Default any help on starter issues?

2007 FLSTF: starter remains engaged with engine turning over with the ignition on and engine run switch in the "run" position.

The bike was wrecked August 2010 and this is the first time I have tried to start it since then. I am wondering if wires in the starter button in the harness are going to ground inside the handlebars or if there is a starter relay problem.

Any ideas? has anyone had anything similar happen to them?
