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.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

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...
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

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.
