks/ handlebars gone out of alignment etc etc) so i guess major overhaul is needed. what do you guys advise?
