Hello,
I slid into a curb on the right so of my bike. The bike fell over on it's right side into the grass. Looking at the bike I can see the handle bars are bent and one of the the throttle cables is linked. I have a photo of the front of the bike and wanted an opinion on what anyone can see is wrong with the bike.
Thank you.

ZRX will be along with a full detailed analysis of why you crashed and how you can correct you shitty riding skills by listening to him and then go do some track days. On serious note the only damage I can see in the picture is you knocked both mirrors clean off ...ZRX will also explain to you how dangerous that is to you and to everybody within a 1000 mile radius of you.

One way to check front end alignment is to lay a straight 2"x4" square against your rear wheel and measure the distance at the front wheel from the edge of the 2x to the wheel, then do the other side, if there is a difference in the two measurements something is bent. Of course the bike needs to be standing straight up with the front wheel straight.
PS: If it is bent, let me know and I will suggest how to fix.
