See if it locks turned the other way; that's the way mine is now. Or, you may have to remove the headlamp and file the steering stop.

sheesh... i don't know what to say.  um... be careful?  maybe you should go the opposite direction and get her to follow you again, maybe that'll straighten it out.  ;)

sounds like you may be riding a little more aggressively since this chic is behind you.  Maybe you should let her lead...

It sounds like the steering geometry may have been affected, and I wouldn't ride a bike that has the steering compromised in any way. Is there such a thing as an alignment check so that all the geometric specs can be verified? This could trip you up again in tight corners, emergency maneuvers, etc. Just looking won't detect problems.

Get your friend to ride in front on you. maybe she'll take a dive and you'll get the warning to slow down.
