    Thanks for all your wishes guys.. I'm just full of scratches nothing serious.
    what happened..? here's my tale:
    I was taking down a corner at around 60kmph (i love cornering) and a crow got hit or say i was hit by a crow right onto my head.. I lost my line..and because of that bike started drifting.. and rear tyre never got the grip back.. now I'm at home regreting that

    So, getting back to topic.. How to check the alignment of forks? visually there 's no damage and most of the handling issues are solved..

      A CROW HIT YOU... This is the first bird hit report on a Bike ...
      Thank God you didn't crash at higher speeds , and managed to at least control the bike and have a controlled crash at a lesser speed.
      If your bike rides like before then you have no issues with fork or alignment...
      Take care ride safe.

        Wow. As psr mentioned, bird hit is rare. Visualizing the incidents as mentioned by you, I would be more bothered about the handle bar alignment cause thats the one which takes the strain, fork's usually lose their alignment when there is head-on impact or side swipe. Just do a visual check if the tubes run the length parallel to each other and you observing from the side. Sad part is, the ride experience always isnt 100% satisfying after a crash..some people get along, but I have found it difficult to adjust back... wish you a great recovery honda_cbf
