Yeah the problem will likely be far worse after the most recent crash, the bike is just sat there now, haven't checked it out properly. The the crash from last year wasn't so bad, not head on anyway, more like being shunted and chucked onto the pavement and the bike ended up on top of me! But that still knocked the bars/ forks out of alignment.

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?
